Before you buy please consider the following

1. Know your limits (faster is not always better)
2. Almost everyone crashes or drops their first bike once or twice

Ready to start looking?

1. We suggest that you look for a motorcycle no more than 10 years old
2. Buy a motorcycle that you feel comfortable on (your feet must touch the ground when you are sitting and you cannot have any problems reaching the handle bars)

What to look for when looking at a bike

1. See how the motorcycle starts when it's cold, most motors can start very easy when they are warm. (you can tell if the bike is cold by putting your hand near the engine to feel for heat)
2. While the engine is running listen for any strange sounds. (ticking and banging are always bad signs)

When your ready to buy

1. Take the motorcycle to a mechanic. (only cost $35-40 cdn and is well worth it)

How to reduce the price

1. Look for scratches and cosmetic defects then point them out
