MMP 05: How to select your first (or next) motorcycle

In this session of the Motorcycle Mentor Podcast, I share my 8 rules for selecting your first, or next, motorcycle. Follow these steps and avoid the pitfalls of buying a motorcycle that you later hate.

The guidelines explained here work perfectly for selecting your second motorcycle, your third motorcycle… or your tenth motorcycle.

These are the same rules I follow every time I purchase a motorcycle.

More specifically, in this session you’ll find out about:

• My 8 rules to follow every time you purchase a motorcycle.
• Why $4000 is my sweet spot for a used motorcycle.
• Why some new motorcycle models aren’t displayed in motorcycle dealerships.
• Why understanding the 8 categories of motorcycles and selecting the one that best fits your riding goals is the most difficult, yet most important part to get ‘right’.
• How to enjoy the process of selecting and purchasing your next motorcycle.

Resources and links mentioned in this session:

• I am working on the training course that I mentioned in the podcast. If you have specific questions about buying or selling a motorcycle using eBay, Craigslist, or CycleTrader, post them below and I will answer them.
• Where’s the video showing how to see completed auctions on eBay? I should have that completed and posted here in the next week or so.

You can also leave me a voice mail message. I might play your voice mail question during an upcoming podcast.

And lastly, if you haven’t already done so, would you take a minute to leave a quick rating and review of the podcast on iTunes by clicking on the link below. It would be extremely helpful for the show and I’m aiming for 100 5-star ratings before the end of the year. That would be awesome for a motorcycle-related podcast.
