it's a 2009. not a collector's item, presumably, bought to ride. the designation on the title of mileage isn't gonna make it ride any different. i'm thinking mountain out of molehills here. i would guess that they didn't offer you all that much on trade, and since you sold it to your bud for somewhere near that price, he is missing out on a deal. and you actually lost money selling it to him, by losing the sales tax exemption on the trade amount (if nc does that)

I would buy it back from my friend if it cant be corrected. Even if in the end he says its OK, it will stick in his craw and be a wedge between you two. Ive made it a point to never sell any kind of vehicle to a friend or relative....once time we sold our car to my sister in law for $500. It was worth 3K but we sold it to her for that price because she had kids and was broke as heck. Well of course about 2 months later it had something go wrong with it and all we heard about for the next 10 years during family get together s was how "crappy" that car was. That really pissed me off because we had taken a $2500 loss selling it to her.

I have had several friends cuss me because I won't sell them stuff..this is why...
In most states it would be mileage exempt next year anyway...so it wouldn't hurt him in the least

Another possibility is the OP's friend had second thoughts about being able to ride/handle the bike (or riding a motorcycle in general) and used the mileage issue to back up on the deal.

That right the mileage was over estimated that in your friend favor there no way of correcting title at this point just ride on until it catches up. Not many of us check miles verse the tile just sold a bike and the guy never looked.

See, I don't understand that. If I read the OP's first post right some previous owner ballparked the milage reported higher than the actual milage. Meaning the odometer is correct and the paperwork was erroneously reported as being higher than actual milage. Yes, the title says NAM, but it's strictly a paperwork error and the actual milage is in the owners favor.
Unless of course I misunderstood the first post.

You're right. The mileage discrepancy works in the buyer's favor. And so does the wholesale price he paid for the bike. The problem is a matter of principle. The seller unknowingly misrepresented the bike to a friend, who is upset over the matter. In this case the importance of friendship transcends the bike.

I don't understand the friend/buyer returning such a good deal over such an insignificant thing.
What I would have done, as the buyer, is to ask for copies of the reports and a notarized statement explaining the situation. Then ridden the hell out of that deal!
