Before you buy a used Lexmoto motorcycle, you should do your research to ensure that you’re getting the right bike for your needs. Read reviews online and talk to friends who have ridden a Lexmoto to get their opinions. Research the different models and look at their features, performance, safety ratings, and more - this will help you decide which model is best for your needs.
Set a budget
It's important to set a budget when buying any vehicle, especially when buying a used motorcycle. Consider how much money you can afford to spend on the bike and use that as your starting point when shopping around. This will help narrow down your search and save time by ruling out options that are outside of what you can afford.
Inspect the bike
It is absolutely essential that you inspect the bike before making any purchase! Check for signs of damage or wear-and-tear from previous owners; make sure all fluids are topped up; check all electrical components; check brakes, tires, suspension system etc.; make sure battery is fully charged and working; take note of any modifications that have been made to the bike (if any).
Get an independent mechanic’s opinion
If possible, get an independent mechanic’s opinion on the condition of the used motorcycle before committing to a purchase. Ask them if they think it would be worth investing in or if there are any areas of concern that need further inspection/repair before buying.
Take a test ride
After inspecting the bike and getting an independent mechanic’s opinion it’s important to take it out for a test ride! Make sure everything feels good while riding it - brakes work correctly, shifts smoothly etc., give acceleration tests, try cornering etc., so that you know what kind of condition it is in before committing to buy it.
Obtain documents/proof of ownership
Ensure that all documents related to ownership are obtained (such as title deeds). Make sure all paperwork matches up with the information provided by the seller (such as name & address etc.)
Obtain proof of insurance & registration
Ensure that all necessary insurance documentation has been obtained from the seller along with proof of registration (if applicable). Insurance will cover you in case anything happens during ownership & registration will allow you legally ride on public roads in the UK - both these documents must be obtained prior to purchase!
Negotiate price & finalise the deal
Once everything has been checked off this list and both parties are satisfied with conditions agreed upon by buyer & seller then negotiate on price accordingly & finalise the deal (if possible).
