Why do imported motorcycles have mileages in miles?
This is a question we are asked regularly.
Many motorcycles imported from the USA were originally manufactured and sold for the American market.
As both the UK and USA use miles, imported motorcycles will often have speedometers and odometers displaying miles rather than kilometres.
This can be useful when assessing the history and use of a motorcycle over its lifetime.
When buying any classic motorcycle, it is always worth considering the overall condition and history alongside the recorded mileage.
