With a used dog, essentially one out of the puppy stage, it is usually house broken and won't chew on your things any longer. A used motorcycle is already broken in and ready for those long rides across country and to the next week long rally you have been dying to attend. New motorcycles with brand new leather seats can still be squeaky and uncomfortable, kind of like that leather baseball glove you worked at for hours to soften the leather. The used motorcycle seats are already softened and ready for that long trip in comfort and style.
