I bought my 2006 675 from a guy who had literally every piece of paperwork associated with the bike. He had part numbers and receipts for everything he had ever did to the bike. He use to build race bikes back in the day and he even showed us his shop. So I was pretty confident buying from him. I was surprised when he handed me a binder of paperwork after I handed over the cash ✌🏻

Check behind all of the plastics. Shiny, crack, and scratch free plastics on an older bike may be hiding damage from a drop or slide. If parts were replaced, ask why they were (accident, upgrade, etc), and do the original parts come with the bike. (Having spares is always a good thing.)

Always check for Clean Title in the owners name and the bike is completely paid off with no remaining liens, make sure the VIN# matches the engraving on the bike, check KBB for the average value (don’t be afraid to negotiate!), Age of the Tires (the manufacturer date is printed on the sidewall), if it’s chain driven check for rust & tension, open up that gas tank and check for rust (a responsible owner will keep a full tank with fuel stabilizer), test ride and test braking & suspension, headlight/Turn Signals/Horn, check the front forks for any leaks… Oh and definitely educate yourself with the bike you’re interested in, knowledge is key my friends 🏍🤓✌️

Keep making this type of guide videos. You can even repeat them every time making it better and more efficient.

I suggest saving for a bike in the summer and fall and buying in the fall or winter when used bike prices are the lowest. Spend the rest of the winter catching up on maintenance (when motorcycle tire prices are lowest) and adding the accessory equipment you want, which also helps with the angst of having a new bike you can't ride in the winter.

Some really good points. Side note, did you see that SUV at 3:16 hit the indicator and then just push it's way between two cars ... noobs take note that these car drivers exist.

Dangerous animals!

I generally avoid bikes (and cars) which have a lot of performance modifications. This stuff might be desirable to some but can lead to real headaches and expensive repair bills down the road. You can rarely be sure the modifications have been done correctly and that the bike isn't a ticking bomb as a result.

I've bought 5 2ndhand bikes so far, so for beginners like me, always go for the bike that has no to minimal amounts of modifications, be it visual or performance. Even if they are good mods, they will almost never suit your taste in the long run anyway.

I've got 44k miles on my 07 R6, 34k miles on my 09 R1 and 33,000 miles on my 05 R1. Yamaha's definitely do need a valve adjustement around the 27k mile mark but after you get your valves back in spec and sync your throttle bodies you are golden. They all run and idle like brand new.

Waking up just time for another great yammie vid.

Check the dates on the tires. They may have plenty of tread but if they are 5 years old or older they will most likely need replacing. Another bargaining chip to work with.

After looking for second hand mt 07s here in The Netherlands I figured its smarter to buy a brand new. They are 1k more expensive and you get a brand new one.... Crazy. Sometimes brand new IS THE option :)

Completely agree I’m buying a cb650r used ones are listed for basically the same price as the new bike, so there’s no point in buying the used bike, if your hard up over a thousand dollars and buy the used one instead you probably shouldn’t be buying the bike to begin with cause you can’t afford it. New they are 9.3k used people are asking 8-9k that’s ridiculous I’ll buy new

This is the video I was looking for yesterday. You read my mind!

Mileage should be disregarded in general. Low mileage the owner could have disconnected the speedo or replaced the cluster with another. If the bike has 50k plus know that it was most likely taken care of.

Funny just got my third bike as a non runner, no testride to speak of and the owner just got it as trade deal and never used it, only payed $300 and needed $37 in parts to get it out on the road, now this china dual sport is my daily ride during the Swedish winter and not worried if I drop it on an ice patch and scuff the tank :)

100% agree with "owners who seem to forget they're selling something" - if you repeatedly take >1 day to respond to msgs (or I have to ping you to remind you) and you only answer a few of my questions, then experience has taught me you're probably not all that pressed to sell and you probably won't be pleasant/easy to negotiate with. Young me would have stubbornly kept pursuing, but life is short and there are plenty of other fish

TRUTH YAM 💯💯💯

AWESOME AMAZING FANTASTIC VIDEO ! I ENJOYED IT ! I LOVE IT !

Here in Japan, test rides are not a thing, you trust the dealer or don’t buy it, and yes it is a gamble. People here seem to only sell there bike when something is not ideal and if they are selling on there own not though a dealer it’s probably because the dealer wouldn’t take it.

The number one thing you should do when buying used bikes, cars, boats etc..............before you consider anything.........check how easy it is to get parts for that particular model, were there a lot of them produced, how much do key parts cost? Beware of vehicles that were abandoned cause they cost too much to fix. I gave up riding road bikes years ago, people tail gate too much, I was the middle vehicle in a 7 car pileup on the highway, my bike got turned into a pancake, I jumped and walked away without a scratch.

I’ve been wondering. Say I started in a 54HP ‘97 Honda CB500. What would be a good second naked motorcycle? On the cheaper there are the SV650’s, but I’m looking into moving to Yamaha, either a 07 or 09. What do you recommend?

Read up on the "consumables" and replacement parts possibilities to understand the potential service bills (even if you do your own wrenching) in the foreseeable future... ESPECIALLY TIRES... That list includes things like gaskets, seals, o-rings, and the brake lines at this point... It's not a guaranteed replacement list, mind you... JUST that "sitting to death" can be a thing, depending on how the bike was routinely stored... SO it's worth knowing what might've been 'broke down" by the elements of just sitting quietly, and while they may hold up for a while, that's a vague and indiscriminate amount of time before you're on the hook for the adjustments and replacements... For perspective, I bought a 95 Suzuki Savage 650, with 3850-ish actual miles on it. I had a FULL history of the bike with confidence... AND I've treated her as much like a trail bike as the cruiser she is for thousands of miles now... Other than the initial carburetor clean out (shellacking sucks for engine operation)... I have no complaints... LOVE it! Hope this helps, as some of those "consumables" might be worthy of mention in price negotiation so you could even get a break... ;o)
