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 allow 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 lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose. Lenders of vehicle manufacturers 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. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.
