2.) Check for service record of the bike. Most bikes wont have full service record, but if owner is like me, he will sure have bills of every service of the bike. Such bikes are worth paying extra premium as you can be sure that you are getting a bike that was fully taken care of.

3.) Stay away from bank ceased bikes, they may come cheaper, but the previous owner may create problems during transfer.

4.) Take a good mechanic with you and do full inspection of the bike. Before paying the amount, take it to a Authorized service center and get it fully checked.
