Figures shown are for expected accumulated average mileage. Actual mileages may differ substantially. Because of variances in riding styles and road conditions, it is impossible for us to determine accurate dollar values for mileage. Overall condition factors will have a far greater impact on a value than the actual mileage.
All Other Models
Actual and average mileage can be hard to determine due to common odometer malfunctions. This combined with variances in riding styles and road conditions make it impossible to assign dollar values for mileage. Overall condition factors will have a much greater impact on a unit's value than actual mileage.
