New vs. Used Motorcycles

In the market to buy a motorcycle? Before you rush over to the showroom floor, consider checking out our article below on the pros and cons of new and used models. While new motorcycles certainly have their perks, there are plenty of buyers on the market who could benefit from the unique advantages a used motorcycle can provide. 

Why Buy a Used Motorcycle 

If you’re shopping for your very first motorcycle, we strongly recommend sticking with a used model! These motorcycles are much more affordable than new models and will hold their value longer. If you decide to upgrade or trade-in your model in the future, you’ll get a much better return on your investment. We also recommend used motorcycles to more experienced riders who are looking to get a quality model on a budget, as it’s possible to find bikes from top manufacturers at a fourth of their usual price. 

Why Buy a New Motorcycle 

If you’ve got a little extra money to spend, and plan on owning your motorcycle for the next 10 years or longer, it may be a wise idea to invest in a new motorcycle model rather than a new one. These models will likely require less maintenance and care than used models and tend to have longer service lives. If you’re a speedster or plan on spending long periods of time traveling with your motorcycle, we also recommend investing in a new model as these motorcycles tend to offer better performance and rider features.
