Used Dirt Bikes - A Buyer's Guide
Why buy used dirt bikes instead of a new one? Well, it could be for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, they're cheaper. This makes them particularly suitable for the beginner, who should not fork out large amounts on a bike until he or she is sure they'll get their money's worth out of it. But, even more experienced riders will find them a good option if they're short of funds, or want a cheap, extra bike. If you're a skilled mechanic, you may also prefer a used bike so that you can tinker around with it, and really make it your own. So, let's have a look at a few points to consider when purchasing a second-hand bike.
1. Purpose and Price
To start with, work out what sort of dirt bike you're after, what you'll be using it for, and the price you can afford to pay. Do plenty of research, both on and offline, learning about different makes and what they have to offer.
2. Finding The Bike
Once you know what you're looking for and have set your budget, you need to find the dirt bike. Check out classified ads, both in your local press and in specialized magazines. Place your own classified ad, and see what local dealers have to offer. Buyer from a dealer rather than privately will probably cost you more, but there's a good chance you'll get some sort of warranty. Another good way of finding a used bike is to ask your rider friends if they know of one for sale. That way, you'll probably know more about the bike's background, owner, and what the bike has been used for.
3. Present Owner and Papers
When you go to look over the bike, look first at the owner. First impressions are often true ones. What do you think of the owner? Is he happy to answer all your questions? Do you get the impression he's a keen biker who would care for his bike? And, how about paperwork? There are many stolen bikes around so, ideally, you'll want proof of ownership, maintenance records, and to check there's no outstanding finance on the bike, and that it's passed its current MOT.
4. Test Drive
If you can take the bike for a test drive, then so much the better. Make sure the bike is a suitable size for you, that everything runs smoothly, and that suspension is good. Go through the gears, and test the brakes. Does the bike heat up too quickly?
5. Mechanics
Check out the bike's mechanics such as wheel bearings, engine, and exhaust. Place the bike on a frame and turn the wheels – they should spin noiselessly. Listen also for any tapping or slapping sounds from the engine. And, make sure the exhaust is both legal and in good condition.
Buying used dirt bikes is an excellent way of saving money, but do be patient – take your time, do extensive research, and don't buy until you really feel the bike is right for you.
