Why Used Touring Motorcycles Are a Great Investment

 

No one wants to buy a pre-owned bike…only for it to require expensive repairs or to finally die soon after purchase. That’s what makes used touring motorcycles so appealing!

The unique design and purpose of touring bikes lead to a higher-than-average life expectancy compared to other types of motorcycles. Used touring motorcycles that are well-maintained can provide adventures for years to come. Read on to learn more about these popular budget-friendly models.

 

The Longevity of Their Engines

Touring motorcycles often have engines that are low-revving. Compared to other motorcycles like dirt bikes, the engine won’t need to work as hard to get the job done.

Used touring motorcycles, then, often have less wear and tear on their engines. This means a longer lifespan and a reduced chance of expensive engine repairs.

 

The Drivetrain and Chassis

Used touring motorcycles are typically taken out on easy highway routes. This places much less stress on the drivetrain and chassis compared to other riding environments, such as racetracks or dirt trails.

Reduced stress reduces damage to the drivetrain and chassis, which means a longer lifespan for a well-maintained used touring motorcycle.

 

The Frequency of Riding

This may sound counterintuitive at first, but a low-mileage pre-owned vehicle can have more problems than a higher-mileage one.

Vehicles that are rarely driven and just sit in storage can accumulate maintenance problems. These can include clogged carburetor jets, fuel going bad, pistons and rings seizing in their bores, and gas tanks flaking rust.

Given that touring motorcycles are made for long-distance riding, they are often purchased by those looking to hit the road for extended periods. For example, riders who want to commute to work or want to go on frequent road trips. Many used touring motorcycles for sale are models that have been ridden frequently enough to avoid those “sitting too long in storage” maintenance issues.

 

High Mileage for Used Touring Motorcycles

High mileage for a used touring motorcycle is usually around 50,000 miles, which is higher than many other types of bikes. Some well-maintained used touring motorcycles can even last beyond 100,000 miles.
