Buying a used motorcycle
A used bike is only as good as its history. Before you buy, look at the tires, chain or belt, brakes, fluids and battery, ask what records come with it, and check that the title is clean and in the seller's name. The guides walk through what to check on sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes and three-wheelers, and how to match a bike to your experience. Inventory changes quickly, so call to confirm a unit is still available before you visit.
Selling, trading and financing
Hill Thrill Motoplex buys motorcycles, takes trade-ins and works with bikes that still have a loan payoff. You can get an offer at the store after the team sees the bike, from photos sent by text or phone, or through the sell form on the website. In Texas, sales tax on a dealer purchase is generally figured on the price after the trade-in value, so ask our team how it applies to your deal. Financing starts with online pre-qualification, and the team reviews the options with you.
