a used smaller performance bike, ok, let's use a few guidelines. -pay close attention to scratches, every scratch on the outside of the bike is a result of reckless and tough driving by the operator. - check the oil, if the nimrod wasn't smart enough to change it right before he sold it, did he ever do any maintenance? -check the tire and the chain, I test drove a bike (once) that had a beat up tire and a rusty chain. Had the owner put a new chain and tire on it (total cost of $200) could have sold the bike easily and quickly.
