Its uncommon but not unheard of. Andor didn't mention his mileage, but it wasn't unusual to have 10+ y/o bikes come in for trade at the dealer where I worked with only 2, 3, 4k miles. Some had just a few hundred miles. They still had original tires, batteries, even oil! If the battery sat on a smart charger with very little use it could last that long.
Not all bike owners are riders like us CB owners.
