Is a Used Motorcycle Right For You?

In the market to buy a motorcycle? Then the first thing you’ll need to do is decide whether you prefer a new or used model. However, both of these models offer some very unique pros and cons, and choosing between them isn’t always as easy as people initially assume. To discover the unique perks and pitfalls of both new and used motorcycles, we recommend checking out the article below. 

Cost

When it comes to cost a used motorcycle can’t be beat! Not only is this model’s price tag significantly lower than a new motorcycle, but other expenses—such as the cost of insurance and parts—are more affordable too. 

Maintenance 

While used motorcycles may be more affordable in sticker price, when it comes to maintenance and repair fees they tend to rack up a pretty pricey bill. If you don’t pay close attention to your model’s maintenance and care you could end up with an expensive repair not too long after your initial purchase. 

New motorcycles, on the other hand, don’t have this issue. Not only are maintenance fees fairly low, but your model will come with a number of manufacturer warranties to protect you from any unexpected damages or malfunctions. 

Features

Buyers tend to flock to new motorcycles thanks to their impressive high-tech accessories and innovative user features. However, not everyone enjoys the bells and whistles that come with a new model. If you’re more of an old-school rider, you may prefer a used model. Don’t worry, these models also come with a number of unique customizations and accessories—and at a fraction of the normal price!
