Use Your New Insight

You have probably ridden your first motorcycle for several months or years and are now more familiar with your riding style. This means you know the key features that can make your rides safer and more comfortable. You want to use this insight to find the perfect second bike for you. It’s a good idea to consider the features missing on your current motorcycle and get them on your new bike.

Match Your New Skills

When starting out, many riders prefer a beginner’s motorcycle. However, once they become more confident, they invest in a model that matches their skills. You can use this strategy to buy your second bike and pick a heavier model with a higher-powered engine.

Decide Whether to Replace or Supplement

Finally, you want to determine whether to replace your current motorcycle or supplement it.

If you want to replace your old bike, get a model that fits your new skills and riding style. You can seek additional features to make your rides more fun and enjoyable. But if you want to add your second bike to your collection, you will probably want to explore models for other riding styles. For example, if you already own a touring bike, you might want to get a cruiser model this time or a classic vintage model to add to your selection.

We hope you find this guide handy when buying your second bike. If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to ask our experts at Timms Harley-Davidson® of Anderson.
