In the add the seller says... "It has a passing gear feature on the left handle grip." Anyone know what that's about?

How convenient that it was bought in one State then transferred to another with a lost title. Now the Illinois title will say 22 miles. Sat for 13 years, never oil changed or winterized either right. Should be a rust bucket inside.
Sure, I believe it.

Unless it sat there idling till the pipes were red-hot. Always thought there should be a vin number on the speedo.

VIN wouldn't do you any good if the guy rode it around disconnected.

The bike has everything original from when it was purchased new. The Michelin tires still have the nobbies on them. The tires as well as the rest of the bike only have 22 miles on them.
Check the date of manufacture on the tyres, if they are in fact 15 years old they will need replacing. If they are not this old, then all his description falls to pieces.
How do I tell the age of a tyre?
Tyres carry a DOT number on the sidewall that gives a production date. Since the year 2000 the numbers consist of 4 digits instead of 3. The first two digits indicate the calendar week of production and the next two the year of production.
Eg: 3004 – the tyre was manufactured in the 30th week of 2004.
For tyres manufactured in the 1990's there is a little triangle; after the DOT code. Eg: 4 2 8 triangle; - the tyre was manufactured in the 42nd week of 1998.
If the tyre has a three digit code then it is too old.
