Used Motorcycles For Sale in Southern California

Nothing beats the feeling of excitement you get when shopping for a new motorcycle. Regardless of being an experienced rider with years under your belt, or being relatively new to riding motorcycles, shopping a used motorcycle over a new one can yield some attractive benefits. So don't just dump a ton of cash into a new motorcycle; instead take the time to do your research into finding the motorcycle of your dreams, at a price you'd have to pinch yourself to believe.

Benefits of Buying a Used Motorcycle

2016 Kawasaki Ninja® H2™ Motorcycle Vista, CA

Most everyone will agree the first and foremost benefit to buying a used motorcycle instead of a new model is the immediate savings. The difference between a new and used motorcycle of the same model, but different year, can sometimes be hundreds if not thousands of dollars, and what you do with that savings is up to you! New riders would benefit by spending that money on riding gear they planned to purchase anyway; safety gear like a helmet, jacket, pants, and boots should be acquired if not already purchased. Experienced riders (and beginners who already have their riding gear) can research aftermarket upgrades to buy to make their used motorcycle tuned to their specifications or stand-out from the pack.

When you're first adjusting to a motorcycle, it's almost inevitable that you'll scuff or mark up the bike in some way. Often this is superficial wear that doesn't impact the performance of the motorcycle but is still damage nonetheless that costs cash to fix. Obviously, body-work and replacing parts on a new motorcycle is more expensive than doing so on a used motorcycle, due to its age and the availability of parts. Even more, the reduced cost of used motorcycles makes them the ideal way to try out different styles of motorcycles to find what ride fits you best. Maybe you purchased a used sport bike, only to realize after extended use that the riding style wasn't for you. Luckily, swapping the bike for a used cruiser with a laid-back riding style would be painless, and you may actually turn a profit doing so. Used motorcycles cost less and are usually paid off quicker, allowing you to transition to a better fit in less time.

Tips for Buying a Used Motorcycle

2016 Harley-Davidson® XL1200X Sportster® Forty-Eight® Motorcycle Vista, CA

Buying a used motorcycle is just like buying any other vehicle, but there are some specifics you would want to keep in mind. Due to the variety of used motorcycles, the first thing you'd want to do is reduce your amount of choices, and the best way to start is by considering your budget. You'll, of course, compare sticker-prices, but you'd be doing yourself a favor by also factoring in the cost of maintenance, tune-ups, fuel, and the cost of replacing parts. After that, consider narrowing your selections down by settling on a type or style of motorcycle you're interested in, like a touring motorcycle for example. Also, consider the weight of the motorcycle you're looking at. Newer riders tend to prefer lighter motorcycles with less-powerful engines that aren't as difficult to handle, whereas experienced riders may prefer the opposite and opt for a larger engine.
