The dreaded "Buyer's Remorse"! There are few things worse than buying a used vehicle only to find out you got dooped! A few years back I picked up a 2013 Harley Davidson Road Glide. I was very excited about the new bike until waking up the next morning and getting a closer look in the day light. Stay tuned to see what mistakes I made and how you can avoid making the same!

Have you ever had to deal with "Buyer's Remorse"? Drop a comment below!
Jon's Moto Garage I once ate at taco bell
With all those back flips you do how do you take care of your back?
I have more than once. the last was more of a comfort on a bike than damages. I bought a Gold Wing and do not feel as comfortable as I did on my Ultra Classic. I rode it once but maybe not long enough. Thanks for your video
Jon's Moto Garage Yep, with my road glide. Dealer pulled some fast ones. When I arrived to pick it up and they said I owed them another 1000$ cash when they were already paid is when I should’ve walked away.
🐂💩
Never had buyers remorse on any bike but I have had sellers remorse a number of times!
Yes I have started out riding a 1984 honda cb650 nighthawk it was a good bike I still miss that bike there's just something cool about the older 80's bikes then bought 94vfr750 rode it for 5 years sold it for a 2008 vfr800 really wished I held on to both the vfr750 had gear driven cams basically bulletproof
I know the feeling.
Never had buyers remorse always check out my purchase very close, especially with motorcycles. Lots of dirts bikes and street bikes.
Yep. Wish I still had them all!
+1 :)
I got good tips from this. When I sell my HD I will post: "viewing only between 1-3 AM in the alley"
LMAO!
LMAO...........
I'll be pulling in with a construction light that I stole from the construction zone on the way over. ;)
You made a mistake and you still made money. Quit whining in a nice way
100 percent 😢😢
Part of the buy/sell game. Damn
If I'm buying a used bike I'm assuming it's been dropped at some point. I ride all the time with guys who ride all the time. Gravel, rain, grass, car pulling out and having to stop while in a turn, stopping and gravel makes your foot slide out from under you, something is going to happen and you are going to drop your bike. If you have never dropped a bike you probably are not riding enough. Even the best riders have shit happen, and I'm talking guys who are riding side by side club style who ride great. Something will happen if you put miles on the bike.
@@dbrennan1523 not a matter of if but when a rider goes down. I've made it 4 years without a drop and put on quite a bit of miles a year
@@dbrennan1523 That's TRUTH. I've never had anyone trying to sell me a used bike private or dealer who admitted the bike had been down. I'm 58 years old and have been riding since age 8. 4 wrecks. One out of my own misjudgement and three caused by idiots on 4 wheels.
l mortgaged a 1 bedroom in a 4 unit building with no solid inboard wall. After the first week my neighbors moved in l instantly knew where they hung their wide screen television.
A big kudos to Jon for not being too emotional or bitter, and how civilised he can be when he tells his story. Not only is this video a good lesson about inspecting a used motorcycle, but also a lesson on keeping our cool & 'copping it on the chin' when we get the 'short end of the stick' (sorry for too many cliches in that lot). Thumbs up to you Jon!
Thanks for the kind remarks, my dude! 🤜🤛🤙
I’ve had the sellers remorse with a friend who was pestering me to sale a bike that I wasn’t really looking to sale at time and wanted it for himself. We went back and forth for a bit with him trying to convince me and at the end I agree to sale it to him for a much cheaper price then the book value. But to my surprise the guy really pissed me off when he immediately sold the bike for a lot more money then what I had sold it to him for! Near less to say that was the end of my trust for the guy and the friendship with him after I told him that he took advantage of my kindness!
That is what this guy wanted to do, he still made money and had to put up a video?
Just bought me a 2020 road glide about two weeks ago.. i love it
Did ya buy it in a garage with bad lighting?Im sure not! Congrats on your new bike. Ride safe!!
Same here, river Rock gray. I’m glad I got it before they came back to the shitty cable clutch
@@detroitbloodrunsinme8194 same here bro
New to the channel! Middle-aged old man who just got his motorcycle license in October. I've been watching motorcycle videos on TH-cam for months trying to get ready for the riding season. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. You've given me more than a few tips.
