Plenty of bikes sell well with miles on, as they're expected to be used. eg touring Bikes, mid-weight sports Bikes, commuter Bikes etc
I don't understand - I know how much I want to ride and I ride when I want
to ! If I trade in a bike after say 2 years of riding it that doesn't mean I put off riding it ! I agree bikes are meant to be ridden but dealers do consider mileage.
I was a amazed once when part exchanging that a dealer said my bike had done above average mileage because I had done more than something like 4,000 miles a year.
