When is the best time to buy a motorcycle with great discounts?
2 Answers
December is the month with the most significant discounts for motorcycles. Here are the specific reasons: 1. Temperature factor: In December, the weather is freezing cold, and fewer people choose to ride motorcycles for travel. Consequently, there are fewer motorcycle buyers during this time, leading to an oversupply and price reductions. This period is considered the off-season for the motorcycle industry, so dealers organize various promotional activities with substantial discounts. 2. Impact of new models: If new motorcycle models are set to launch in the following year, they will significantly impact the prices of older models. During this time, many dealers offer discounts or organize promotional events.
As a motorcycle enthusiast with over a decade of riding experience, I've found that the best discounts on motorcycles are available from late winter to early spring (around January to March). During the cold weather, people are less inclined to ride, leading to inventory buildup at 4S stores, which often results in significant discounts to clear stock. Last year, I bought one in February and managed to get a 30% discount, along with a free set of riding gear. When purchasing during this period, make sure to thoroughly check the tires and chain, as they may have aged from prolonged storage. It's advisable to test ride the bike on the spot to ensure everything is in order. Avoid buying during peak seasons like summer when demand is high and prices are firm. In short, timing your purchase right can save you thousands, which can then be spent on aftermarket parts. Additionally, keep an eye on New Year promotional events at brand stores, as some even offer extended warranties, saving you money and giving you peace of mind.