Congrats on the license! And thanks for the support and positive vibe! 🤙🏍
@@JonsMotoGarage My honor sir to be here. I bought my first bike after months of preparation and I still want ready. Ask the right questions. Look it over. I shared your situation that I wanted to see it in sunlight but he had issues getting there and he ended up coming after sundown. 😂I feel your pain. You are right though we could've said, I'll come back tomorrow because (11K in your case) is alot to give away on a wife (the motorcycle) you really haven't looked at. We put pressure on ourselves though that this person is begging inconvenienced. However, we should always be our own biggest advocate. Always!!
"Never Look at a Bike at night" - This should be Rule numero uno! I purchased a used honda CB750 (the exact model that the Terminator rode in the first movie) at night and in the morning my excitement ripped out of me at the first glance at all the rust and corrosion damage. I definitely overpaid. It took me several weeks of tearing down the bike and rebuilding/ cleaning it of all rust and damage until I was happy with it. But I can say she was hands down one of my favorite motorcycles I ever owned. I learned a lot from the experience, how to buy a used bike, how to work on Hondas, etc. I sold it for more than I bought it, but still pretty much broke even considering the parts.
He rode a harley fatboy, dummy
@@charlesbroadway6864 terminator 1 the bad terminator rode a 4cyl japanese bike probably a cb750. The good terminator in T2 rode that Fat Boy
We were talking a roadglide and I see all these other bikes in the vid. Very confusing and off subject. This is nuts. Ha!
He sucks
Because you are the only man under 65 that owns and rides a Harley.
Thanks for sharing. My take is a lot of people expect a bike without blemishes when they get a good deal. They’re out there but blemishes should be expected when one gets a good deal.
Great lesson. Thanks for sharing this lesson.
I had buyers Remorse after buying my Bolt. I still got a good deal on it. $4,500 for a 2017 with only 1,700 miles on it. It has a small dent of the tank from a driveway drop. And a small scuff on the headlight on the same side as the dent. It's my first bike, so I was crazy excited about it, and bought it without too much negotiating. After the honeymoon I started doing what everyone does. Shopping for mods. I decided I wanted as small cowl/wind deflector. I went to my bike to check the headlight to measure it for fitment when I noticed that the headlight was slightly off center. Something I should have noticed when I first looked it over. the headlight is just off center enough that I need to replace its mounting bracket just to get it straight again to get the small cowl/wind deflector on it. Now I'm spending more money before I can even spend the money I want to. Seriously bummed me out. Don't get me wrong, I still love my bike.....but I should have caught that and either walked or negotiated a much better price to compensate for the needed repair.
Cool video and a thumbs up. You all be safe out there also.
Bloody hell, how long does it take to whip off the front mudguard and respray it. 🇬🇧
That really sucks. If you have to look after dark always take a bright battery powered light to look things over. It's a good idea to use a portable light during the day also, to look at the darker areas of the engine and trans for oil/coolant leaks and rust. When I was young every used car I bought needed major work within 3 or 4 months after I got it. Never unhappy with any used bike purchase tough.
very informative bro thank you🖤🇦🇺🤙
Thanks for the video man!
Looks like the fender damage was from riding off of a curb. The other damage was from cornering.
When down a big kerb and dropped it.
zimtuff that’s what was thinking. Either a curb drop and the bike fell, or he curbed the fender and dropped the bike some other time.
So you cut a break and still turned a profit. Good for you! Maybe its luck but those of us who watch regular know you have integrity and you stand behind your word. Maybe its Karma or good mojo coming back to you for being a straight up, no BS man ( good to know there's a few of us left 😂)
He had it on a lift unfortunately you missed it . You could have used the imperfections as extra negotiating leverage. Lesson learned no biggie you still made out good in the end.
Remorse on a 2010 heritage, sold bought a 2013 Road Glide Ultra. Happy as shit now. Thanks for the vid Jon
purchased once non-running motorcycle from seller that assured me that its not running because of dirty carbs.... it was a very good deal so I decided to take a chance.... I figured only carb cleaning ... no big deal..... once I was able to start the bike white smoke started coming out of the exhaust... long story short..I ended up tearing the entire engine apart to find cracked piston.... took me several months to rebuild entire engine... I lost money on the bike but the experience first time rebuilding entire engine was priceless.....
By the way... have you ever considered starting a used motorcycle dealership?
Great lesson learned! At one point, I was thinking about getting my license and doing the dealer thing, but I realized that's not what I wanna do long term.
