How to Buy a Used Motorcycle: A Detailed Checklist
Motorbikes are undoubtedly some of the easiest and fastest modes of transportation, especially in a heavy-traffic city. While the popularity is ever-growing, a brand-new motorcycle isn’t always affordable for many. That’s where the large used motorcycle market comes up. An informed purchase of a second-hand motorcycle would get a great bike at a steal of a deal. Here’s a checklist to consider before buying a used motorcycle.
11 Things to Consider Before Buying a Secondhand Motorbike
Know Your Bike
If you’re in the market for a second-hand bike, you should first know what bike you’re planning to buy. There are several types of bikes ranging from sports, naked, cruiser, café racer, bobber, scrambler, commuter, and many more. The overall budget, cc limit, and rideability grossly differ from type to type. So first decide which type of bike you want to buy and do in-depth research.
The best approach would be to select the model and then study the details. If possible, check out a brand-new one first for easy comparison.

Mileage and Age
The second thing to consider is the mileage and age of the bike. Once you decide on a model, you will get a reference point of when the bike was released and how long it has been on the market. Check the mileage on the counter to assess how long it has been ridden.
However, it is important to note that the mileage counter can be easily tweaked so it isn’t always a reliable indicator of a bike’s condition. But there are other tell-tale signs when it comes to general wear and tear of a bike.
Damage and Repair History
Whether you are buying the bike from a person or a dealership, always check for damage reports and repair history. Typically, every servicing of the bike will have a detailed report. These reports are an effective way to understand which parts have been serviced and changed. As a rule of thumb, it is better to avoid bikes with major parts replacement or after-market installations.

Tires
The tires are another great indicator of how much the bike has been ridden. We already mentioned that the mileage meter can be easily manipulated, but the wear and tear on the tire can give an estimation of the mileage.
Get a picture of a brand-new tire for your model to compare. Check the middle grooves of the tire. A bike with over 10K km on it will have reduced grooves. So if you see a bike with a 5K mileage and worn-out grooves, know that something’s not right.
Now you might ask, what if the tires are changed? Well in that case check the tire and rim joint. A changed or aftermarket tire will leave a noticeable gap to easily understand that it has been replaced.

Remove rickety buses from Dhaka streets, says Jatri Kallyan Samiti
Bangladesh Jatri Kalyan Samiti (BJKS), a passengers' welfare platform, on Saturday (January 20, 2024) demanded the government introduce 5,000 new high-quality buses on the streets under a company with the government's management by removing existing rickety vehicles from the capital.
Secretary General of the BJKS Md. Mozammel Haque Chowdhury raised the demand in a press conference organised at the city's Dhaka Reporters Unity on Saturday morning.
In a written statement, he said that the current government has pledged that the country will join the ranks of developed countries by 2026.
The government is determined to improve the public transport system in Dhaka and elsewhere.
Quoting a JICA survey, the BJKS's secretary general said that there are currently 4 crore daily passenger trips in the capital.
Consumer protection a top priority at DITF: Commerce State Minister
There is a huge scope for transport business, and the transportation system of the city can be changed overnight through bus service if only extortion is stopped and dedicated bus lanes can be introduced, he said.
There are examples of owning 600-800 buses of many transport companies in Bangladesh after they started plying on the streets with one bus.
However, the state transport agency BRTC is not able to operate buses under its own management and is leasing them out to private individuals and institutions. The number of these buses is decreasing due to lack of maintenance, he added.
Dutch NGOs reaffirm interests in Bangladesh
He urged the government, instead of bureaucracy in the management of BRTC, if BRTC can be managed by appointing managers with technical knowledge and experience in managing bus companies from the international market. it will play a major role in the passenger transport sector besides making BRTC profitable, he said.
The BJKS said that due to incompetence of leadership, inefficiency of management, lack of proper monitoring and monopolistic dominance of political contractors, corruption is going on.
The new government has made political commitment to establish good governance in these sectors.
”We want to see the reflection of this commitment of the government by ensuring quality and accountability in every project involving road, rail, sea and air,” he added.

