Warranties

New motorcycles will come with some type of factory warranty. Though the actual coverage may vary depending on your bike’s brand and model, rest assured it will cover manufacturer errors for a few years at least. It’ll be a good idea to try to balance affordable warranties with those that cover as many parts replacements and malfunctions as possible.

Insurance

As you may know, you’ll need to have an insurance plan in place to ride your motorcycle legally. Though a good plan can be more expensive, comprehensive coverage will ensure you get the services for a much better price if something happens to your bike. Usually, such a plan covers everything from weather damage and accidents to vandalism and more. Ask your insurance agent about what options you have, and then make your final decision.

Service Plans

In addition to the points above, you will want to have a good service plan for your new motorcycle. A service plan helps you with professional assistance for your model at a more reasonable price. You can approach a service department you trust to get whatever repairs, maintenance, and parts replacements you need on your bike without worrying about pinching your pocket. This way, you can save money when seeking out complex repairs and performing regular and preventative maintenance.
