At this budget you are mostly looking at commuter motorcycles and scooters that have done a few years' work, plus bicycles and the occasional older vehicle. These are practical, repairable machines — but at this price the paperwork deserves as much attention as the engine.

A mechanical fault costs a few thousand. A paperwork problem can cost the whole vehicle.
Ask the seller not to warm it up. It is the most revealing thirty seconds of the inspection.
Tyres, chain, brakes and battery. Total them and factor them into your offer.
Some cities restrict older vehicles. Check the registration date against local rules.
Older, cheaper vehicles are where paperwork problems concentrate, and a mechanical fault costs you a few thousand rupees while a documentation problem can cost you the whole vehicle. Before you look at anything else, confirm:
Also check your city's rules on vehicle age — some cities restrict older vehicles from plying, which directly affects whether a cheap older vehicle is usable where you live.
A vehicle at this price will need maintenance — budget for a full service, and possibly tyres and a battery, on top of the purchase. That is normal and still usually far cheaper than buying new. What is not acceptable is unclear ownership, so never proceed on a promise that documents will follow.
Pay only once you are satisfied, and complete the ownership transfer with the seller — keep copies of everything you both sign. Until the transfer is recorded, the vehicle remains in the seller's name. Your state transport department's website sets out the process.
