New Rider from Etobicoke

[thiagomvr]

Hey All!

Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum! New rider here, already did the Learning Curve course (last class of 2023), waiting the 60 days to grab my M2. Browsing used motorcycles and insurance! I am going through all the documentation on the forum for beginners riders, but feel free to drop any tips on how to get used beginner bikes on a fair price, the ones I liked until now are pretty close to the general cost of the new ones.

Thanks!

welcome,

used bike prices are typically fairly high because they are bought/sold continuously. However, recent market conditions have raised them even further. Still the best choice because most people do have a mishap early with their first bike, better it's a used one.

Thanks for the tip @Evoex , it makes completely sense to me. I'll slow down the anxiety a bit and keep looking

Welcome.

Take it easy.
Read through the many threads in the "introduce yourself" forum on here and try to pick out the common denominator from all that have contributed.
Report back here in a week to take up the answers.

If current economic trends continue, I imagine the used bike market is going to continue to be atypical for a while. I doubt any historic trends is going to apply except maybe 2007-2009.
