Used motorcycle buying guide. - 7/20/2005 11:17:14 AM    NeonspeedRT Posts: 1468 Joined: 9/2/2004 From: Jax, FL Status: offline Ok, This question comes up time and time again. I came across this awhile ago on another board and have sent it to a few people. I figure I might as well go ahead and make this a sticky, so everyone can see it. It's a great guiide to go by when purchasing a used motorcycle. It's one of the most indepth guides i've seen so far. http://www.clarity.net/adam/buying-bike.html _____________________________ MSF Rider Coach www.anmsafetycourse.com "Riding a motorcycle is like playing chess.

You can learn a lot about a bike from a quick test ride, things you'd never notice by even the most thorough inspection. Sometimes sellers that won't give you a test ride will let you ride the bike once you've purchased it, with a money-back guarantee if you don't like it. In Massachusetts, riding a bike that you just purchased is illegal (unless somehow you already have insurance & plates for the thing), but if you're willing to break the law, you can learn a lot from a quick, clandestine spin around the block. i love that part, i'll remember not to test-drive a bike when i'm buying from a cop haha.. nice guide tho, wish i knew half of that for my first bike.