How about a video on specific questions you'd ask when buying a motorcycle? Probably would help some people avoid a situation such as the one you found yourself in with this deal!
Not a bad idea. 👌
Never buy a bike the first time you see it, always walk away and think about it.
So right! And never look at it at night in a dim lit garage. I can't help but feel like he found the buy of his life and was going to make a mint on this bike. Still made a few bucks but should have known better.
Agree. That still won't immune from a bad decision, but at least gives you the chance to weigh the options. Never cave to seller pressure unless it's a 959 Porsche or a well priced home in CA. :)
Early in our marriage we bought a used truck when it was raining. And the guy already had it running when we got there. Lessons learned and total buyers remorse. Fortunately we were able to break even on it. And nice shirt! 😎 👍
👨👩👧 ❤
All the lessons learned are worth something, right!? Hahaha!
@@JonsMotoGarage Absolutely! By the way...when are we going to be able to purch the merch? We want to be sport'n some Jon's Moto Garage threads. 👍
👨👩👧 ❤
Wow, Stevie Wonder would have seen that fender.
Agreed. The seller was actually presenting the bike on the lift to help hide the "high side". If it had been on the kick stand it would have been even harder to miss.
The packers suck. Ha ha ha
Gees your right Stevie would of seen that. Just check stuff out better but I get it u trusted seller first mistake
I took Stevie Wonder out on his first blind date.
? Who's Stevie Wonder?
Agree the buyer is responsible for due diligence. I usually walk in thinking why is the bike being sold? Butt for every seat and circumstance. I have never held a seller in disregard for a bad buy on my part. I had the money and made the decision.
A Lost Aint A Lost Its A Lesson... Appreciate The Pain, It's A Blessing.
When you flip bikes, do you have to pay sales tax? Do your numbers include tax you paid?
Oh I get the intro now; you “flipped” the bike!
Hey, can u do a video on the red bike with white stripes? It’s looks awesome
Been there done that.. sorry to her about it. Do you know what kind of aftermarket crash bars are on the front, I really like them
thanks
Usually when someone takes well under the going value, there’s a reason. I feel you though, I bought a 2017 Super Duke that an obvious blind man messed with the wiring. Found out too late.
When the deal is too good to be true think about it.
I wanted to thank you for all your reviews...they will be helpful if not to me; someone will definitely appreciate it.. What do you ride now; and your favorite bike..
Thanks, brotha! Currently riding a 2000 harley fxdx and suzuki drz400sm.
As many people out there that put fat tires or big skinnys on RGs, put them on air or drop them with stretched bags etc, finding an OEM set of replacement fenders and whatnot would probably be easy to do for a fair price.
my current ride [2007 RG ]had some scrapes underneath from some curb jumping . The rear brake had no fluid in the reservoir . the oil wasnt changed as promised. I bought from a dealership that just closed its doors. Nicest people also. I had regrets but now have had it for 3 years . Its been a blast but i would like to move up to something newer but am worried because of some of the problems the newer harleys have.
I bought a 02 FLSTC in 2019 and I had buyers remorse not because it didn't run good but it had computer crap on it and something just didn't fit me right. I been mounted on Pans and Shovleheads until this 02..I picked up an 01 FLHRCI I liked better but I ended up selling both of them in September 2020 and bought a 98 FLSTF I can work on. it is a one owner bike and is like new with 27k on it. I paid $3.000.00 for it I have it and my 72 FLH and that will do it for me.I am an old dude 67 so I don't need more bikes but my bet is I buy another one in a year or so. I like badket cases I like to wrench as much as I like to ride. I got people hauling bike a 100 miles to have me work on these older bikes since I only charge for parts and what ever they think my work is worth. I am one of the few pan and Flathead garage mechanic around. I don't rebuild motors any more I don't have the tools to do it now no machinery. Harley's love um.
Yeah, he should have disclosed it, but damn thats a steal for that bike. I wouldn’t be complaining that’s for sure!
I would like to add- if its a Harley, get the VIN and have the service history run at a Harley dealer. I bought a 2012 Road Glide, identical to your 2013. It was great for a month. Then i ran across some issues. I checked the service history just to find out the bike had been rear-ended. Everything is straight and repaired. But the money i paid was for a bike in good condition, not with accident history. Definitely run the VIN if you can! That being said, this same bike took my fiancée and I to Myrtle Beach from south central KS and back, without a hiccup. So I'm still happy with it
Love it myself, that guy had full coverage and should've had it repaired
I bet from now on you will inspect the bike in the day time. The guy was pretty slick. Glad you came out of it okay 👍
Was the seller pretty slick, or was the buyer pretty dumb? Maybe a little of both....
