Buying a Used Motorcycle

Many people daydream about cruising down the road on a motorcycle, but it’s not always a top investment priority. However, used motorcycles can be a great way to enjoy ownership without breaking the bank! Our team at Maxey’s Motorsports has a few tips to share with you about buying a used model. 

1. You Still Need a Budget

Even when you’ve decided to look for a used motorcycle, it’s important to set a budget. Spend some time evaluating your finances to determine how much you’d like to spend per month or if you’d be able to make the purchase outright. As you create your budget, remember to consider the costs of registration, insurance, and licensing. 

2. Decide What You Need

Once your budget is set, you can think about the features and style you need. There are many motorcycle types to choose from, each with differing purposes and designs. For example, if you intend to use your motorcycle mostly for commuting, you’ll want to find something comfortable and very fuel efficient. Another example might be looking for something that’s collectible or unique! 

3. Complete an Inspection

When you are looking at used inventory, it’s particularly important to inspect the model. If you’re not comfortable completing the inspection yourself, you can ask a trusted friend or mechanic to help you look it over. Watch for signs of wear and always take a look at the model before and after it’s started.
