[QUOTE="killerbeez 75, post: 842583, member: 56690"] There is quite a bit of stuff you can look for.Look for any rust anywhere.Dents in the pipe.Oil on the motor.How much oil is comming out the pipe.Scratch marks on the forks or side of the swing arm.general presentation of the bike(do you have a good feeling about the bike).Stock or aftermarket plastics.If he has aftermarket plastics it means that 75% of the time the bike was pretty abused and he or she put new plastics on to sell it and make it look good.Condition of the tires.How soon do you have to change the brake pads.Look underneath the bike and see how much damage is on the frame.Look for any cracks in the frame or subframe.Condition of the clutch(how does it feel).When was the last time the top end was replaced.Condition of chain and sprockets.All of this can be determined by how new the bike may be as well.For most instances, the newer,the better.I hope some of this will help you on your new purchase.Good luck.
