Original Posting: 12 December 2004 Buying a used or 2nd hand motorcycle is a great way of getting the model that you really want at a discounted or cheaper price. Like cars buying a used motorcycle doesn't mean you have to settle for 2nd best either. For example some may have all the accessories you could possibly want, like hard luggage frames or panniers, tank protectors, chromed wheels, heated grips, higher wind shield and even cruise control and more. However like all used vehicles, motorcycles or cars you have to
wary about the condition. So what to look for to get the best condition used motorcycle: If buying privately try to get a independent mechanical check. As the seller just be honest about the condition of the bike. It will be quicker to sell. If buying from a dealer the sales person will probably not know
the condition of the bike. Better dealers will have a checklist of details on
each motorcycle they have. Since we're still trying to get some stability from the worst economic crisis since 1929 Great Depression you may find some very good deals both new and used. Just be careful it's legit though! Since this is a Hayabusa site here's some tips I have learnt over the years on how to buy a used Hayabusa. There is no consistent or specific problem to the Hayabusa that I am aware of with Hayabusa. All problems are age related and can happen to any motorcycle rather than every Hayabusa. (Feel free to disagree) However just check any recall work has been does especially on early models since many don't have official servicing done due to planned modifications. If the motorcycle has been substantially modified try to get it
checked properly since most of the problems I hear of are from modified bikes. |
