10 Things to Consider When Buying a New Motorcycle
SHARE

Motorcycles represent freedom on the open road. It is no wonder many people wish to own a motorcycle. However, when planning to purchase a motorcycle, several considerations should be made. This list provides a view into many of those considerations. The first few are for those who have never owned a motorcycle. The remainder provides tips for everyone during the buying process.

Safety

Before buying a motorcycle, new riders should take a safety course specifically designed for motorcycles. In most states, special driver’s licenses must also be acquired before the motorcycle can be used on the road. Understanding the rules, licensing process, and safety procedures will ensure a safe and enjoyable ride.

Insurance

Those unfamiliar with motorcycles, road use often requires special insurance. Most states have set requirements for liability and injuries. However, additional coverage should be considered to provide medical coverage for the rider as well as repairs if the bike is damaged.

Research

Two types of research need to be considered. The first is for those unfamiliar with motorcycles and their parts. Learning these things is important for understanding the various options on a bike. It can also help determine the various options available for riders.

The other type of research is about specific types of bikes for sale. Understanding the safety features and reliability of various bikes can help a person make an informed decision on their next motorcycle.

Planned Usage

The next consideration should be what the motorcycle will be used for. Will the bike be used for long trips on the open road, short trips around town, or a mix of the two. There are many different types of bikes that provide more comfort, ease of use, and better gas mileage for their specific uses. Understanding the differences and how they will affect the ride will make the purchase easier.

Seat Height

Seat height is one of the most important factors in purchasing the right bike. Many motorcycle parts are not adjustable, so the right fit must be found before purchasing the bike. Ensuring that both feet can be planted flat on the ground while sitting will allow better control.

Extra Space

If planning to go on long trips, extra space for luggage or other supplies may be a necessary aspect of the right motorcycle. If planning to have a passenger on the bike, it may be important to have a seat that can accommodate both riders comfortably. For just quick runs around town, extra space may not be necessary.

Style

Although most considerations are practical, some provide enjoyment for the rider. A motorcycle is a vehicle that riders should feel excited to use. This makes the style quite important. The individual should choose a bike that really revs their engine.

Budget

Cost is definitely a factor in choosing a bike. There are a lot of beautiful motorcycles that can provide a lot of benefits for the rider. However, if it is unaffordable, it will be a very disappointing shopping trip. Being realistic about affordability is the best option.

New or Used

Although the new bike coming off the line may be slated as the best thing since sliced bread, it may not be the best or safety bike available. It may not even be the best bike for the individual rider. Often, the choice between new and used is a budget decision. However, this is not always the case with motorcycles. Sometimes, the right bike is the one from twenty years ago.

Getting a used motorcycle, however, has its potential for issues. The bike must be thoroughly checked out. If possible, a professional mechanic should inspect the bike before purchase to ensure any problems are known.

Bells and Whistles

The final and often most fun consideration is deciding on extras. From the type of windshield or seat material to the sound system on the bike. These are the things that make the bike more comfortable and personal for the rider. Some of these items can be chosen when purchasing new, some can be added after purchase. Either way, this consideration gives the bike its exciting personality.
