Ok here goes, yes I am newbie and need to know were to start and hopping that you guys will guide me in the right direction.
I have read the FAQ, but did not see anything about buying a used bike.
Since I am new rider goona be, I would like to buy a used bike, but need to know what to look for when buying one.
The reason I want a used bike because I know it will be dropped, I know that. The only thing is when it will be dropped not how.
Anyway
When inspecting a used bike do I look for:
Oil leaks is given
the shape the oil is in
the maintains history.
see if the forks are leaking? not sure
Or once I find the bike I like should I just pay the extra money and take it to a mechanic?
Any thought on this is great full.
Thanks in advance.
