1. Pick A Category

Motorcycles are broken down into different categories for different styles of riding. Think about what category best suits your lifestyle.

Maybe you enjoy road trips or want to commute to work. Rider comfort is the priority, so seek out touring motorcycles.

Maybe you want to explore unpaved dirt trails. Here you'll need a model designed for unpredictable terrain, so look at off-road motorcycles.

Maybe adrenaline chasing is your passion. You'll want a high-performing motorcycle, which makes a sport bike your perfect match.

2. Pick A Size

Beginner riders will want smaller, lighter motorcycles that they can easily control. Advanced riders will want larger models that offer more stability, making it easier to tackle tough rides.

It's also important to pick the right size for your unique height and arm span. You don't want to be stuck hunching over or straining to reach the controls. Always test drive a motorcycle to see if it fits your body. You may also be able to get aftermarket accessories that adjust the seat or handlebars.

3. Make A Budget

Think about the maximum amount you want to spend on a motorcycle. Setting a price limit accomplishes two goals. First, it eliminates models that are beyond your price point at the start of your search...before you can fall in love with them. Second, it helps you avoid unnecessarily passing on features that you can afford. Building a budget helps you get the highest quality model that you can afford.
