If you want to upgrade your current bike to the latest model or try a different riding style, get a second motorcycle that fits your needs. Buying your second motorcycle will be as exciting as purchasing your first model, perhaps more. That’s because you are more knowledgeable now than you were earlier, and you can use this awareness to select the perfect model for your adventures. However, if you are unsure where to begin, we can help.

Hideout Harley-Davidson® is your local motorcycle dealership in Joplin, MO, and we’re here to help you find your dream second bike sooner than you think. Here are a few tips to get you started!

Use Your Knowledge

Now that you have experienced motorcycle riding, you’re likely more familiar with your riding style, bike features, and what you want in your second machine. Take time to determine your needs, identify any missing features in your current motorcycle, and how you intend to ride your new bike. This will help you select the perfect model for your adventures.

Align with Enhanced Skills

Typically, novice riders invest in beginner-friendly motorcycles that are easier to control and master. However, with your experience, you’ll likely want a heavier bike with a higher power capacity. So, be sure the capabilities of your new motorcycle match your improved riding skills and preferences, and then make your final decision.

Determine Whether to Replace or Add to Your Fleet

Finally, determine whether to replace your current bike or add the new model to your fleet.

If you intend to replace your old motorcycle, invest in a versatile model that complements your riding style and skill level. You can get additional features to enhance your on-road safety and comfort. On the other hand, if you hope to supplement your existing bike collection, get a different style of motorcycle to enjoy unique riding experiences.
