Buying Used
Motorcycles
Motorcycle
enthusiasts sink a lot of money into their rides by adding extra equipment,
personalizing and modifying them. One way to help reduce the overall amount
that you spend on your bike is to start with a used motorcycle that you can
customize the way you want.
Before
you Buy: Get the Bike’s Story
While
buying a used motorcycle is, in theory, a perfect solution, insurance doesn’t
cover the damages that come when you purchase a bike that is mechanically
unsound, so you need to take care in getting the whole story about the bike’s
history.
·
Ask
if this is the bike’s original owner: If you are buying the motorcycle from its
original owner, then they will know the bike’s whole history. If not, there may
be skeletons sitting in the bike’s closet.
·
Ask
if the bike has ever been in an accident: If the motorcycle’s been in an
accident or has been dropped, it’s possible there is irreparable damage to its
frame. You can also enter the bike’s VIN number into the Carfax system to get a
report.
·
Get
the maintenance records: A properly maintained bike can be a good buy, but a
bike that has had no tune ups and little attention paid to oil and other fluids
could be a nightmare.
