Tips For Buying a Second Motorcycle

After becoming a motorcycle owner you may eventually find yourself wanting to purchase a second model. Whether you want to grow your collection or buy a bike with different features, our team has put together a brief guide to help you buy another motorcycle!

Utilize Your Knowledge

You’ve already been through the buying process, so many of the “new buyer” tips won’t necessarily apply. When you purchased your first bike, you probably weren’t sure exactly what you were looking for or what your riding style would be like.

Now that you’ve had time to get to know yourself as a motorcycle owner, you’ll have a better understanding of the features and motorcycle types you’re interested in. If you’re considering a second model, you’ll likely want to choose something that better fits your current lifestyle or improved riding skills.

Determine Why You’re Interested in a Second Motorcycle

There can be several reasons why you are considering the purchase of a second motorcycle, but it often comes down to these two reasons: supplementing or replacing. For example, if you plan to sell or trade in your first bike, you’re probably wanting to upgrade and replace your model. On the other hand, you might want to supplement what you don’t already have and grow your collection.

When you determine which category you fall into, you’ll be able to make a better purchase decision. You can look for completely different models or focus on finding an upgrade from what you already love.

You know that being a motorcycle owner is extremely rewarding and making your second purchase is an exciting step in ownership. Our team at Virgil Naff’s, located in Lynchburg, VA, would love to help you find your second bike. We proudly serve the Roanoke and Charlottesville areas.
