Okay, so if you're planning on buying a used Honda motorcycle, here are the pros and cons, and some tips to avoid regrets later.

Ultimately, buying a used motorcycle always has its risks, and here we'll try to help you with some suggestions to ensure you get a good deal.

Well, buying a used motorcycle has its advantages, but also its disadvantages. The most important benefit concerns the price you will pay for a used motorcycle compared to a new one.

For example, the price of Honda's best-selling motorcycle, the CG 160, according to the Fipe table for the year 2016, is R$11,110,000. The 2022 model, however, costs R$14,800, a difference of almost R$251,300 more. 

Another of Honda's best-selling motorcycles is the Biz 110i. Based on the list price, it costs R$10,000 in 2016 and R$12,300 in 2022. In other words, it's approximately R$201,300 more expensive when new.

Another option is the Pop 110i, priced at R$7,300 for the 2016 model and R$10,300 for the 2022 model. The price reduction for the used model is over 30%.

But if you're looking for a more powerful motorcycle, then consider the Honda NC750X: its list price is R$39,000 for a 2016 model and R$58,000 for a brand new one. A significant difference, isn't it?

First, let's consider that a brand new motorcycle comes with a factory warranty and generates virtually no maintenance costs, which is not the case for a used one.

However, a disadvantage of buying a new motorcycle is its depreciation, which can reach around 30% simply by leaving the dealership. Therefore, consider this factor if you plan to sell it someday.

It's also important to consider that when buying a brand new motorcycle, you'll have to pay for the registration. In addition, you'll have to pay all the fees associated with this process.

So, if you've decided that a used motorcycle is the best solution for your budget, here are some important tips to keep in mind when making your purchase. Read on!

When buying a used Honda motorcycle, it's important to check certain procedures to ensure a safe and good purchase, guaranteeing you get a great deal. Check it out!

As always, when buying any item, it's essential to do thorough price research, as there are countless options on the market.

Furthermore, it's important to consider that in the motorcycle segment, there is a significant variation in prices depending on the location.

Thus, the same motorcycle sold in a large city, where supply and demand are greater, may be purchased for a cheaper price in a smaller city.

Therefore, don't limit your search to just your city; expand it to nearby cities as well, because you might find an opportunity that's worthwhile even with the travel expenses.

Besides searching on sales websites, classified ads, or other sources of information, consider that a good option might be to bid on a motorcycle at auction, such as at the motorcycle auctions held by the Post Office.

Alternatively, keep an eye out for auctions of motorcycles seized by the Department of Motor Vehicles (Detran) and the Federal Revenue Service. You might find a good motorcycle at these auctions.

Great, you found that pre-owned Honda motorcycle you've been looking for? Now it's time to have it inspected in person to determine its true condition.

And if you don't have much experience with motorcycles, it's advisable to go accompanied by a mechanic you trust. After all, you need to ensure a good deal and avoid surprises with unexpected expenses.

Therefore, assess the condition of items and parts that may have suffered greater wear and tear and whether they need replacing. Also, don't hesitate to ask the owner questions about the model.

During the inspection, ask the motorcycle seller if they have documentation regarding periodic inspections or preventive maintenance. After all, if it's available, it's a sign that the motorcycle has been well cared for.

Also check the mileage. After all, a motorcycle with less mileage is preferable to one with more. But prioritize the overall condition of the motorcycle. One with high mileage, but in good condition, might be worthwhile. 

So, there's nothing better than getting on the motorcycle and going for a test drive. After all, this procedure prevents you from having surprises later. By riding it, you can feel if there are any more serious problems that you haven't noticed.

So, if you're buying a used Honda motorcycle from a dealership or reseller, check that the salesperson isn't pushing accessories that aren't really essential.

Ultimately, these additional accessories will increase the price of the motorcycle. So, perhaps you don't need them, or you can add them later when you think it's better.

Alright, everything's been checked and verified, and you really found the motorcycle you wanted? At this point, don't be afraid. Haggle as much as you can, without being aggressive.

Ultimately, it's your money at stake. So, any savings could result in improvements that enhance your new motorcycle. Then you can just ride off happily on the bike you've always dreamed of!