I feel for ya. This past summer I bought a boat "like new". It was on a very nice lift "no cracks in the haul ever" well cared for always got the best, ran it hard just short of an hour. Soon as i got it home on a trailer in the sunlight three patches in the glass. Good paint blend but bad patch job lift hide them. First three times out boat got towed back. I called the 1 and only owner and got a lot of oh ya meant to tell you. I was up front honest and paid for it. Spent the rest of the summer getting to know the boat intimately. I will not be that guy when I sell it come spring. Too many bad memories!
Good video , I enjoyed as always , I have a PHD in Hindsight !
Hahaha!
complaining about cosmetics which are generally easy to fix is like complaining about the sun for being to hot. Complain about mechanical stuff engine leaks, electrical but cosmetics are the least of any purchase unless its major
Trying to drill it seems like throwing good money after bad. I would resell or return it if possible. You could probably have the original just welded up for free or cheap, but it might not last long if you keep grinding on it with the pavement 😁
Right, that's the problem. One more tip over and I'll break through a weld. I'll be getting some lower crash bar/sliders to hopefully keep the primary off the ground.
I could have sold you a good looking 12’ road glide with 19” apes braided cables ,412 shocks front and back,heated hand grips and a Rockford fausgate system with speakers in the stretched one touch bags. For 12,000. I’ve bought 19 bikes now and have regrets on all 19. I’m never happy with anything. I’ve had 26 trucks too. But I’ve only hade one wife for 13 years!!!
I ride a 114 rg limited, luv it!
Thanks for posting and sharing that valuable lesson. We've all done similar things which we learn from. Good to learn from each other as well.
Sounds like that Road Glide I bought where the dude said it definitely had an engine, but it really didn't.
Had was the key word
those pointy handlebars look funky
Yeah Jon so...
"Buyers Remorse"
I have always bought and sold vehicles. Earlier on in life I got a 1969 Camaro SS396. Well, within a week after this purchase I did a tranny service (had a small tree's worth of sawdust in the trans!) Then took it to a mechanic with a lift (frame had been cracked and spot welded!)... kept chewing up right front tires. Had it tuned up... it WAS a factory SS396 and still had a 396 in it... FROM a 1969 GMC TRUCK!!!!! Anyway, I'm 53 now, more savy about such things and uhh, yeah, bad experience. I was 19 at the time, pocket full of cash and only wanted to get it home... as well, it had just been painted Hugger Orange/White SS stripes (fell in love with the paint) was in his dimly lit garage AT NIGHT too.... went back a couple of weeks later to ask him about these thing(s)... FOR RENT sign in front yard, vacant. Vacant... just like my young bank account now was. 😳
Life lessons, I suppose. 🤦♂️Thanks for watching and commenting!
that was a great deal even with the damage.
I have owned 2 HDs and one Buell. I had buyer's remorse on all three. Should have learned my lesson on the first one.
I bought a mechanic owned 2011 dyna wide glide and got burned straight up, lost like a thousand bucks just to get out from under it before it needed a full rebuild, only had 14k miles it must’ve been rode hard
Question.. Opinion Buyers Remorse. We bought a motorcycle from a dealership last year for my girlfriend. We looked over the bike 2009 Yamaha Stratoliner 1900cc. We gave it a test drive the maintenance records by the original owner was amazing. My girlfriend is short so we paid to have the rear of the bike lowered before we took posession of the bike. They explained that it We had taken several pictures when we purchased it. Upon taking possession of the bike we drove it home 4 hrs away. (They explained that they needed to use a chain on the rear fender to lower the bike) Wiping the bike down after the first ride we discovered two indents on both sides of the fender. My girlfriend called the dealer who sold us the bike. We sent pictures and he agreed that the service department had damaged the bike and they would repair it. (All text messages) We only needed to decide if we had it repaired now or after the riding season. We agreed to after. We returned the bike last month and last week they asked for all the pictures and text messages. We did and they agreed to fix the fender. A few days later they call and say they cannot or will not fux the damage... what would you do? Or your advice....
