Understanding a Used Motorcycle's Life Expectancy

 

When purchasing a used motorcycle, it is important that you have a good idea of how long it’s going to last. Unfortunately, this is sometimes easier said than done. There are several different factors that go into determining how long a used motorcycle is going to last, not all of which are obvious to the average motorcycle buyer. That’s why Ducati NYC has created this guide to determining a used motorcycle’s life expectancy. 

 

The Average Lifespan of Used Motorcycles

When it comes to determining how much life is left in a used motorcycle, chronological age is less important than the number of miles that the vehicle has traveled. A poorly maintained motorcycle may have a maximum lifespan of only about 20,000 miles, while motorcycles that are kept in very good condition might last 200,000 miles. On average, the typical maximum lifespan for a motorcycle is about 100,000 miles.

 

How Hard the Bike Was Ridden

The more you push a motorcycle to its limits, the more strain it puts on the machine. Aggressive acceleration and braking take its toll over time, wearing out the bike and potentially retiring it early. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to get a sense of how hard a motorcycle has been ridden just from the maintenance history, especially if the bike has had multiple owners. Ask as many questions as you can, and use good judgment. 

 

The Type of Motorcycle

Touring bikes and other motorcycles designed for longer rides tend to have higher maximum mileages, for obvious reasons. Sport bikes and other motorcycles designed for more energetic riding tend to emphasize performance over longevity. It doesn’t help that sport bikes tend to be ridden more aggressively. When considering a used motorcycle’s longevity, be sure to factor in what type of motorcycle it is in your decision.
