BikeFinder – Motorcycle Search

Professional. Reliable. No crown on my head. Hi! I’m Alexey — a motorbike enthusiast with 22 years’ riding experience and over 20 years’ experience sourcing cars and motorbikes. I’ve lived in Da Nang for many years, and the local motorbike community knows me well. I ride a Versys 650 myself, which I found, bought and brought over from Hanoi. 📌 My specialities: — Harley-Davidson 🦅 I know every model inside out, including their quirks, tuning options, etc. — Japanese brands (Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki) 🇯🇵 I can tell the difference between a privately owned bike and a rental with cosmetic touch-ups) — Rare and customised bikes 🛠 🕵️‍♂️ What I check during an inspection: ✅ Frame condition — geometry, signs of accidents ✅ Engine — noises, starting, leaks, even cylinder operation ✅ Electrics — I use a multimeter to check the entire electrical system, charging, and how much life is left in the battery ✅ Paintwork — I use a paint thickness gauge to detect repainting and body filler ✅ Year of manufacture — I verify this by checking the markings on several parts. Often, the advert states the year of first registration. I expose the truth straight away. ✅ Frame and engine numbers — check for forgery or tampering ✅ Suspension, brakes, clutch, gearbox ✅ Signals, headlights, charging system, starter motor ✅ Checking documents, VIN verification. 🧰 I work with my own tools, doing everything properly. I have: A professional scanner for reading fault codes on all Japanese motorcycle brands. An articulated endoscope for inspecting cylinders and valves (best-in-class quality, everything is clearly visible – not a cheap Chinese phone attachment for 500 dong). A compression gauge for measuring cylinder compression. A pyrometer to check cylinder performance consistency. A paint thickness gauge to check the paintwork for repainting. And also a mechanical stethoscope to locate engine noises. And much more. 😎 By nature, I’m open and positive, and I explain everything calmly. If I see that a bike is rubbish, I’ll tell you honestly and advise against buying it. I’ve seen plenty of cases here of frame numbers being altered, mileage being faked fivefold, and signs of shoddy repairs. 📍 I work in Da Nang and the surrounding area. 📥 Drop me a private message — I’ll help you find a motorbike that suits your needs. How the selection process works: 1. We discuss your budget and what kind of motorbike you need for your purposes. If anything, I’ll always recommend the most suitable option 2. You pay a small deposit 3. We decide exactly which motorbikes I’ll look for on your behalf (there’s nothing in Da Nang, so we’ll need to fly to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City) 4. I book the flights and negotiate with the sellers. If the bike is rare, I put it on hold. 5. On the agreed date, I fly out to collect the motorbike. I inspect it using tools, send you a detailed video with my comments and a recommendation to buy or not 6. If you’re happy with everything, I negotiate with the seller and try to get you the best price. After that, I draw up a sales contract from the shop in your name. If you do not have a TRC, the motorbike remains registered to the previous owner; you own it officially under the sales contract, but cannot register it in your own name. 7. You transfer the payment to the shop’s bank details. My commission is 8% of the purchase price plus transport costs. If I’m buying several bikes, I split the transport costs between all the customers. 8. On the same day, the motorbike is sent to your city by train; it will be with you in 2–4 working days. 9. After purchase, there is a 3-month warranty on the engine and gearbox. I also guarantee that the motorbike has not been involved in any serious accidents and has not required any engine repairs. 10. As you continue to use the bike, you are always welcome to ask me questions; I run a technical thread on the Catzillas chat and am happy to share my experience regarding motorcycle maintenance.
