Buying Your First Motorcycle?



If you have decided to buy your first motorcycle, seriously consider a used one.  A brand-new bike does depreciate somewhat like a brand-new car so why not take advantage of getting a great used bike at a lower price.  

Once you are ready to start shopping for your bike, take a minute to think about how you are going to use the bike.  Is it for frequent use, to commute to and from work, or mainly weekends and vacations?  Will you be riding long distances or primarily short trips around town?  Are you going to be riding in heavy traffic?  Once you have answers to these questions, you will have a better idea of how to start looking. 

Remember that people often buy more bike than they really need.  Think about the performance you require and find a motorcycle that fits those needs.  Avoid being victim to a sale pitch that pressures you into a bigger or more powerful bike than your new riding skills can/should handle.  The best way to buy your bike is from people who ride them and love them.  Find a dealership that knows motorcycles.  

Another advantage to buying a used bike is if your needs change or you start using the bike a lot more (or less), chances are you will not take as big of a hit financially to trade up or to sell it. Finally before you ride, take a motorcycle safety course and learn all you can in regards to owning and safely riding a bike.
