Buying a used motorcycle can benefit you in more ways than just cheaper costs and lower insurance premiums. When you buy a used motorcycle, most of the models you'll find will have added extras. Meaning you don't have to fork out more money after spending on the bike itself. You will find all sorts of additional features on used motorcycles, sometimes adding value to the bike.

Panniers and a topbox
Lots of people add pannier luggage boxes and topboxes to their rides to make a better touring custom. These not only hold extra luggage you may be carrying, but they can also offer protection against crashes too - that's a win-win!
Heated grips
You may not think heated grips is much of an upgrade, but to add heated grips to your bike you need compatible handlebars, a battery and you must also pay labour costs. So finding them on a used vehicle means you can keep your hands toasty for less.
Aftermarket exhaust systems and slip-ons
Being quite a normal part of customising your bike, riders tend to change the exhaust system or slip-on muffler. You often see used motorcycles with big brand names such as Akrapovic, Lextek and Black Widow.
Engine and crash bars
It may take you some time to warm up to the idea of crash bars all over your motorcycle, but they offer fantastic protection for almost any crash scenario. These bars will have been professionally installed and will decrease the amount of repair work needed in the event of an accident.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Please see our complaints page for our complaints policiy and regulatory complaints.
