Would you guys buy a bike that was stored outside??? The guy says the bike runs good but I'm skeptical. Future rust, water in the internals, and worn rubber seals, what else are possible problems related to bikes stored outside?

 

how long was it stored outside for?? and in what kind of weather?? was it exposed to excessive amount of rain or snow?? I would say if it was kept in a car port or somethign that covered it and it had fuel stabalizer in it , it should be fine...put some new tires on it and shes good to go....

 

stored outside in georgia? You gotta be kidding...

 

the bikes in tennesee, been sitting for like a year through 2 months of snow.

he said the bikes needs a paint job cause its shot.

2 months of snow, uncovered? Walk away.

 

how much is the bike? if its dirt cheap and runs buy it.

 

What kind of bike is it?

 

Your first red flag would be tennesee. The second would be the need for a new paint job. Snow doesn't exactly destroy paint... other stuff does and we all have an idea what that other stuff might be
