Looking at buying a motorbike

Riding a motorcycle is undeniably fun. Its exciting and exhilarating. A motorbike can change your life, it will make you mobile and it can take you wherever you wish to go. As you probably realise if you ride a motorbike you can usually dodge the traffic jams.

However it has to be said that riding a bike can be lethal if done wrong. Therefore, before you even consider buying any kind of motorcycle, assess your skills and abilities. A rank novice will need to learn how to ride and if you don't already have a motorcycle license, you're going to need one to ride legally. If you've been away from motorcycling for a while, you should take a refresher course. The best course of action is to go to a riding school.

A loan could help you achieve this goal, you would be able to have lessons and buy the Bike you dream of owning.

The kind of riding you're interested in fairly well dictates the type of bike you should shop for. Conversely, the kind of bike you ride largely defines your motorcycling world and lifestyle. So, besides selecting the motorcycle based on its mechanical and performance attributes, consider what circles you'll likely be riding in-so to speak.

Is this the bike for me?
As you shop, consider your body type:

If you cannot put both feet flat on the ground when the bike is upright, it's too tall for you. You can’t stay in control of a machine if your feet don’t touch the floor.
If this is your first bike, or you've never ridden anything scarily fast, don't even look at a high-performance bike.

Which bike?

If you want to hang with the energetic crowd, maybe you're a sport bike candidate.
Folks who enjoy the touring lifestyle are in no kind of hurry when they watch the scenery go by on all sides.
If an RV lifestyle or dinner theatre appeals to you, so might a touring bike.
If you want to put some adventure into a long daily commute, you may be cruiser-bike material.

Consider what your needs are.

Are you commuting every day in city traffic?
You might want to consider something slim and light with good acceleration.
Are you looking for something to cover long distances? Comfort and good mpg should be major factors.

Buying a new motorbike:

Buying a new bike means that if you already have a bike the dealer should be able to offer you a deal on part exchange.
You will be able to get a full warranty when buying a new bike.
Dealers offer excellent pre and after sales service and they offer the standard British versions.
You may be able to visit a showroom and ride off on what you want.
A new bike has no dodgy history to worry about. It can't have been stolen or obtained fraudulently.
A disadvantage of buying new is that a new motorbike instantly depreciates in value.
Motorbikes, as well as other vehicle prices in the UK, including cars, are among the highest in Europe.

Buying a used motorbike:

It will inevitably cost you alot less.
You will need to check it thoroughly before handing over any cash, take someone with you who knows what they are talking about if you are unsure.Second-hand bikes are more likely to have some signs of rust.
You probably won’t know if the bike has been in an accident.
Check the log book to verify matching frame and engine numbers. If they do not match then the bike has been rebuilt after an accident or stolen.
