It could very well be the real mileage. Those tires are the original OEM tread pattern and it looks like they have very little wear. Some people buy quads and just don't use them so you could be getting a good deal. Not sure if the KQ450 has an hour meter but if/when you do go to look at the bike, see what kind of hours are on it. I've seen several threads where we post our mileage and total hours of run time - usually the math works out to an average speed of 10 to 13 MPH.

I know that I bought my one-year old Outlander with 76 actual miles on it. The guy I bought it from only rode it in a 30 acre field that was just down the street from his house.

I wouldn't put alot of weight on the hour meter. You can run up the hours by accidentally leaving the key in the 'on' position.
Rust is normal no matter how well taken care of rust happens. I have to agree, someone may have had a big dream of getting a quad, then realized it wasn't for them and needs the money now. Happens quite a bit. Looks in real good shape, I'd say as long as everything sounds good when running and there's no bent suspension or frame parts you should be good. Wish I could make mine street legal, I'm very jealous!

The factory air filters are of poor quality, the Uni or TwinAir filters are way better, if buying Suzuki air filters; buy their RedLine filters.

Join www.nyrocatv.com great Suzuki forum.

That Exide is an AGM-Activated Glass Mat battery , the latest in battery technology, so good battery.

Buy a battery tender for AGM batteries, and keep it on the quad when you aren't riding. It will keep the battery fully charged at all times.
