I want a 500-650 cruiser style motorcycle. I want to buy new but the dealers around me only have larger (1100cc+) bikes left. I don’t want anything that huge. That leaves me shopping used. I have never bought a used motorcycle before. What should I be looking for and what should I stay away from?
Thanks for the help!

Used motorcycles for sale can be perfect for beginners or those on a very tight budget. Used motorcycles for sale does not mean junk for sale. Many used motorcycles for sale are in fantastic condition, just that their owners have outgrown them for one reason or another. The problem is that looking for used motorcycles for sale can be frustrating. Sometimes it is hard to know even where to start. Used motorcycles for sale can be found just about anywhere. Here are three places to look other then car dealerships..
1. Local Newspapers.
The local newspapers are one of the best places to find used motorcycles for sale. This is simply because you have the advantage of close proximity of used motorcycles for sale. When you find used motorcycles for sale in your local area, then it is possible to physically inspect the used motorcycles for sale. This will help you know if this is truly the one of the used motorcycles for sale for you. Many people can’t hide a defect if you are looking directly at it. Question why they are selling it, if the reason that the used motorcycles for sale is something serious don’t buy it unless you are sure you can either live with it, or repair it.
2. Internet Classifieds.
If you have combed through the local classifieds and still have not found your dream motorcycle among the many used motorcycles for sale, then the next place to look may be the Internet. While this lacks the close proximity of used motorcycles for sale in your local area, it does open up a much broader number of choices. Most Internet classifieds have pictures included with the ads, but a picture can be doctored, or the owner can take a picture of the best parts, leaving out any defects, so that it looks excellent in the picture posted. Used motorcycles for sale in Internet classifieds can be excellent deals, but they can also be lemons. Be aware of any problems with the used motorcycles for sale and make some kind of agreement with the seller if you are worried about the used motorcycles for sale turning into a lemon. Generally though, when you buy used motorcycles for sale from individuals, you are buying “as is” so this must also be something you are willing to deal with.
3. Auctions.
Auctions can be very excellent opportunities for finding used motorcycles for sale. Not only can you see the motorcycle, but there is generally a slot of time in advance for you to look more closely at the motorcycle you are considering, if these are local auctions. Many collectors seek out auctions, so some collectors edition motorcycles can get very pricey, but ordinary used motorcycles for sale can be very reasonable and some times even very inexpensive. Auctions can also be virtual auctions. These used motorcycles for sale in the virtual auctions can have the same issues as Internet classifieds. You can’t physically see the used motorcycles for sale, but they can also have the same advantages, you have many more to choose from.
Hello, I have bought a used motorcycle and was given a 3 month engine and gearbox warranty. What is covered in this warranty? The reason I question is the day after I bought the bike there was an oil leak which may be coming from the cylinder head.
Any help would be much appreciated.
