How to Buy a Motorcycle?

In the same price range, you can choose from several brands and several models. Before buying a motorcycle, you need to have a motorcycle driver's license. Without a motorcycle driver's license, riding on the road can easily result in the vehicle being impounded by traffic police and incurring a certain fine.

Buying a motorcycle can be both simple and complicated. My first bike was a used street bike, and I had to circle the used bike market three times before daring to make a purchase. For beginners, it's advisable to first clarify your budget and intended use—scooters are the most hassle-free for commuting, while sport bikes or ADVs are better for fun. Online, you can scout for listings on platforms like Xianyu or motorcycle apps, while offline shops allow you to test the seat height in person. Here’s the key: always check if the frame number and engine number match, and ask the seller to show the vehicle license and insurance records. Before transferring ownership, it’s best to pay for a third-party inspection of the chassis and electrical systems—don’t be fooled by aftermarket exhaust sounds. For helmets and gear, it’s recommended to buy in-store so you can adjust or exchange sizes on the spot.
