Things to Consider Before Buying a Motorcycle
Before buying a new or used motorcycle, ask yourself these questions to ensure everything is aligned correctly with your budget and experience.
What's My Budget?
If you have a small budget, a used motorcycle might be better. However, if you have a higher budget and want the latest features, getting a new motorcycle is a good option. We recommend being flexible with your budget and using any dealer's promotion to get a good deal so you don't pay extra.
What's My Experience Level?
If you are a new rider, we recommend getting a used bike, as you will need to learn how to drive a bike properly without worrying too much about damage. For experienced motorcycle riders, buying a new motorcycle is acceptable since they do not have to worry about damaging the bike and know how to take care of it.
How Often Will I Ride?
If you plan to ride your bike every day or travel a long distance, getting a new bike may be a reliable option since you will be the one who uses the bike for the first time. But if you ride your bike only on the weekend for fun, getting a used bike is a good option.
Do I Know a Good Mechanic?
Used motorcycles are cheaper than buying a new one, but they will need small repairs after you buy them. If you already know a good mechanic that you can trust, it can help a lot. You will feel safer fixing problems quickly and without spending too much money. A trusted mechanic can also check the bike before you buy it, which can help you avoid getting a bad one.
