The Essential Guide to Any Motorcycle Traveler - Online Course: https://rtw-adventures.com/online-cou...

Most of us cannot afford to buy a brand new bike and we have to rely on the second-hand market. In this video, I will tell you some of the key points too look for when you buying a motorcycle. On my channel, I talked a lot about long trips, what bike, what luggage and so on but I missed the most important tip, what to look for when you decide to buy a motorcycle?
There are hundreds of bikes for sale and how we can be sure that we are not going to make a mistake. That the bike is in good condition and the owner is an honest person. The simple answer is we cannot! Before you click out, very disappointed from what I just said let me tell you something:
Most of the motorcycle owners are nice people but we cannot rely on this. Just because we share the same passion does not guarantee that you will get what you have been told.
With this, I don't want to say that all the sellers are liers no, but it is always to have this in mind or at least that they might decide to hide some important facts. Because I am coming from East Europe this is like a natural state, to doubt in people's honesty, but for most of you, especially for the westerns, this could be absolutely different.
A friend of mine, the car dealer told me once: the client wants to be cheated! Or at least this was his understanding of an honest deal! With this in mind, I will advise to stay away from dealers. It will be a way better to try it with a real owner of the, at least he will tell you the history of the bike.
As I said already just because the buyer looks like a nice guy is no guarantee that he will be 100% honest with you. A little doubt might be very helpful.
What I will suggest is to do your homework. Once you choose the brand and the model try to find as more as possible information about it. Year of production, variations, possible problems and many more. Now in the era of the internet, you can find so much information online. Dig into the forums or Facebook groups. Read or watch Youtube videos with video reviews, all of this will help you to have a basic knowledge of the model before you meet the seller. With a few words, you will be prepared. You will be ready with the questions you need to ask.
Number one and maybe the most important question, why he sell it? It is a good starting point. Base on the answer you can continue with your small personal investigation.
Here you can tell me that I am too serious about it and it is not that bad, of course, but I already told you that I am coming from East Europe and in the end the money I am going to spend a hard earned.
After you receive the answer you need finally you can check the bike's condition. I will use my motorcycle as an example and I will show you in practice what you have to look for, let's go out!
