The adage “Prepare the sled in the summer and the cart in the winter” is very applicable to motorcycles. A recent survey by the Avto.ru service showed that at this time, in the autumn-winter season, the number of advertisements for the sale of used motorcycles has reached a peak. For example, in October this year, the number of published proposals for second-hand “two-wheeled friends” is 71% more than in May, that is, at the peak of the motorcycle season.
True, in fairness it should be noted that the abundance of supply does not affect demand in any way. Speaking in the language of statistics, the number of views of equipment vendors’ contact information in October was halved compared to May or June. And in November, the already sluggish buying activity is reduced by another 30-50%. It makes sense that against the backdrop of meager demand, used motorcycle prices are creeping down from the peak of the season. As the analyzes showed, the average price is now around 600,000 ₽, while in April-May-June this figure was at the level of 720,000 “wooden”.
However, a year earlier – that is, in November 2021 – the average price for a “used” two-wheeled vehicle was around 450,000 rubles, which, of course, will be significantly reduced.
And if you plan to ride a “two-wheeled horse” next summer, now is the best time to buy it. First, you can pick up a good option very slowly. Secondly, the prices are at a minimum level and given the remoteness of the motorcycle season, sellers can be quite price inclined.
