Tips and advice to buy a second-hand bike

THINGS YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER WHILE PURCHASING A USED BIKE


Explore the keeper count it has had, sometimes, the seller may not be open with information either willingly or due to lack of information. It is always best to compare and confirm using a bike check prior to buying your used bike.


THE FIRST IMPRESSION IS MADE BY THE PHOTOS


Another crucial factor is photography. For example, if you see that the motorcycle in the images is unclean or neglected, you should be cautious. The fact that the seller couldn't be bothered to take a few minutes and clean the motorcycle in order to acquire a couple of nice images cannot be recommended.

There is also another aspect where the pictures look too good to be true like taken out of a magazine or a branded tabloid, check the motorcycle with your own eyes before buying.


DOES IT HAVE DUPLICATE COMPONENTS INSTALLED?


You're at risk if the motorcycle has a lot of non-standard parts (such as the exhaust, handlebar, guards, and so on). To begin, ensure that they are homologated, of recognizable brands, and in good condition. On the track, a racing motorcycle with several customized parts is pretty common. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but the owner should state it clearly.

It's also a good idea if the ad you're looking at has all of the factory parts in case you wish to restore it to its original condition or if you have issues with a component.
