From the article: How to Inspect a Used Motorcycle
My first bike was a used Yamaha Seca II, and I wish I knew then what I know now about inspecting and buying a used motorcycle; the Yamaha's chain ended up snapping during a ride, and I spent a mint on repairs that could have been avoided.
Have you bought a used motorcycle that turned out to be more trouble than it was worth? Share your story here!

- I have never owned a new bike, and very seriously doubt that I ever will. I have owned five bikes since the first in 1980. Every one of them was a dream ! The keys are to buy from a trusted siurce, and to check them out religiously beforehand.
