Motorcycle prices can vary wildly, but on average, if you're buying a new motorcycle fit for a beginner, you're probably spending anywhere between $5,000 and $10,000. If you are over 25 and have a spotless driving record, you can get a pretty decent rate on insurance, possibly under $500 a year.

NADA takes data from wholesale and retail transactions, and has access to the largest database of motorbike sales in the country. Their price estimations are therefore slightly lower than Kelleys. As a buyer, NADA estimates are preferred as they help lower the cost of a bike. Insurance companies also prefer NADA estimates.
