Here’s the truth about first bikes: most riders move up within a year or two. Buying used means you skip the biggest hit of depreciation, and when you’re ready for that ZX6R or GSXR, you aren’t losing as much on the trade.

Every motorcycle we sell gets a full safety inspection before it leaves the lot, so you’re not gambling on someone’s Craigslist project. If you’re new to buying used, our 15-point used motorcycle checklist walks you through what to look for.

Financing Your First Bike

Bad credit? Thin credit? That’s normal for first-time buyers, and it doesn’t have to stop you. We offer financing for all credit types, and you can apply for motorcycle financing online before you even come in.

Already Have a Bike You Want to Move On From?

If you’re trading up, or you’ve got a bike sitting in the garage you don’t ride anymore, we buy motorcycles on the spot. Bring your bike and title to our El Cajon showroom for a free, no-obligation quote, and if you accept, you leave with a check the same day. Get a quote on your motorcycle here.

Come Sit on a Few

Specs only tell you so much. The fastest way to find your first bike is to throw a leg over a few and see what feels right. With 300+ bikes in stock, including the beginner favorites above, there’s a lot to try. Browse our used motorcycle inventory or stop by the showroom.
