How many of you bought your last bike new or used? in the first 12 months of owning it, have you had any mechanical problems?

It's my first bike and I bought it used. No problems unless you call changing the tire a problem but I don't.

Just bought a used CBR600F2, the only problem I've had so far is speedo doesn't work. Other than that it's been great. :knockonwood:

Slightly used. I bought my '04 with 1000 miles. The only problem I have is riding and enjoying it too much!

Some older and vintage stuff - Used with no problems after careful inspection and general maintenance items.
Current everyday bike - New no probs except having to break it in

Take someone who knows their **** with you and you will be fine. Any bad vibes then walk away, there's always a ton of others to look at.

In the case that she's dead, would that bike still be considered yours since you still have all the paperwork? Just curious....
