how is the price related to the mileage and age of the bike? i mean, more mileage cheaper supposedly, but how would that be with an older bike but really low mileage? lets just say that the condition of the bike is ok (ie: looks ok, feels and runs ok, but unless the 'inside' is fully checked...

hello peeps, i figured newbies (like me) in motorcycling (or any other vehicles) are wondering what does certifying a bike entails? besides the common generic answer of 'to ensure that the bike is safe for the road/to be ridden.' could we provide details as to what is done and what the...

Thanks to everyone who put in their input. i have given it much thought and at this point i decided to get a car. but, if all works well, and if i get a good bonus from work end of fiscal year (april), then the motrocycle is back on track. :) if no bonus then that's a different thread...
