Used Motorcycle Buyers: Questions to Ask Your Dealer

Choosing the right dealership is almost as important as choosing the right used motorcycle. A good dealership will offer a variety of perks and a quality model, while a bad one will likely send you away with a motorcycle that will need to be in the shop after just a matter of months. For tips on how to choose a great dealership and a quality used motorcycle, check out our article below. 

Vehicle History

Before you choose a used motorcycle off the lot, be sure to ask your salesperson for the model’s vehicle history report. This will tell you a lot about the model’s previous care and its current condition. If your dealer has an on-site service center they may have extra information on the model’s general care and upkeep from past owners. 

Pre-Owned

Some dealerships will offer certified pre-owned motorcycles on top of their used selection. These models have usually been thoroughly inspected and repaired by the dealership’s on-site mechanics, and come with a wider range of coverages and warranties than your average used motorcycle. Be sure to ask your dealer if they offer pre-owned motorcycle models and what benefits come with a dealer-certified pre-owned model. 

Warranties

Even if your dealership doesn’t offer certified pre-owned motorcycles, you’ll still want to ask your salesperson about a model’s available warranties. Newer used motorcycles may still have leftover manufacturer warranties, and some dealerships may offer coverage even if the model isn’t pre-owned.
