Best Time to Buy


The last thing on most motorcyclist minds right now is buying a new or used bike. Primarily due to the weather not being the greatest, the holidays and a slow economy. The thing is, this is when you'll get the best deals. The dealerships are slow this time of year and privateers selling their personal bikes are having a hard time selling theirs as well. Dealers are trying to get rid of the old models in order to make room for the new ones. So we currently have too many bikes and not enough buyers, perfect if your looking to purchase.

If you don't mind riding a one year old new motorcycle, why wouldn't you buy a leftover? the prices are substantially less than they were just a few months prior. Many times on top of the discounts dealers are willing to throw in accessories and other bonuses. Have the same new motorcycle as the other guys just for a lot less money.

If your looking to buy used I haven't seen a better time. Sellers are desperate at this point and are willing to take a bigger loss than they would have before. Most of these sellers have been trying to sell their bike for a few months, generally from the end of the riding season till now. Since many people are strapped for cash, they will take a hit where they normally would not. This a great way to make a profit since the prices go up in the spring time, especially if you can find a bike that needs a little bit of work. Fix it, turn around and sell in the spring for profit.

So whether your looking to make some spare cash, get your dream ride, or just a good deal. You better do it quick before the warm weather arises and your stuck waiting till next winter for the great deals.
