Buying a Used Motorcycle

It’s easy to daydream about becoming a motorcycle owner, but what if you could finally bring home your own motorcycle? Our Jonesboro Cycle & ATV team is here to help you find the best model! We offer a great selection of pre-owned motorcycles, which might be the perfect way to finally get you behind the handlebars.

1. Do Your Research

When you’re looking at used motorcycles, it will be important to gather some information before you finalize your purchase. You’ll want to start with general research about used motorcycles, different models, riding styles, and customer feedback about specific experiences they’ve had with certain options. Once you have a solid foundation of information, you can then focus on learning about specific models you’re interested in and more about owning a used motorcycle.

2. Set a Budget

Even though used options will have a lower asking price, it is still very necessary to set a budget for yourself. You’ll need to determine how you’re paying for the motorcycle, either outright or with a financing plan. Most people will still finance a used motorcycle, so it will be helpful to plan for a down payment and know your current credit standings. You may want to take time to research current loan rates, as well.

Don’t forget to include registration, insurance, and riding gear when you make your budget!

3. Get an Inspection

As you narrow down your search and begin looking at options in person, it will be important to complete an inspection before you commit to the sale! If you aren’t comfortable completing an inspection on your own, ask a trusted friend or mechanic to assist you.
