Check the current price of the bike, that you are willing to buy. It will give you an idea about how much an old bike should cost you otherwise you might end up paying more than the actual value of the bike.
Check the condition of the bike. Whether it is working condition or not. This is the most important factor when you are buying a bike. If there are any major signs of damage, then do not make a purchase.
Take a test drive to see it is upto your expectations or not. Check the status of headlights, indicators, side view mirrors, whether they work or need to be repaired.
If the tyres have been in use from a long time, then there is a good chance that they have lost the grip which can lead to accidents while driving on wet roads. In that case, you should consider replacing them with new ones.
Get to know when was the bike last taken to the service center. In my opinion, bikes should be serviced every 6 months to keep them in a good working condition.
Finally, lets talk about deal. Make a deal only after verifying the identity of the seller. Now a days, people often put up ads for theft items on Online platforms. So, Be aware. If the seller doesnt have bill, and Registration/POC, then do not make a purchase.
To buy a second Hand bike, you can use websites like Olx, and Quikr. Or just do a google search for it.
Please do not make any advance payments, while buying something from these sites. Do so at your own risk.