RJ Saldana go to small claims court
That’s a big miss on the right of the HD ROADGLIDE! Always look at the bottom of the bike specially on the HD.
Starting to rly like the Road Glide,saw a few on sale haha if I only had the money
Gonna watch this vid when I wake up,stayed up all night again,6am when I post this
Btw I just saw the new Extraction film with Chris Hemsworth and wow it is super good, recomand to check it out
Oh that was an Electra Glide what I saw but it's kinda the same thing right
Aight nice well u still made some money
@@Paul20661 I had a 2014 Ultra Limited, and now own a 2018 Road Glide Ultra, and I much prefer the Road Glide. The Road Glide has vents in the fairing that can be opened and closed. And it also has 2 nice storage pockets in the fairing. What's the point of a fairing with no storage like the batwings? And for me, the Road Glide delivers smoother air to the rider. I put the tallest shield I could still see over on my Ultra Limited as the head buffeting drove me nuts.
WOW i feel like you just witnesssed my last 24hrs
1.) im a total moto noob and this was my first purchase
2.)was told the bike was a yamaha 1100 after running vin turns out its a 650
3.) i was too hard up to get a bike especially for 300 bucks (which should have been a red flag)
4.)i miss the part in my states law where yuou cant do your own repairs to salvage a bike
but wait theres more bike doesnt run has no papers and also no keys dude says it was in a storage unit he bought at an auction
yes im a total bone head but when you just wanna ride yknow
the only take away i can say is positive is atleast i can use it as a kadavar to study moto anatomy
Wait wait wait, you went to inspect something at night, and didnt bring a flashlight? 🤣
the dark enviorment and
the dark "Grey Matt" paint color is probly why you missed it . But at least you made it through and it's a lesson learned . 😥
I feel ya on that......I bought a gsxr in 1999...and it was a 97 srad.....didn't notice it had been smashed badly in the front till I bought a upgraded windscreen......I was taking off the old one and looked down behind the faring and seen super glue on the ram air housings.......then I took it all apart and noticed busted metal screws missing n shit.......but not a scratch on the bike........so you can definitely hide shit.......I learnt from that.....if I ever buy another sport bike ....... inspector gadjet behind the faring's
I always had sellers remorse. Out of six HD l owned l wasnt overly happy with one. The dealer took it back and offered me my choice of softail or dyna
Harleys are actually very dependable from my observation and experience
you want some cheese to go with all that wine ?
It really sucks that you can’t just take people‘s word for it any more.to me word is bond . Sounds like that guy was a liar & a thief .boo liars . I’ve been there many times so I feel your pain .great video bro thank you
Yeah i bought my 08 rk classic anniversary recently , cosmetic is fine , but the seller using v&h loud pipes on it so i kinda dont really notice with the engine sound , lucky he gave me standart exhaust & when i put them on to inspect the engine running sounds , turned out the compensator , starter clutch making horrible clunking sounds when it start , stop. Bought all the parts & replaced it my self otherwise it'll cost me lotta $$$$ if i took it to dealership / any garages.
I bought a real clean low milage one owner 02 FLSTC. I also bought a wrecked 01 FLHRCI road king. I never worked on a twin cam before I am an old panhead shovelhead guy and I regret buying these twin cams they are not made to be worked on by an old back yard mechanic like me. I sold the road king and may sell the 02. I plan to track down a good Evolution I can work on. I still have my 1972 FLH.
Yes I have last winter with a snowmobile it was a great deal but had a oil leak under the oil tank so I called a arctic cat dealer and it was covered under warranty lucky me but as you know it was a low snow year and nobody was buying 1year old used sledds well here in new England you wait till October that is 6 monthes away
It’s really cool how you “animate” the story from previous clips... it’s like watch a movie... awesome
1 Massive remorse I bought a Slim test rode it, the works. It was a dealer demo and thought yep I like it. Biggest mistake. From day 1 I hated it, it felt top heavy and wobbly at the stop lights. Just not for me. Luckily I found a demo Deluxe in another state 1 year old and did an exchange. Still cost me 1k. But from that point I only eve bought a Deluxe. So in the the end the 1k is forgotten with the pleasures of the Deluxe bikes I've owned. Big pity they are now canned.
