Awesome! Thanks guys for all the pointers!
Alright, I need some help here because I never bought a motorcycle/used vehicle and I have been putting some questions together and was wondering what sort of input you had on them...
- Why are you selling?
- Is it registered/have a clean title?
- Has it been modified in any way?
- Has the engine been taken apart/rebuilt?
- What sort of riding did you do with the bike?
- Did you regularly service the motorcycle and can you provided any service receipts? How often?
- Are you the first and only owner? If not, do you know the previous owners riding habits?
- How/where do you store it over the winter?
- Can you cold start it for me?
- Has it been wrecked?
- How old are the... (tires, brakes, oil, etc.)
- What work do you do on the bike yourself?
Now in terms of an inspection what should I be looking for? I thought about researching the particular model of bike before buying just to get a feel for what a "new" version of that bike looks like, but more specifically, I'm not an mechanic and don't have any friends up here who own a motorcycle. I thought about bringing a friend to help me in asking questions, but would it be weird to ask if can be inspected before I buy? What about asking for a test ride? I say ride, if it is possible, because I don't know how to drive one yet... haha
Potential first candidate could be a 1981 Honda CB750F Super Sport I found near me... we'll see...
