i know this isn't the 450r section but just need some peoples humble opinion. i was browsing ebay and seen this 450r forsale, owner states that it only has 50 miles on the engine and has been sitting for the last 3 YEARS. but if you look at the rear tires there is absolutely no tread left. when emailed he stated "Well, driving them on rocky roads will do that to a tire. Wait, isn't it the rear wheels that do all the spinning?" 50 miles riding on roads will not eat that much tread... what do you guys think?

you can ride 50 miles in a weekend.......do you go through a set a ride? thats the logic

FIrst of all, how the hell would he know how many "miles" were on the engine, unless he had an odometer on the bike, which I doubt, and second, I ride my 400ex on the street quite a bit to get to the trails, and in 3 years, I STILL haven't worn out my stock tires to that point yet.

So that ought to tell you he's full of ****.

For stock rear back tires they dont look that bad. But to say its 50miles is false. Still looks like a good bike though. I would hate buying one online without being able to see it inspect it and ride it before the purchase.
