New Rider Advantages

Used motorcycles offer advantages to new riders that they simply can’t get from a newer bike. If you’ve been riding for a while, you can think back to the days when you were fresh to the world of motorcycling. There are inevitably going to be incidents where small dings, dents, or scratches appear. Perhaps it’s unseen gravel, a misjudged parking job, or some wet leaves. These things happen — even to experienced riders! Whatever the incident may be, it is much less painful for something to happen to a used bike than the newest model.

Additionally, new riders might not know exactly what type of bike is best for their riding style or the terrain they plan on riding over. It could be that the sleek and stylish appearance of a cruiser draws them to the lifestyle, but they quickly discover that something built for long-distance would be better for their commute. Used motorcycles take less time to pay off, and riders can quickly find another used bike that is a better fit.

Things to Consider

Buying a motorcycle can be really exciting but you’ll want to make sure that the bike fits your body as well as your wallet. When you see a used bike that you like, make sure that you sit on it and get a feel for the controls and pegs before you test ride. You want to make sure that your body is comfortable on the seat and you can reach the handlebars. How is the riding position? On some motorcycles, you’ll be positioned forward in more of a racing stance, while some bikes will have you in a more leaned-back and relaxed riding position. Your feet should rest flat on the ground while still on the bike, giving you the ability to remain planted should there be a surprise gust of wind while at a stoplight. When you’re ready to take it out for a spin, make sure the bike has the feel that you want. Do your legs curl under you too much, or are your arms locked uncomfortably? You want to feel like you are “one” with the bike, in a symbiotic partnership, united against the unforgiving elements and the harsh asphalt. Also if this is your first bike, visit our parts department to make sure you get a helmet, gloves, boots, eye protection, and any other protective gear you need to keep yourself safe on the road.
