Of course the thought of buying a used bike is not always as attractive as that of buying a new motor bike model, but there are many advantages to used bikes: You can afford a higher model with more luxury or performance. Our current market means there are loads of good quality, well priced used bikes to choose from. It may also be easier to obtain bike finance as prices are lower. bike insurance rates are generally more affordable. Many used bikes are still under manufacturer warranty or come with an extended motor plan.
Before looking at used bikes decide what your monthly budget can afford. A good rule to use is that your total monthly bike repayments shouldn't exceed 20% of your salary after tax. This may also be too much for you to afford, depending on other expenses you incur. You also need to consider availability of a lump sum for deposit on the second hand vehicle and monthly fees such as bike insurance. Also bare in mind that you should not spend your entire budget every month. As with any bike, but more so with used bikes, things can and do go wrong. Make allowance for this so that you are not unprepared should an event arise.
Depending on your personality and where you are in life, your bike needs (and wants) will vary hugely. If you already have a used bike brand that you like, take the time to have a look at other bike brand competitors which may provide the same features and better suit your financial needs. There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding different bike brands, this may be due to bad experiences in the past or exposure to different marketing campaigns. Remember, different bike manufacturers have different target markets and offerings, finding the ideal brand of bike that suits your requirements will mean you are not paying for features you may not actually need.
