  You made a very good point. Aesthetics is important. I bought a 2007 CBR600RR back in 2016 for my birthday. It had 21700 km&apos;s on the clock (which isn&apos;t low, but decent) but the fairings had bad scratches on both sides. Problem was it was love at first sight... so all I kept on thinking about was I could always go buy some after market fairings and the bike will be good again. Oh how wrong I was.<br><br>3 months after purchasing the bike the engine blew up. I was lucky enough to find a good 2nd hand engine for R12k. 2 years later and it&apos;s still going strong. Moral of the story is, if the bike looks all scratched up then maybe you should walk away.<br><br>Great video as always.

  Another good thing to look out for is the rear tyre. Has the guy been doing burn outs and abusing the bike?

  Watch out for another hidden cost: brake pads and discs condition

  Definitely want to see a cold start when you get there. If it’s already warm when I get there and he claims he ain’t started it yet. Alarm bells go off

  chack the oil fill plug if it has white sluge on. if it has it may be a sign of a head gasket. check the coolant if you see any oil in it.

  Checking tires&apos; pressure and oil condition is easy to do and reveal a lot regarding the care the bike has had. Same goes for rim condition (look out for cracks or loose sprockets) and brake pads, lines. Cheers.
