Buying used
When ever Im buying a used vehicle I prefer to check it out at the sellers house...this tells the story about how the guy takes care of stuff. It doesn't have to be a million dollar mansion but if the place looks kept up...nice lawn , neat yard ,reasonably organized garage things like that tell you how he probably took care of the bike too. If you get there and there's 3 broken down cars and a couple half put together bikes or atvs in the driveway and juni piled up in the yard, you might want to think about driving right on by...you can tell if a guy loved his bike or not.
