I would not buy a motorcycle w/o riding it. Case in point: in the 90's when I had this crazy idea that I might get on a bike again, I found a Honda dirt bike for really cheap, like just take it cheap. Less than what it could be parted for by a good margin. I can't tell you the model, it was that long ago.

Anyway, it did need quite a bit of work to get it serviced and running and when I did get it running I rode the thing down the alley and back and it was off balance. I thought WTF? I had a bicycle that wouldn't track straight if you let go of the handlebars. I had to lean over to one side. It was tweaked. Got rid off that in a hurry.

Seems like the same thing was going on with the MC. I took one more lap down the alley to be sure and got off. It too was tweaked but I couldn't see it even after a major cleanup and going over.

I called a charity to come pick it up. I could not sell or give away that bike in clear conscience. I assume the charities simply sell them for scrap. I took the battery out to make it difficult to pass on as a viable bike. Haven't sat on a MC since.
