Motorcycle sales representatives are a great source of information for buyers! However, to make the most of their knowledge, you often need to know what questions to ask. While you’re welcome to ask them anything you like about buying, selling, or owning a motorcycle, we encourage you to use some of the questions we’ve listed below to ensure you’re choosing the best model for your needs.

Motorcycle Model Type

Not all motorcycles are designed for the same type of riding. Some models are meant for racing, some for commuting, and others are great for long-distance travel but bad for city riding. To make sure you’re getting the right model type for your needs, we suggest asking your salesperson for a recommendation or asking specifically to see ‘commuter models’ or ‘racing models’ depending on your preferences.

Motorcycle Engine Power

When shopping for a new motorcycle, it’s important to pay close attention to a model’s engine power. Motorcycles with engines above 600 ccs aren’t going to be a great choice for beginner riders, and it’s very likely you’ll end up crashing your new vehicle. On the other hand, if you’ve got a bit of experience driving a motorcycle, an engine with less than 750 ccs likely won’t meet your performance expectations. To ensure you’re choosing the right model for your needs, be sure to ask your salesperson about your new model’s engine specs.