My last two bikes were a Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Classic which I loved and it road great but was a dog at low speed with the wife on back and currently a VTX 1800S and it's a dream compared to the Vulcan but I'll be looking for another next year and am thinking of a Harley. Nope, not because it's cooler or I think it will be a better more comfortable cruiser, but because every old big belly guy that doesn't have enough lung power to walk to their mailbox drives those Road Kings like it's nothing. They must be the most controllable cruiser at all speeds, especially slow. That makes me question how someone could damage that bike you bought, unless they were stoned out of their mind?
Love my M8 Roadglide. One Big issue, it uses more oil than my AMF Shovelhead did. Never again buy a new Harley
id be payin ol boy another visit
Physically that bike is okay. I would have removed that front fender and simply fixed that corner area. The underside of saddle box scrape just needed touch up with a painters artist brush. You never mentioned the mileage on the bike, which matters. But you stated it had a trade in value of 13 k, so you being a buyer you actually got this harley for a good good price!
v, Informative thanks...
Negotiate a price before you looked at it? Bahahahaha!!!
Always my 1st question ...any damage or was it ever dropped .
I bought my first Harley through the internet at a dealership, I don't have buyers remorse but I know I could have gotten a better deal now. I didn't take someone with me that knows about this type of bike and thats 1on me. No matter what your getting into education does cost you when you don't know, so I'll do more research on the next one.
Thanks for sharing your mistake.
Myself being in the collision trade forever, that would have been an easy fix up. Then get top bucks.
Regret buying a 1200 Sportster only because a bit cumbersome on a freeway, but top notch around town.
You got a good price because he knew about the blemishes. I would have made that deal with blemishes for that price.
I lost 7k on a Moto Guzzi a few years ago. Bought it new, added a bunch of sweat stuff. Put it up for sale and no one would even look at it. Bargain hunters look for used Guzzi's as the market is about zero.
yes thanks for being truthful
Yeah, currently in possession of a chopper I'm going to lose money on... Should have listened to my gut and bought a different one. I misjudged the pricing and what the market was selling them for.
Still a beauty
I bought a 2015 Honda goldwing f6b from a friend who paid 12,000 and put about another 2,000 in upgrades on the bike. He sold it to me for 10,000 and he asked me if I wanted to sell it back to him . He has buyers remorse. Closes I've come to buyers remorse.
Hey john! This bike is for sale right now!
Buyer beware, oldest saying in the trade. You miss something that's on the buyer, you shouldn't just trust a seller to be completely honest.
Welcome to the world of buying and selling vehicles..... live and learn
I guess the how much and how fast questions on a bike can come down to location and climate as much as anything else. I have an 05' Harley Night Train in good condition with 16k miles I've been trying to sell for months now. I've even dropped the price 3 times, finally settling at $6,500, and it still won't sell. It may have something to do with the fact that I live in Florida and if it isn't 115 degrees outside in the shade then there's a monsoon happening. And really that's why I'm selling the bike to be honest. In 365 days, there's probably 15 that make for good riding weather. So for me, it's totally not worth the monthly payment for that short thrill. The last 4 bike rallies at my local Harley dealer have either been rained out or canceled due to weather events. I had the chance to visit SoCal a few months back for the first time in my life and I was absolutely amazed at how perfect the weather was and how many motorcyclists were on the road.
You have to bring a friend with you when you buy something like that. You missed an obvious blemish that a friend, may have helped you find. Also you get excited when you purchase something that you like and want. He can be more objective than you can be. But at the end of the day you did not lose money!!
I bought a 2001 FLHRCI Road King and a 2002 FLSTC and I regret buying these twin cams I should have looked for a good Evo I can work on without a bank of computers. I sold the Road kimg and am looking for an Evo Road king. I kept the 02 FLSTC becaue it only has 28 K on it and it looks new and my 1972 FLH police special that I will have until I die.
I couldn't wait to buy a brand-new harley couldn't afford one until i was 50 and bought a streetglide and it was a lemon so i traded that in for a roadglide and got another lemon
Necesito tu consejo. Tengo la oportunidad de comprar a buen precio una roadking 2008 con 42 mil millas. Motor 96. Soy de chile y comprar una moto nueva es muy muy caro. Esta moto es una buena alternativa . Vale pena arriesgarse por una moto de esas características?
Never look at a bike or a car at night or in the rain / lesson 1. My suggestion, always hand wash a used bike before you buy it. You will see everything. If the seller won’t let you check it that close, buyer beware.
