Inspection & negotiation
The buying assistant you take to every bike
Two moments decide whether a used purchase was a good one: what you notice at the viewing, and what you say about the price. You shouldn't have to improvise either.

Ask to see the 2024 service invoice
Based on what the seller said
Two findings are worth a second opinion — a professional inspection is recommended before you buy.
Four kinds of checks, in one list
A generic checklist misses what matters on a specific bike. The inspection combines four sources into the order you should actually work through.
Every motorcycle
Cold engine, VIN and documents, crash points, tires, chain, brakes, fork seals, leaks, warning lights.
This category
A supersport, an adventure bike and a scooter hide their wear in completely different places.

This seller's claims
They said the service was done in 2024. The inspection reminds you to ask for the invoice.
Negotiation
Numbers before you arrive, not after
Fair value from comparable listings, plus what the bike will cost you in the coming months, turned into three numbers you decide on while you're still calm.
- An opening offer that's ambitious without being insulting
- A target range, and a walk-away price you set in advance
- The reasoning: tire age, upcoming service, market comparables, inspection findings
- A ready-to-send message and three talking points for the conversation in person

- Near-term costs included, so a "cheap" bike doesn't fool anyone
- We show what you negotiated, not a claim that we did it for you
- Your purchase history stays with the bike in My Garage

Questions
About inspection and negotiation
Does this replace a professional inspection?
No, and it says so when it matters. It's a guide for your own inspection, and when something looks risky it tells you to get a professional inspection before you buy.
Where does the fair value come from?
From comparable listings, the specific bike's condition, its history and its known upcoming costs. You see the range and what it's based on, not a single magic number.
Do you negotiate for me?
No. You negotiate — it's your money and your conversation. You get the numbers, the arguments and a message you can send as it is or rewrite.
