Used Motorcycle Pricing

A motorcycle is a big-ticket purchase and you need to be careful that you don’t fall for something out of your price range. Setting a budget for yourself is the first step to streamlining the process. The idea is to buy something that you love that's also affordable. Your budget needs to include the cost of the pre-owned motorcycle as well as insurance and any gear. Trade-in options are also a major money-saver if you already own a motorcycle!

Your Riding Level

If you are a beginner, go in for a bike that suits your needs and does not come with the bells and whistles of an advanced bike. The Harley you opt for should complement your riding level. A lighter used motorcycle that is easy to handle and steer is ideally what a newbie biker should look for. To state the obvious, heavier bikes are for pro bikers and there are in fact a whole array of choices for seasoned bikers. 

Condition of the Used Motorcycle

Ensure that you put the motorcycle through a thorough check before making the deal. Though the age of the bike is a crucial factor, it is not uncommon to find a relatively new bike that has already been put through a lot of wear and tear. A useful thing to do is to examine the bike when it's cold. You might not notice a damaged bike if the engine has been started up before you get there. If the used motorcycle starts and works smoothly when it's cold, then the bike is in good shape.
