When you think ‘used’ or ‘previously owned’ in regards to a motorcycle, do you think high mileage?
Our shop has more than half a dozen previously owned bikes with less than 500 miles on them! At the end of each month, we’ll share SF Moto’s Low Mileage Leader – the previously owned motorcycle or scooter we acquired in that month with the lowest mileage.
January’s Low Mileage Leader was a green 2012 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R with only 155 miles on it!
We did a fair bit of online investigating to try and come up with a yes or no answer, but ultimately, ‘it depends.’

Three-cylinder supersport and superbike motorcycles may finally be in the works from Yamaha. Last week, the company filed for trademarks for “YZF-R3″ and “R3″ names for motorcycles in the European Union and United States. Photo from Asphalt and Rubber.
With the new year comes an increase in the fines and penalties for traffic citations from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
We wanted to make sure our fellow CA motorists (no matter whether by car, motorcycle, or scooter) are aware of the financial costs of breaking traffic laws. It’s important to remember that the cost may extend far beyond the financial realm, should your actions result in physical injury or damage to yourself or others. Always practice safe riding and follow the traffic laws.

When you’re self-employed, working from a home office, you tend to dress…well, maybe casual isn’t descriptive enough. Let’s just say I’ve forgotten how to iron creases or tie a half-Windsor. Jeans, tennies and my favorite ironically sloganed t-shirt are my usual apparel. Zip me up into my trusty Aerostich and I’m ready-to-ride.
Except for my feet! Your feet and ankles are very vulnerable to injury, and not just in a crash. Your sneaks may look great and be as comfortable as wearing no shoes at all, but they’re not really up to the dangers of riding, even if you’re not on the racetrack. How about a little hot exhaust header on your ankle? Or slipping in a nice patch of antifreeze and having 600 pounds of angry motorcycle land on your ‘ol malleolus? Ow.
