What's the Fewest Miles You've Put on a Bike before You Sold It?

1100 miles BMWK1200S, miserable bike.
I can't think of any of the 50 or so bikes that I have sold after a few miles.
15K on a 2017 R1200RT . I tried everything to get comfortable on that bike. The ergo's weren't good for me at all. The GSA I have is so much better..
Don't know about miles, I put about 20-30 minutes on a CR250 once.
I think it was a '99? The year that everyone said had the most bottom end. It was set up with a woods pipe and a flywheel weight. Instantly did not like the bike but took another lap around a trail to give myself more time to get used to it.
I liked it even less on the second lap 😁

32, 2009 Kawasaki Versys 650. Great bike, but was always going to be a flipper.
0, Bought a barn find 69 Kawi to restore in retirement. Changed my mind and sold it after 8 years for 4 times what I paid for it.
Only bike I have ever made money on.

I don't sell my bikes which might explain why Im up yo 6. I love my 640 Adventure!
Does it mean you make money on a bike if you don't ride it?
If you buy the right bike, yes...Does it mean you make money on a bike if you don't ride it?
I had a 50cc Honda scooter in the 80s when I was 15, had a lot of fun that year gassing it up with pocket change. Sold it a few years later with about 1100 miles on it. Should have kept it.
CB1000R was traded with 1,095 miles. Strange throttle control by the ECU and couldn't make the sitting position work for me--tough on a hip.
11k. 2011 Victory Cross Roads. Gave it a good chance. Just not comfortable enough.
I have the same story except with a Ducati Diana and multiplied my investment 25x. Bike I actually rode was a Honda VFR 800. 700 miles, I hated that engine.
200 miles.
