Determine Your Needs

First, identify your specific needs, then explore Harley-Davidson® motorcycles for sale near you. Determine your new-found riding style, skills, and the type of terrain you hope to frequent, then peruse models that match your requirements. If you already have a street motorcycle for everyday commuting, you’ll benefit from investing in a machine that can handle your off-road endeavors.

Consider Whether to Replace or Supplement

Next, you’ll want to determine whether to replace your old motorbike or add another one to your collection.

A replacement motorcycle should be a versatile machine that can help you conquer both paved and off-road paths, especially if you are interested in frequenting both terrains. If you want your machine to handle long-distance trips, as well, consider this when narrowing your choices at the dealership.

On the other hand, if you plan to supplement your current Harley-Davidson® motorcycle, you’ll likely want a machine that can tackle your adventures. For example, a classic vintage model, a sports bike, or a dirt bike can be a fantastic addition to your cruiser or tourer.

Plan a Realistic Budget

Finally, consider how much you can spend on your second motorcycle without making too many financial adjustments. If your preferred motorbike is expensive, you can opt for a financing solution or consider buying a used model.
