2. Check the Motorcycle’s History Thoroughly

A bike’s past tells a lot about its future.

Key Things to Verify:

  • Service Records: Regular maintenance indicates a responsible owner.
  • Accident History: Check for major repairs or frame damage.
  • Ownership Documents: Ensure the bike isn’t stolen or under financing.

HelmetKing Tip: Always request a copy of the Vehicle Registration Document.

 

3. Conduct a Full Physical Inspection

If possible, inspect the motorcycle during daylight hours.

Checklist:

  • Frame alignment
  • Brake and clutch lever function
  • Tyre tread and age
  • Rust spots (especially exhaust pipes and frame)
  • Lights and horn working condition

Warning Signs:

  • Fresh paint (may hide damage)
  • Uneven tire wear (possible alignment issues)

4. Start the engine

Nothing reveals a motorcycle’s true condition like starting the engine.

Focus On:

  • Smooth throttle response
  • No unusual vibrations
  • Easy gear shifts
  • Responsive brakes

5. Negotiate Smartly & Finalize Paperwork

Used motorcycles are often priced with room for negotiation.

Negotiation Tips:

  • Point out any minor flaws to support your price argument.
  • Research fair market value beforehand.
  • Be polite but firm.
  • Complete and sign the Bill of Sale.
  • Submit the “Transfer of Ownership” application to the Transport Department.
