他的自行车被我买了. (His bicycle was bought by me.)
As I learn, 被 structure tends to be used in negative conditions. In this sentence, I think it is not wrong but not smooth.
Can anyone explain if it is grammatically wrong and suggest me a better option?

I think there is no wrong in your sentence.
You could also said like:
"我買了他的自行車" = "I bought his bicycle."
PS: 被 is not all negative, it should be "passive".(passively?)

2他的自行车被我买了 emphasize the object 他的自行车 (what happened to the bicycle? I bought it); 我買了他的自行車 doesn't emphasize anything– Tang Ho ♦May 25, 2020 at 4:14

@TangHo yeah, I know what you mean, I have consider for a while, but "his bicycle" have means "他的", or if use "his own bicycle" will be better? Do you have any idea?– 高鵬翔May 25, 2020 at 5:08

他的 (his) refer to a third person's ; 我(I) is the first person. "his own bicycle" means 他自己的, the sentence should be 他自己的自行车被我买了 which 自己 is redundant– Tang Ho ♦May 25, 2020 at 5:13

@TangHo Thats why I did'nt add it in the sentence, but can't emphasize the object.– 高鵬翔May 25, 2020 at 6:39
