New vs. Used Motorcycles

Despite the many differences between new and used motorcycles, first-time buyers often have a difficult time choosing between them. If you’re struggling to decide between a used or new motorcycle model, we recommend reading our article below. In it, you’ll find a list of both motorcycles’ unique pros and cons to help you easily choose the model that’s best suited for your needs. 

Why You Want a New Motorcycle

If you’re looking to get the best performance possible out of your motorcycle, then a new model is the better choice for you. Installed with the best motorcycle tech on the market, new models come with a number of innovative features that allow them to perform at higher levels than used models. New motorcycles also come with a variety of ownership perks, including manufacturer warranties to protect your model’s most important equipment, as well as access to top-of-the-line OEM parts to ensure your model lasts a lifetime. 

Why You Want a Used Motorcycle 

Shopping for a quality motorcycle on a tight budget? Then we encourage you to check out your dealership’s available used models. While not every bike on the used lot will be in perfect condition, a majority of used models will be in pretty great shape! As a result, you can easily find a quality motorcycle for a fourth of its usual price. However, the savings don’t stop there. When you purchase a used motorcycle, you’ll find that other expenses—such as insurance and the price of parts—are also much lower than they would be for a new model. 

No matter which option you prefer—whether it’s a high-performance new motorcycle or a well-cared-for used bike—we encourage you to visit us here at Willamette Valley Indian Motorcycle® to browse our massive collection of quality motorcycles for sale.
