Gravel Hound Used Adventure Bike Inspection Checklist

Don't Buy Someone Else's Problems!

Inspect smarter. Buy with confidence.

Thinking about buying a used adventure motorcycle?

Before handing over your hard-earned money, make sure you know what you're getting.

A motorcycle might look fantastic in the photographs, but hidden damage, neglected servicing and worn components can quickly turn a bargain into an expensive mistake.

The Gravel Hound Used Adventure Bike Inspection Checklist is a practical, easy-to-follow inspection tool designed to help you assess a motorcycle before making that all-important buying decision.

Created using decades of real-world motorcycle riding, ownership and mechanical experience, this checklist helps you look beyond the shiny paintwork.

What does the checklist cover?

• Pre-purchase research and preparation
• Engine, clutch and gearbox condition
• Wheels, tyres, brakes and suspension
• Accident damage and previous repairs
• Electrical systems and accessories
• Paperwork and service history
• Test ride observations
• Potential repairs and the true purchase price
• Your final decision — Buy, Negotiate or Walk Away

Designed for real-world use

Simply print the checklist and take it with you when viewing a motorcycle.

Use the tick boxes to work through the inspection, record potential problems and make notes about anything that needs further investigation.

It's particularly useful when comparing several motorcycles, helping you remember the good points, the bad points and those little warning signs that are easily forgotten.
