BUYING A USED MOTORCYCLE
If you are a new rider, the first bike
you buy should be a used one. New motorcycle riders are more
likely to take a few spills in the beginning. Training and
practice should be done for no less than a year before you
even consider buying a new bike. Damage incurred on new
motorcycles as a result of minor spills can result in
thousands of dollars in repairs.
Individuals in the market
for a used motorcycle have several options for choosing a
purchase source:
- Buy from
auction - Utilizing Internet auction sites like eBay
Motors is becoming one of the most popular methods for
buying a pre-owned bikes. The only problem with these types
of purchases is the inability to thoroughly examine the
motorcycle before you purchase it. That is unless the seller
lives within traveling distance from you.
- Buy from a
classified ad - Check your local newspapers. You
will definitely be able to find some good deals on used
bikes in the classified sections. Or, there are many 'want
ads' on the Internet. Sites like
Craig's List will
likely have many ads from people in your area looking to
sell their used motorcycles. There also many motorcycle
enthusiast sites that feature classifieds and other sections
for people to buy and sell motorcycles.
- Buy from a
family member, friend or acquaintance - Let the
people involved in your life that you are looking for a
motorcycle. There is a good chance that someone will know
someone looking to sell a bike.
A good idea would be to visit
a local motorcycle club. Check out one of their meetings and
mention that you are looking to buy a used bike. It is very
likely that either one of the members, or someone they know
will be able to sell you a bike.
- Buy from a
dealer - Visit your local motorcycle dealer. Inquire
about trade-ins that are in good condition. Don't be
discouraged if the dealer does not have what you are looking
for. They will likely work with you to find the motorcycle
you are looking for.
