The service

See the condition before you commit.

Buying a used motorcycle from photos alone can leave important questions unanswered. A pre-purchase inspection gives you a documented look at the motorcycle’s accessible condition, with photographs and observations you can review remotely.

Request inspections throughout Florida, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville. We confirm on-site availability, travel charges and the inspection scope before booking.

Useful details

Your questions,
answered.

Pre-Purchase Inspection for Florida clients and the coverage described above.

What is included in a motorcycle PPI?

The agreed scope covers accessible condition observations, available VIN and document consistency, photographs and a digital report. Items that cannot be accessed or safely checked are noted.

Does an inspection guarantee the motorcycle?

No. A PPI describes observed condition at the time of inspection. It is not a warranty, a teardown, a title guarantee or a promise that hidden or future problems will not occur.

Will the motorcycle be test ridden?

A test ride is not assumed or guaranteed. Seller permission, safety, access and the agreed scope determine which operational checks can be performed.

Do you offer PPI outside Florida?

Our published on-site PPI offering is focused on Florida. Share an out-of-state location if you need coordination support; availability must be confirmed individually.

How much does a motorcycle inspection cost?

Dealer inspections are $99 per motorcycle. Private-buyer inspections are quoted individually based on location and scope. Availability is confirmed before booking.
