Determine Your Needs

First, identify the type of bike that’s best suited for your riding style. Are you looking for something agile and fast? Or do you prefer a more laid-back cruiser that's comfortable on long-distance rides?

Hop online to research a few options and see what brands and models will fit your needs. You can also talk with other riders who have the same interests to understand what you should consider. If you need help selecting a model, ask our friendly team at Bert’s Black Widow Harley-Davidson® for assistance. Our wide-ranging Harley-Davidson® motorcycle inventory comprises models for different riding skills and styles—so keep your options open.

Plan Your Budget

Next, you want to factor in all the costs involved with owning a motorcycle. This includes the upfront cost of the bike along with registration fees, insurance premiums, and maintenance and fuel expenses. You can research to get an idea of what these costs might look like and budget accordingly. You also want to consider accessories for a more realistic estimation.

Understand the Warranty

Brand-new motorcycles have some or the other warranty coverage. This helps avoid making any out-of-pocket payments for fixing manufacturer errors.

As the exact coverage can vary, you want to ensure you understand the warranty options of the models you are considering. Ask your dealer what’s covered and for how long. You can also see if there are optional extended warranties for you to consider.
