I'm taking my CBT shortly to grab myself a little 125 for commuting. That bit's easy; turn up, pootle around, they go 'omfg penski! how did you get to be so leet?! please pleasure our teenage daughters!!!1onetwoeleventyfive' and I get passed.
But - I've never bought a bike before. I know what I'm looking at with cars...What do I need to look at on a prospective bike?
Budget isn't extortionate...in fact it's minimal - I'd rather spend the money on something with four wheels .
On Ebay a few miles away from me for a hunner't quid. 2003 bike, 6 months' tax on it. Insurance would be £305 (Bennets - just did a quick quote). Bargainous?
Anyhoo - what should I check if I go look at it?
Cheers,
