Ask yourself these questions first:
There is a ton of materials out there on motorcycle buying, car buying, etc. Anything you can think about there is a guide out there.
But you must ask your self 2 key questions: how much can i afford to spend and how will i use this motorcycle, car, whatever?
These are key especially when looking for a motorcycle. When you look for a car you want to make sure you feel comfortable in it. Same thing goes for your motorcycle. Ask yourself how will the motorcycle i'm looking for fit me and will i be comfortable on it. Does it have comfort adjustments, some motorcycles do have the ability to adjust seat height and so on.

Next, what is the purpose and style of the motorcycle you're looking for?
Is this going to be your toy to be used every weekend? Will you be using it for commuting? Or, will you use it to go off road? Cross country riding? Do you know the color and style of the motorcycle you're looking for? Think about these questions as they will be important to your search for your perfect motorcycle. Obviously the difference in each use of the motorcycle will have a different outcome of what you choose as the style.
Now that you know what style or how you will use your motorcycle ask yourself these questions:
- Do you want a comfortable bike for distance cruising?
- Do you want a high performance motorcycle?
- Do you want specific motorcycle accessories?
- Do you want some kind of protection from the weather such as rain, heat, etc?
- Are there other requirements you are looking for that will satisfy your needs for your next motorcycle?
As you consider the questions above you might have to give up certain things when selecting one over the other.
Example: if you want comfort for long distance cruising you will not be able to use that bike for offroad, and you will probalby loose out on some top end performance. Same goes for other options. Think about it. Take this into consideration, todays motorcycles are in general all high in performance and not many people actually use the motorcycles to the top of their ability in terms of performance, so this might adjust your thinking about which style you actually select. In addition, except for some areas of the country you will not even have the freeway to actually max out your high performance motorcycle. I guess if you really want to risk your life to do so you would find a way / place to do it anyway.
A few other points:
- If you select a sport motorcycle you will not get the comfort you would like for long distance travel
- If you select a sport motorcycle you will get the high performance you might be looking for
- If you need / want (there is a difference) special look and feel or special performance you will most likely miss out on something else.
Bottom line is each motorcycle type is designed for a purpose. Motorcycles are not 1 size fits all. Ask yourself the above questions, think about them, test ride several motorcycles and then select the one you think fits best your requirements.