Safety Features

These certifications ensure that the helmet has undergone rigorous testing for safety.

It is also recommended to pick a motorcycle helmet that offers robust safety features such as a sturdy shell made from durable materials like fiberglass, polycarbonate, or carbon fiber. These materials offer excellent impact resistance. Additionally, helmets with an inner liner made of EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) foam are designed to absorb and disperse impact energy, minimizing the risk of head injuries.
Fit and Comfort
Motorbike helmets come in different sizes and shapes to accommodate various head shapes and sizes. Therefore, the rider needs to find the helmet of the right size and shape before purchasing. The rider can measure his or her head circumference accurately and try on helmets to find the best fit.
It is also advised to choose helmets featuring removable and washable padding, as it ensures freshness and hygiene. The padding should provide a snug yet comfortable fit around the cheeks and head.

Visibility and Shield

The rider needs to consider his or her riding conditions and preferences to select the most suitable visor type. Anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings on the visor enhance visibility and ensure a clear line of sight in various weather conditions.
If the rider frequently rides in bright sunlight, motorcycle helmets with tinted shields or built-in sun visors can provide added protection against glare and harmful UV rays.

Buying a used car? These are the things to look for
Considering the high daily cost and inadequate public transport, buying a second-hand car is a rational and cost-effective option for many working professionals.
The used car market is a large and diverse one. Globally more used cars are sold compared to brand-new ones. Despite the high sales volume in the used car market, potential buyers may end up wasting their hard-earned money if they fail to pick the right car. It's necessary to ensure that the purchased car is in good and road-safe condition. To that end, here’s a checklist to consider before investing money in a second-hand car.
Why should you thoroughly check before buying a second-hand car?
There are a lot of reasons why you should prepare and go through a checklist before buying a second-hand car. Here are a few reasons.
Safety
The first is safety. Safety is the top priority of any car owner as nobody wants to be at risk riding their car. Checking for the vehicle history and performance can ensure whether the car would run reliably and safely for the new owner.

Cost
There is always the risk of getting duped with used cars. It might be some internal issue or the engine issue which is not apparent from the outside. These issues may not show up at the start, rather the signs start showing after a few hundred kms.
Without a proper inspection, a potential buyer might end up spending more on repair and maintenance in the long run.
Legal Issues
Another reason to check a second-hand car is for its usage history. The potential car might be stolen or it might have an outstanding loan against it. In any case, as the new owner, the buyer can be held responsible for any legal issue with the car.
Peace of Mind
Lastly, buying a second-hand car is always a stressful ordeal. Checking the car before buying not only minimizes the risk of getting scammed, but it also brings peace of mind for the new owner.

Checklist for buying used car
Vehicle History
The first and foremost thing to check is the history of the vehicle. Every car has a usage history that outlines damage and accident reports. Even if there is no explicit mention of accidents, look for repaired damage signs. It is much easier to spot external damages like panel gaps or paint overspray.
But if the car has internal damage like the ones created by floods or natural disasters, it might be very difficult to assess the damage. The potential buyer can take the help of a mechanic to check for water damage as it might not show upfront but it may create an issue in the long run.
Physical Inspection
Physical inspections are best done with the help of a car expert or a mechanic. There are two steps to physical inspection – internal and external.
The external inspections include checking for any kind of external damage. It is recommended to look for dents, scratches, rusts, and signs of previous repair.

Before buying a second-hand car, the potential buyer needs to conduct an internal inspection carefully.
- The seats, carpets, dashboard, and other places inside the car should be checked for any signs of wear and tear.
- The air conditioning system should not be left unchecked. The same inspection process is needed for the wipers, lights, and the heating system.
- The door hinges should be checked, like whether they close smoothly or not.
