Buying a motorcycle can be a thrilling experience for a motorcycle aficionado. It’s finding your best companion for the next five to ten years. You will have tons of confusing questions running through your mind during your exciting “dream bike-hunt” and one of the questions you’ll ask yourself is whether to buy a new or a second-hand bike?  There are pros and cons to each, as well as four main factors to consider before making your final decision:

  1. Price –how much can you afford?
  2. Bike Condition – brand new sparkling condition of a new bike vs. upkeep and potential repairs of a used bike.
  3. Bike Technology and Safety – Newer bikes will have newer updated technology and safety features to enable you to ride safely.
  4. Your Riding Skills – if you’re a noob first-time rider still getting the hang of it, it is advisable to get a second-hand bike so you don’t risk spending a fortune on a brand-new bike in the event of a crash.

For many people, the cost of a brand-new motorcycle is out of their budget, thus it’s best to go with a used bike. However, you want to be very sure you purchase a bike that is still in good condition, mechanically sound and will last you for a long time until you can afford to upgrade to a new one.  Because if not, you might end up with a poorly designed motorcycle with defects and get hurt in motorcycle accident.

Buying a used bike from online marketplaces is a convenient and easy thing to do. There are many online marketplaces that you can shop for used bikes, namely ebay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Facebook Groups, Motorcycle.com, Autotrader, among others.  These sites are replete with used motorcycle listings and you simply have to scour through the lists and find the right bike.  With due diligence and spending enough time comparing prices, you can increase your chances of finding your dream bike from an online marketplace.  Here are some simple tips to follow:

READ  What to Do if You’re Charged With a Driving Offence

1. Choose a Bike That Suits Your Lifestyle – 

Consider your lifestyle and riding experience when getting a motorcycle.

2. Compare Different Marketplaces – 

Spend some time to browse the various online marketplaces to get an idea of the price range the motorcycle is selling for and compare prices.

3. Inspect The Value of The Used Bike – 

Find out how many hands the bike has gone through and the extent of its wear and tear in order to give you a clue of how much it should cost.

4.  Consider Other Extra Costs – 

Research the hidden costs that you may need to fork out such as the remaining road tax payment and the bike’s restoration costs and replacement parts you’ll need to buy.
