The question is vague, but if you are asking the questions to a seller of the bike, then use these:

1. Did you buy the bike new?

2. How long have you had your license?

3. Have you ever dropped it?

4. Are you good at stunning bikes, and doing tricks?

5. In terms of maintenance, what schedule have you followed and for what aspects of the maintenance? Who performs the maintenance?

6. Where do you store the bike?

7. So... why are you selling the bike?

8. is it stolen?

9. does it work?

10. will it break when i leave?

11. can you take a photo of me on the bike to see how i look?

MotoGP bikes are a one-of-a-kind prototype in which every part is custom made. It's nearly impossible to put a value on a GP motorcycle - though one way to get an idea is to take a look at what it would cost to lease one from a manufacturer: it is in the neighborhood of $3 million a year. The lease price is around the actual value. They are made in single-digit numbers, and the development costs run in the tens of millions of dollars, so a round figure of $2-3 million would be a fair appraisal. The complexity of a Moto GP bike is truly staggering. Many of the bikes have TWO crankshafts to make them gyroscopically neutral. Most also have GPS data of every last square inch of every last track on the schedule, as well as the camber/slope of each corner, so that the onboard computer can apportion just the right amount of engine power to the rear wheel for where the bike is on the track/how hard or soft the tire is/how much grip is available, etc. By understanding this, it is EASY to see how these incredible machines can each be worth $3 million dollars.

It is my Opinion that Anyone starting out on a Motorcycle should Buy a used OnRoad / Offroad Bike 175 to 250 cc Then Both Terrain and Road can Be experienced. Fun Fun Fun. The Bikes are generally light and easy to handle. The Offroad Terrain prepares the Rider somewhat for unexpected circumstances on the Road. The first answer is good, but may not work for everyone. I agree that an individual should begin with a used bike. Depending on the size of the person riding different bikes provide good experience. If you know you will be only using the bikes off road, then I would recommend a Honda XR200 for a smaller person. If you are tall, the Kawasaki KDX 200 is an excellent bike. Dual Sport (Both licensed for street and dirt) have become more popular and may be difficult to find something in a size that works well for you. Also, a Dual Sport bike will most likely be heavier than a pure dirt bike. Weight is important when riding in the dirt. The lighter the bike, the better. 120 isn't a whole lot. If it's a motocross bike get 80 two stroke. Enduro or dual sport- 125 four stroke. Don't assume that bigger and more powerful is better. If you get a bike that has to much power you will simply be UNABLE to ride it.

Most states have a "quick title" or otherwise known as abandoned vehicle title service through the vehicle registration department in your state. They should be able to advise you. Another way to find out is to call a salvage yard and see hoe they title abandoned vehicles. You can use a lean-sale company to initiate a lean on the bike in lieu of theoretical storage fees. When the bike defaults the lean it is issued a new title in the lien holder's name (you.) For expensive bikes it takes about 3 months. For less expensive bikes it takes about a month. The lien sale company charges about $75-$100. You can also initiate the lien yourself but the process is a little more difficult. The waiting period is to see if the actual owner of the property steps up and claims the bike, or contests the lien. They send notification to the address on the last title holder. If the bike has been out of the system for more than 5 years (California), registration information is dumped,k but they should still have the title holder on record. You still have to go through the lien sale process even if the bike is not registered with the state.

You will need to pay off the lien first, or arrange with the lienholder to be able to make a sale.

Yes its true it does. There are many reasons but oil get thinner with heat and will rush past any gaps. Usually the main end bearing is to blame. However Does the low oil pressure lamp come on? (7PSI). In most cases the oil pressure is +60PSI when cold and idle. However when hot most late BSA's show about 10PSI at idle. You're good to keep riding but if the lamp comes on at high revs stop! Check oil for metal fragments. Fragements are bad. Good luck and check www.britbike.com for more on this wonderful subject. Yes its true it does.

Value is highly dependent upon condition. Email me offline for more info. mshoger@sterlingfederal.com

Usually alot more than people will offer you,if they think you are uninformed and they can get something for way below market value.Since production of engine cases cast from a sand mold are expensive,labor intensive,not to mention a new mold is required for each one.Production numbers are very low,since the company is using this method,so they do not have to invest in expensive engine tooling for a model that may not sell that well and be discontinued. The first year Honda CB 750 used this method,and since this model was a hit and went on to be produced for many years,the engines went into high production.These first year bikeshave become very desireable and have continued to escalate in price,as Japenese motorcycles have become the dominate segment in the motorcycle collecters market over the last 15 to 20 years.Higher prices will be paid by serious collectors in Japan,that desire models that were produced in Japan and only sold in the U.S.---even odd parts are wanted as the supply of N.O.S parts disappear from dealerships and warehouses. Condition is important,but collectors will go to great lengths to restore poor examples.Reaserch,e-bay,and enjoy profits.!!! The ToeCutter

Off road motorcycles do not have keys. Enduro (dual sport) and street motorcycles have keys. Older BMW motorcycles have a "key" but it is not unique to the individual motorcycle. That is, a BMW key will start any old BMW motorcycle. yes motorcycles have keys

You can refer to the KBB or NADA guides for the average mileage on the bike you're looking at. Here's a hint from Mark Olson reprinted in Timberwoof's Motorcycle FAQ: "Don't go for the really low mileage bikes either. They'll probably need work too, from sitting and rotting."

If your talking about the Honda VLH (I think that's the line) the 1800will have more power for sure. But cost $3 grand more. I under standthe is a much cheaper motor cause it's lower end(crankshaft) viberatesmuch more. Some thing about 90 degrees crank instead of a 180 ofset crankon the 1800cc/\. Anyway you should test both before buying and see if thesmoothness and extra power is worth buying th vlh 1800.

good luck, hope this helps, Ben Parker,San Jose,Ca.

Here's an answer to "So how do I make sure that this used bike I'm buying is legit?" as summarized by Nicholas C. Weaver in Timberwoof's Motorcycle FAQ: * Go down, inspect bike, inspect title. Record VIN, plate, engine #. * Record/photocopy buyer?s driver?s liscence. * Call police autotheft dept on cellphone. Phone in VIN, plate, engine serial number. They will be able to tell if its stolen, and should be able to say if it is salvage. Likewise, ask if they can verify driver's licence number/name/address association. They might not, but they might. * Pay for bike with a cashier's check. (It is unlikely the seller would accept one, however, due to all the counterfeit ones out there.)

The above is an good first step. You want to ensure that the bike is in good working order. If you are not mechanical take it to a motorcycle repair shop and pay for them to look it over. If you are mechanical, you want to look in the gas take and see if there is rust, check the level of the oil and see if there is moisture in the oil. See if the bike appears to have been wrecked or dropped. Look at the pipes for scratches, paint chips, dents, etc. Look at the condition of the chain, is it dry. Look at the sprockets both the front and rear of the bike. If the teeth are not even, it will need new ones soon. Give it a general once over.

A Certificate of Destruction is when the a salvage yard has sent a car to the crusher and before it is crushed he must have the Vehicle ID number check to make sure he has title to destroy the car for scrap metal. Salvaged Title is when a Insurance Title company has deemed a car damaged in a accident i.e. crash,natural diaster,stolen stripped, to repair this car exceeds the cost of the car. So the Insurance company pays-off the owner of the car then sells the car to salvage yard but they put a Salvage Title on the Vin as to make sure if this vehicle is return back in to service the new owner knows that it was deemed totalled. Also so the insurance companies will know if it ever is asked to be insured again they will insure at a lower replacement cost.
