Buying A New Motorcycle

A new motorcycle offers many perks, from cutting-edge features to optimized performance. But knowing you want a new model is one thing. Knowing which to pick is another! There are so many new motorcycles for sale, how do you narrow the search?

We've gathered up the following tips for buying a new motorcycle. If you want more advice or want to shop models, visit East Bay Motorsports. Our dealership is located in Hayward, California, and we also serve those throughout the Bay Area.

Pick A Motorcycle Category

The first step in buying a new motorcycle is deciding what motorcycle category best suits you. There are many different categories designed for different lifestyles. 

For example:

• cruisers are ideal for stylish city riding

• touring motorcycles are great for long-distance riding, such as road trips or commuting to work

• dirt bikes allow easy exploration of nature

• dual sport bikes can handle paved roads and dirt trails

• sport bikes are an adrenaline junkie's dream come true

• scooters offer a fuel-efficient way to navigate low-speed areas

If you aren't sure which category matches your lifestyle, chat with a motorcycle dealer. They know all the ins and outs of the models and can suggest compatible bikes for your needs.

Factor In Your Experience Level

Beginner riders will be shopping for a different set of motorcycles for sale than experienced riders. Be realistic about where your riding skills are and what motorcycles you can handle.

Newbies should stick with motorcycles that will be easier to learn on, which means low-powered and lightweight models. Advanced riders can get heavier and higher-powered models that can tackle tough routes.

Set Your Price Limit

Motorcycles are sold at various price points. Think about what your budget is, then look at models that fall within that price range. That way, you won't fall in love with a model that's beyond your financial means. On the flip side, you also won't unnecessarily pass on features or specifications that you can afford. Setting a budget helps you get the highest quality model that you can afford.
