You wouldn’t question yourself if you purchased your next motorcycle on RideSafely.com.

Table of Contents

Right now on Ridesafely.com, one can choose from dozens of different motorcycles, but which 10 are the best bikes for the money? Let’s find out!

Harley-Davidson FLSTC Softail

HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLSTCI
SC SALVAGE TITLE. HARLEY-DAVIDSON, HARLEY, H-D, and the Bar and Shield Logo are among the trademarks of H-D U.S.A., LLC.

Harley-Davidsons are America’s bike. They are bigger than life, louder than a freight train, and very expensive when new. One way to save money is to purchase a salvage bike on Ridesafely.com. Right now, by using the Instant “Buy Now”, one motorcycle purchase a 2011 Harley-Davidson FLSTCI Softail for just $3450! Mechanical features on the 2011 Softail include a powerful 88 cubic inch engine with electronic sequential port fuel injection and a 5-speed gearbox. Cosmetically, the Softail has standard leather saddle bags, chrome spoke wheels with oversized tires and two-tone paint choices. While the salvage Harley-Davidson on Ridesafely.com does have minor front end damage and will need a new fender and maybe a wheel, take into consideration that when new, the  Harley-Davidson FLSTCI Softail retailed for almost $20,000!

Kawasaki ZX1400 Ninja

KAWASAKI ZX1400
SC SALVAGE

If a sportbike is more your flavor, this is exactly what your taste buds a hoping for. For only $5,200 using the Instant “Buy Now” on Ridesafely.com, one can purchase a 2011 Kawasaki ZX1400 Ninja! Equipped with a large 1352cc inline-four cylinder engine with Digital Fuel Injection, the 2011 ZX1400 Ninja is one of the fastest sportbikes on the planet. What makes this bike one of the fastest is its wide range of features that are standard from the factory. For example, the Digital Fuel Injection system on the 2011 Kawasaki ZX1400 Ninja utilizes 44mm Mikuni throttle bodies that are controlled via the ECU for instant and accurate response while the 75-micron droplet sized fuel injectors supply the perfect amount of fuel. Along with the low overall weight, the 2011 ZX1400 can blast to 60 miles per hour in about three seconds. According to the vehicle description on Ridesafely.com, this 2011 Kawasaki ZX1400 Ninja has very little cosmetic issues and says it runs and drives. With just 11,432 miles, this is one of the best buys of the week!

Vespa ET4 Scooter

VESPA ET4 SCOOTER
IN SALVAGE

Need a small bike to scoot around with? The Vespa ET4 150cc scooter is absolutely perfect! From its classic design, strong 150cc engine, and luggage carrier, these economical scooters are the best mode of transportation around large city centers or campuses. The Vespa brand of scooters has been around since 1946 with parent company Piaggio of Pontedera, Italy. They first obtained the idea of creating a tiny runabout when they saw a large number of American-made Cushman scooters during World War II and how quick individual soldiers could get from one place to another. On Ridesafely.com, one can purchase a 2001 Vespa ET4 scooter for the low Instant “Buy Now” of just $600. This exact Vespa is a salvage motorcycle with minor paint damage along both sides and currently does not run, but with the alloy wheels, its classic design, and color-matched luggage carrier, it is an excellent buy for someone looking for a name brand scooter.

Harley-Davidson FLHXI Street Glide

HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHXI
NC SALVAGE. HARLEY-DAVIDSON, HARLEY, H-D, and the Bar and Shield Logo are among the trademarks of H-D U.S.A., LLC.

One of my favorite styles of Harley-Davidsons is the Street Glide. With the swooping front and rear fenders, the large front end that flows back over the handlebars and the hard saddlebags, these are the coolest looking Harley’s from the factory. Throw in a 96cc engine and 6-speed transmission, these bikes have some real get up and go, also!

If you are interested in this type of Harley, one is available on Ridesafely.com for an Instant “Buy Now” price of $8,000. This bike has minor damage to the front fender and the left side of the windshield has paint chips, however, the rest of the bike is in excellent condition and comes with a custom exhaust and air intake filter. With a replacement fender and a few cans of paint, you would be able to ride with any crew in town.

Polaris Ranger RZR

POLARIS RANGER RZR
IA SNOWMOBILE

Even though the Polaris Ranger RZR might have four wheels, it is just as fun as any bike on the market. Powered by a motorcycle-sized 760cc two-cylinder four-stroke engine which drives either two or all four wheels through a continuously variable transmission, the RZR offers unmatched performance and safety off-road. If this is something you might be interested in, over on Ridesafely.com there is a 2008 Polaris Ranger RZR with only 1,995 miles for just $7,900 via Instant “Buy Now”. Based on the listing, this RZR has only minor cosmetic issues and runs and drives perfectly.

Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa

SUZUKI GSX1300R
GA SALVAGE

One of meanest motorcycles on the planet as far as sportbikes are concerned is the Suzuki GSX1300R which is better known as the Hayabusa. When the Hayabusa was first manufactured, it was the fastest production vehicle with sub 3 second 0-60 mile per hour times and top speeds that hover right at 200 miles per hour. One of the best features on the 2007 GSX1300R Hayabusa was the use of the SRDA induction system. SRDA, which stands for Suzuki Ram Air Direct, uses air ducts that force air down into the motor which creates more air pressure and more power. Currently, a 2007 Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa is for sale on Ridesafely.com on Instant “Buy Now” for just $3,400. This ‘Busa does have a street rash on both the sides due to an accident, but this salvage bike does run without any issues.

Research Suzuki GSZ1300R

2005 Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa

SUZUKI GSX1300R
FL SALVAGE REBUILT

Interested in a Hayabusa, but want one with less damage and more custom parts? With custom wheels, a chrome swing arm, and a carbon fiber windshield shroud, there is currently a 2005 GSX1300R Hayabusa for sale on Ridesafely.com for $4,650. While this bike might be older and slightly more expensive than the 2007 GSX1300R mentioned earlier, this Hayabusa only has minor damage on the left side consistent with the bike falling over and it is missing the headlights. However, as I mentioned before, the cost of the wheels, chrome swing arm, and carbon fiber windshield shroud are well worth the additional cost of this bike.

Research Suzuki GSZ1300R

Yamaha XVZ1300TF Royal Star Venture

YAMAHA XVZ1300TF
SC SALVAGE. HARLEY-DAVIDSON, HARLEY, H-D, and the Bar and Shield Logo are among the trademarks of H-D U.S.A., LLC.

Like the looks of a Harley Davidson, but need something a little bit laid back? Consider a 2009 Yamaha XVZ1300TF Royal Star Venture. Equipped with a large 1300cc engine, the Royal Star Venture has plenty of power to cruise at highway speeds all afternoon while it won’t vibrate your insides or blow out your eardrums. Some of the great features on the 2009 Yamaha XVZ1300TF Royal Star Venture include large front and rear fenders, chrome front fork, and hard saddlebags. To be honest, the looks are very similar to a Harley Davidson Street Glide. There are plenty of salvage motorcycles for sale on Ridesafely.com, but if this is the one for you, you can buy it via Instant “Buy Now” for just $6,340! The bike does have very minor cosmetic damage and is ready to be ridden for the remainder of the summer.

Kawasaki KFX700

KAWASAKI KFX700
SC SALVAGE

If getting dirty and muddy is something you crave, a great ATV to consider is the 2007 Kawasaki KFX700. The Kawasaki KFX 700 comes standard with a large 697 cc liquid-cooled, the four-stroke V-twin engine that uses a continuously variable transmission. Since this motor is quite large, it is not recommended for use by a beginner; however, due to the use of a CVT transmission and not a manual that needs a good hand/foot reaction, the Kawasaki KFX700 is one of the easiest ATVs to operate. Are you ready to buy today? Head over to Ridesafely.com and check out the 2007 Kawasaki KFX700 they have for sale at the low Instant “Buy Now” price of $4,700. Since the quad, according to the auction, runs and drives plus comes with practically brand new tires, you can easily buy today and enjoy tomorrow!

BMW K1300S

BMW K1300S
SC SALVAGE

In the United States, BMW is a car manufacturer. Many Americans don’t understand that they also manufacture some of the best cruiser bikes available on the planet. With a new MSRP of $15,750, the 2014 BMW K1300R has street bike looks with excellent cruising capabilities. The 2014 BMW K1300R comes standard with a 1293cc water-cooled 4-stroke inline-four cylinder engine that makes 175 horsepower and 103 pound-feet of torque. Top speed is limited to 125 miles per hour. The transmission is a six-speed multi-disc clutch manual. Even though this salvage bike has front and right side damage, it looks like the frame has not been tweaked. At an incredibly low Instant “Buy Now” price of just $5,800 over on Ridesafely.com, you can purchase this bike and have it professionally repaired and up and running as soon as a few weeks and for thousands less than buying one new.

Buying salvage motorcycles on Ridesafely.com is a sure way to know you are getting a good deal. Why pay high dealer prices when you can get the prices dealers pay at auction. Everyday thousands of cars, trucks, and motorcycles are posted on Ridesafely.com and even if you aren’t looking for something today, there are deals too good to wait until tomorrow since they might be gone tonight.
