Welcome aboard. Congrats on getting your M1.

Take your time looking for a bike. Look at as many as you can. It will give you experience in what to look for. There are various guides on this forum & elsewhere on how to look at bikes. If you are unsure of anything, ask the seller to meet you at Honda service to do a "pre-purchase" inspection. They will tell you what the bike needs or doesn't need.

Good luck & enjoy shopping!

Thank you I have been doing some reaserch on how to inspect a used bike before buying. Im a big hands on person. But we will see how everything goes. Is there any specific years or things i sould look out for in both a good way or bad???

Congrats on getting everything underway.

There are no real bad years just make sure you go with someone who knows what they are looking at / for
