It's a lot like looking to buy a rear engine dragster, My mentor in the racing world said to look at cars in the northern states, they usually have fewer runs due to the shorter race season. Same with these bikes, they get put away for the long winter and when they won't run in the spring, some people just let them sit. The nicer the bike the more likely they will keep it around even if it doesn't run. My 75F sat unused for 18 years. It's parts bike was inside a bush and covered with rubber mats, I couldn't see it from 5 feet away! The bikes in the warm climates show us just how many miles can be put on one kept in service and maintained properly.
