Hi all, I passed my exams last friday, and I can pick up my license on Tuesday. Now all that's left is buying a bike. What's your best advise for buying on the second hand market? I have no idea how to judge if a bike is worth its pricetag. Wat are things to look for? Your expertise would be greatly appreciated!

Ya a proper dealership will have the bike looked at by a mechanic so you don’t have laymen repairs/maintenance which is good for peace of mind. Sport touring is dope! I like the idea of adventure bikes but they’re all very tall and I’m very short </3
