Overview

Motorcycles are two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles used for commuting, touring, sport, and off-road riding. They range from nimble scooters and urban commuters to sportbikes, cruisers, adventure and touring models. Motorcycles offer strong fuel efficiency, easy parking, and lower ownership costs compared with cars, but require skill and protective gear. Used bikes are popular for value—inspect condition, service history, and title before buying.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used motorcycle?

Check title and VIN, service records, engine start and idle, compression if possible, frame for damage, tire and brake wear, suspension, and electrical systems. Always do a test ride and consider a pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic.

How do I arrange safe shipping for a motorcycle?

Use a carrier experienced with motorcycles. Choose between open or enclosed transport; crating is best for long distances. Drain fuel if required, secure the bike with soft straps, disconnect or secure the battery, and insure the shipment.

What routine maintenance should I plan for?

Follow the manufacturer’s schedule: regular oil and filter changes, chain/sprocket maintenance or shaft drive checks, brake inspections, tire pressure and tread checks, coolant and clutch adjustments, battery care, and valve/service intervals.
