The wheel looks turned for sure. If the wheel was straight and it looked like that, then it could be a bent fairing stay. Also, when you look at the bike, look good from the back and make sure the tail looks straight. Sometimes when the subframe is bent, the plastics of the tail will be cocked too.

I just got a front stand for my bike and noticed that my front wheel is slightly offset like that when my handlebars are straight (only to a slightly less degree). I dropped it from a standstill once a good 5K miles ago. The bike steers straight and I never noticed anything. Should I be good to go, or is there anything I can do to correct this? I was thinking a slightly twisted fork. Wouldnt I notice my bike pull if it was truly offset? Anything to worry about?

Take it to GMD Computrack and have them measure it. Only way you're going to know for sure.

SPL is right. This is not something that you can just measure by eye.

If there's a decimal there he's showing you a picture of the trip meter. Why is he showing that and not the odometer?

Unless you are right and he really is lying and the odometer reads 27,000 miles and instead he took a picture of the trip meter displaying 2745.5.

Yeah I caught that. I sent an email to the guy asking about it.

$4500 for a k7 600 with 2700 miles in that condition is pretty cheap..specially when hes throwing in an arai helmet and a $300 jacket.

He said it twice in post about the miles. Even in the message back to me the first time asking if clean title, he said very low mileage.

Called the seller and he said its the trip meter. He didnt notice it was on when he took the pictures. He said the trip says 2,745.5 and the odo says 2,745.

I asked for a picture of ODO, didnt recieve one yet but said he would email me it in few hours when he gets home.

I use my trip all the time to gauge how many miles I have left on a tank of gas. seems weird to me that he had never used it.

I have never used mine. I just wait for the idiot light to blink, then I hit a gas station.
