What to look out for when buying Used Motorcycle?
So I am on the market for my first bike. I took a class and learned how to ride it. Looked around a bit and decided to get either 2001+ Yamaha r6 or 2004+ Honda CBR600RR. I mostly looked on eBay and on cycletrader.com and a lot of times these used bikes have scratches and dents. So my question is what to look out for when buying used bike? What damages can turn out to cost more in the long run to fix then others?
Watch out for people who have set up their bikes for track use. This involves a lot of chopping, tweaking of engines, and generally amateurish screwing up of something that worked fine already.
Look at plastic parts to see if things have been cut, and make sure all the lights work. If you can, ask to ride the bike long enough for it to warm up so you can make sure they haven’t janked the engine somehow. Also make sure there isn’t damage under the fairings…some people will put on racing fairings, damage the bike, and put on street fairings again to cover it up.
I’m sure some people do a good job, but there’s tons of bikes out there all messed up from some guy doing a half-arsed job.
PS I agree with the 250 to start sentiment. I had a Ninja 250 that was good for learning, and I dropped it twice. You don’t want to do that on a 2004 CBR 600 RR…it’s just a waste.
