Why Should You Buy a Used Motorcycle?

A motorcycle is one of the most exciting vehicles you can decide to buy. Outside of an airplane or boat, the speed, adrenaline, and the feeling of ultimate freedom are unbeatable. One of the first things you'll want to settle on is whether you will buy used or new. Here at Toad Suck H-D®, we have put together a short guide for buying used motorcycles.

New Rider Advantages

If you're a new rider, we recommend buying a used bike. When you first start learning how to ride, some sort of damage to your bike is inevitable. Perhaps you take the wrong angle when parking or you're backing out of the driveway and your foot slips on gravel and you have to set it down. These things happen to all riders! In any case, much less damage is done to your wallet and your pride when a fresh dent or ding shows up on a used motorcycle than if it were brand new.

New riders might not have the same priorities and insight as experienced riders when it comes to choosing what type of bike they are purchasing. Maybe the glint from a freshly-chromed exhaust pipe catches their eye in the dealership, but what they really need is a large comfy bike for two people. It's not unheard of for a new rider to be enamored by that Bluetooth sound system when in reality they should be looking at something light and nimble to maneuver through city streets. With a used motorcycle, it is often easier to pay off or trade in for something different, should that need arise.
 

Saving Money

Perhaps the biggest advantage of buying a used motorcycle is the financial savings. The moment a new vehicle is sold, it begins depreciating. With a used bike, you can leverage this in your favor. The largest decline happens in the first year, so when you dodge that first dip in value you get a lower sticker price and higher return on your investment. You will also most likely save on insurance costs since a used bike is much less expensive to repair or replace. You can use this newly-freed capital for new gear or upgrades to your bike.

Speaking of upgrades, with a newer bike, you'll have to pay upfront for any aftermarket parts, as well as the cost of labor if you aren't doing your own shop work. With a used motorcycle, you get the benefits of these upgrades without that initial investment.
