If you are buying a Honda you won't need to know anything about maintenance :)
The Haynes are pretty good. I've always had one for any bike I've owned. These days You Tube videos are a great resource.
A lot depends on how you are going to have to learn. If you have a garage or place off the street it's way more relaxed but no one happens along and tells you about how they would fix it.

Any recommendations for books on basics of bike mechanics/maintenance? Haynes manuals worth a shot?
Did a CBT and had a Honda XL125V for a while a few years ago, but never got round to the full test.
Recently found myself being charmed by the mid-nineties NTV650, but I've next to nothing in the way of technical know-how.
