The motorcycle industry is characterized by stiff competition among the different established manufacturers and a few new players that are gunning for first place. This gives shoppers countless options from which to choose, depending on their requirements. Among all factors, reliability is always a common concern when making a buying decision. Salvagebid online salvage motorcycle auctions give you affordable deals on all reliable motorcycle brands. To help you choose, here is a look at three brands that you can find with salvage motorcycles for sale through Salvagebid. 

Yamaha

Yamaha is touted as one of the most reliable motorcycle brands. Despite the large volumes of Yamaha motorcycles that are manufactured every year, only 11% will require any sort of repair in their first four years, unlike brands such as BMW and Ducati whose motorcycles will spend some time in repair shops during the same period. That is an impressive figure which is a result of huge investments in quality control to drive consistency. Some of the best Yamaha motorcycles manufactured over the years include Yamaha YZF1000 R1, Yamaha YZR500 (OW48), Yamaha V-Max, Yamaha RX100, Yamaha YZF-R7 (OW-02), Yamaha XT500, Yamaha RD350B, Yamaha YZ250, Yamaha YDS3C Big Bear, and Yamaha YD2. 

Suzuki

Suzuki is a big player in the motorcycle manufacturing industry, known for both superb beginner bikes and heavy hitters. The brand has an extensive selection of models from which to choose under categories such as Offroad, Motocross, Dual Sport, Adventure, Standard, Touring, Cruiser, and Sport. Suzuki, and Suzuki alone, has defied the global trend that characterizes the motorcycle industry wherein sportbikes fail to account for a good percentage of sales on the global market. The brand’s sportbikes sales represent a massive 26% of all its sales. Some of the best Suzuki motorcycles ever made include the Suzuki SV650, Suzuki Boulevard, Suzuki V-Strom 650, Suzuki DR-Z400SM, Suzuki Bandit GSF600, Suzuki Katana, Suzuki TL1000R, Suzuki RG500, Suzuki GSX-R750, and Suzuki Hayabusa named after the Zero fighter plane of the second world war. 

Honda

Honda’s history of manufacturing motorcycles began in 1949. The brand’s main mark of distinction is its diversity as you can choose from a wide variety of models, designs, and quality. Even though you can find the Honda brand name on a variety of products these days, the brand owes its success to the Honda Powersports collection and more specifically, motorcycles. You can choose from cruisers, touring motorcycles, scooters, sportbikes, and standard (naked) bikes. Among its many motorcycles over the years,  some of the best include the Honda Gold Wing, Honda CBR900RR, Honda Rebel, Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird, and Honda NR750.
