Buying and leasing both have benefits based on your lifestyle and preferences. Leasing allows you to get a motorcycle with more features for less money without any trade-in hassle at lease end. It also lets you transition easily into a new ride every 2–3 years, with most repairs covered by factory warranties. While leasing benefits are many, you'll pay more in the long run than a motorcycle bought outright, annual mileage will be limited, and you could face excessive wear-and-tear fees at the end of the lease term.

Buying saves money over the long term without being locked into an agreement, so you can easily sell or trade your bike in the future. Although you won’t have to worry about mileage and wear penalties, you’ll be responsible for repairs after warranties expire and you’ll likely have to offer a greater down payment to drive off the lot.

If you have time to shop around for a motorcycle, keep in mind that there are certain times of the year where you may get a better deal with the price, or find a greater selection to choose from. Dealers are focused on hitting their sales goals and making room for new inventory, so think about buying at the end of the month, quarter, or year for more negotiating power. Holidays like President’s Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day are also great opportunities to take advantage of new vehicle rebates and dealer incentives. When it comes to specific days of the week, consider shopping on slower days like Mondays to get more personalized attention.

If you’re looking for a used bike, consider purchasing in the fall. Most new models debut at the end of the year, making October through December peak trade-in season as consumers exchange their old ride for a new one. This means a greater selection at better prices. Be sure to consider the time of year and the type of model you’re after. Motorcycles will fetch higher prices in the spring when the weather is nice, as compared to models being sold in the winter months.

If you or your dealer cancel your online order for any reason, your purchase funds will be returned to your bank account within 7–10 business days.

While Sell Buy Moto aims to bring consumers an enjoyable online shopping experience, once the transaction has been finalized, any refund requests must be discussed directly with your dealer.
