Is it possible to get a bike inspected before a purchase?


i know u can do it witha car so i assume its the same with bikes, and would it be your local bike shop mechanic that looks it over and test drives it.

i may buy a bike before i learn to ride ( cant countersteer yet) but i do have my learners permit

and whats the fee, canada bc

yes it is and most motorcycle shops will gladly look over a bike for you just call around to your local shops

yes you can have a mechanic look it over. it's really the sellers choice to allow it.

As far as counter steering. it's a natural body reflex. it's not something you can learn or understand. It's the same as trying to understand why you squint when it's sunny or why you swing your arms when you walk. trying to understand it only distracts you from focussing on other important riding habits.

When you lean into a turn, gravity will want to turn the front wheel more than what you need so you instinctively push the bars in the opposite direction just enough to counter the natural forces of gravity.

The only way to learn it is to do it. it's the same on a bicycle. if you go down a hill really fast and go into a turn, you countersteer without even knowing it.

" Learners Permit " ?

Thats funny, you said you have a GSX-R 600 that you bought from Canada !!

I think you have been found out as a lier mate.

Yes, you can. It's always a good idea, too.
