While we do not sell bikes, we do offer a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection to help you determine the value of the motorcycle you are thinking of buying.

To have a list of everything the potential future bike will need is also very useful in the bargaining process.

We do offer this as a same-day-turn-around service to accomodate the buyer and seller. Anybody that is selling a bike should be open to this option unless they have something to hide.

To make an appointment please call at 415-552-8115 the day before if possible, although we sometimes might be able to squeeze you in on a same day notice, if the work load permits.

Below is a sample of what our pre-purchase inspection sheet looks like:
