How Will I Use the Motorcycle?
Motorcycles can be used in many different ways. The more you can identify your bike's intended purpose, the easier it will be to find models that are compatible with your lifestyle.
For example:
- Commuting to work: Look for fuel efficiency, comfortable seating for long trips, and enough storage space for any items you bring to work.
- Exploring nature: Focus on models that are built to handle the given terrain you want to explore, such as dirt or mud.
- Racing: Prioritize acceleration, speed, and agility.
How Much Do I Want to Spend?
It's wise to set a budget. This accomplishes two goals. First, you’ll avoid overspending. By setting a price limit, you can instantly eliminate models from your search that are outside of that price range. Second, you’ll avoid unnecessarily passing on features or performance potential that you can afford. When you create a budget, you can get the highest quality new motorcycle that fits your finances.
Which Bike Suits My Experience Level?
New riders will want smaller and lighter motorcycles that are easier to handle, which will make the learning-to-ride process easier. More experienced riders can get heavier models that will offer better stability on more challenging routes.
What Do Others Recommend?
It helps to do some research so that you can make a more informed purchasing decision. One resource is customer reviews. For any motorcycle that you consider buying, there are already people who own and ride that given model. See what they have to say in customer reviews. Do they love their purchase and recommend it? Or did they experience buyer's remorse? These reviews can give you great insight!
