Reasons to Buy Your Motorcycle New

If you’re on the hunt for your next motorcycle, one of the first choices you’ll need to make is whether or not to buy the bike new. While new motorcycles can be more expensive, there are plenty of reasons they deserve your consideration!

We here at Willamette Valley Harley-Davidson® want to make sure you get the perfect ride, so we’ve put together some of the benefits of buying your motorcycle new, below. To learn more, or to see the new motorcycles we have for sale, contact our store in Eugene, Oregon, today!

Bikes in Their Prime

No matter what vehicle or machine you’re talking about, every mechanical product on the market will only be new once. Fresh from the factory and never before used and abused, a new motorcycle is going to be in the best condition it could possibly be in. No need to worry about poor maintenance, odd smells, peeling paint, or grinding gears—new motorcycles are ready for the road.

Warranty Protection

On the off chance that something went wrong during manufacturing, or that you scuff or bump something, every new motorcycle is going to have at least one warranty on it. These policies protect elements of the bike’s health, from wheels and tires to the exhaust system to the engine itself. Only new motorcycles are guaranteed to come with warranties, and it’s nice to know you’ll have help with certain repairs and maintenance processes. Check with the seller about warranty options and make sure you know exactly what it is and isn’t covered when you buy your motorcycle!

Longer Lifespan

Because a new motorcycle has never seen any serious use, you’re going to be able to enjoy it for far longer. These machines can last upwards of 15 years if they’re well cared for, but if your motorcycle had previous owners who weren’t good at keeping up with proper maintenance, that number declines sharply. That means a pre-owned bike won’t just have fewer years because it’s been used longer—it may have even fewer than expected if it wasn’t well-cared for!

The Latest and Greatest

And of course, buying a new motorcycle means getting something that’s come out fairly recently. Technology develops staggeringly fast nowadays, and with the competitive nature of the motorcycle manufacturing industry, brands work hard to make sure new models are packed with as many advanced technologies as possible. From more intuitive and capable entertainment systems to engine health monitoring systems to even just a better fuel economy, a new motorcycle will have more to offer.
