The Essential Questions to Ask When Buying a Used Motorcycle

Navigating the process of buying a used Harley-Davidson® motorcycle can seem daunting, especially with the multitude of choices on offer. This guide aims to help you discern and select an excellent match for your requirements. Pinpointing critical questions to ask is crucial when considering used Harley-Davidson motorcycles, or indeed any other brand.

Why Is The Motorcycle Being Sold?

One of the first things you might want to inquire about is the reason behind the sale. This may offer valuable insight into potential issues or flaws that aren’t immediately noticeable on a quick inspection or test ride.

What Is the Bike's Mileage & Maintenance History?

Understanding how many miles the used Harley-Davidson motorcycle has traveled can provide depth about its condition and life expectancy. Together with this, having a detailed history of past maintenance undertaken signifies responsible ownership and aids in assessing wear and tear.

Are There Any Existing Faults?

While cavities and faults are more common in used motorcycles, knowing what defects exist helps strategize necessary fixes once it's yours. Ask for honest disclosure to eliminate surprises down the line.

Are There Any Modification Accessories Installed?

Ask about any modifications made or additions installed as these can significantly affect how your bike functions and feels. Some modifications improve performance, while some may lead to malfunctions if not properly installed.
