Set a Budget

The first step in choosing the right dirt bike is knowing your budget. Models can range in price based on power, size, color, and brand. So, you’ll want to spend some time doing your own research and deciding what features are absolute necessities for you in order to set a realistic budget based on your financial situation and market values. 

Remember that your budget should encompass the asking price along with insurance rates, maintenance, and registration fees.

Know Your Skillset

A trick with purchasing a dirt bike is to evaluate your current riding skills and determine if you can “buy up” to the next level or if it’s better to choose a model within your current range of skills. If you want to buy a model that you can grow into and improve your skills with, you might buy a more powerful model than you’re currently used to riding. However, if you’re a newer rider, are already at the top of the line for available power, or don’t anticipate growing into this specific dirt bike, this factor may not be a concern for your buying process. 

However, whether you want to upgrade or stay within your current riding style, you’ll still want to be aware of your riding level and make sure to buy a model you’re comfortable with using. 

Shop by Purpose

As you shop for the right dirt bike, you’ll also want to think about the purpose of your dirt bike. If you intend to race or trail ride, you’ll want to look for specific features that will cater to your riding style. 

Hopefully, these considerations will make your buying process easier! When you’re ready to shop, visit us in Jonesboro, AR, to browse our selection. We proudly serve Memphis, TN, and can help you find the right financing solution.
