When purchasing a used motorcycle, there are specific things to look for in order to get the most bang for your buck. You’re buying a motorcycle most likely because you love getting out on the open road. Enjoy that motorcycle for as long as possible with the following recommendations by Joe’s Auto Sales.
If possible, look for a used motorcycle with low mileage, anywhere between 10,000 - 15,000 miles. A vehicle with lower mileage means it still has a lot of life left in its engine. It also translates to less money spent on maintenance and repairs that are typically needed by older vehicles.
Wherever you choose to purchase a motorcycle, be sure to ask the owner or dealer about the history of the vehicle. What type of service has it already undergone? What kinds of repairs have already been made? Was the motorcycle in any accidents that you’re aware of? Knowing what type of condition the bike is in will give you a good idea of how long it will last.
Not only should you look at the service history of the bike, but you should also check that it has been well-maintained since its first owner. If it’s been taken good care of, it will perform much better, as well as last longer. The resale value will also be greater if you have a used motorcycle in good condition.
