When you\u2019re not riding your motorcycle, properly storing the bike can greatly extend its life. While some people have ample garage space at home, others might turn to a storage facility for their motorcycle storage<\/a> needs. At Price Self Storage, our customers with motorcycles typically will pick one of two options:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Storage unit\u00a0<\/li>\r\n
  2. A designated motorcycle parking space\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    If you go with the first choice, you may be left wondering, what size storage unit do I need for a motorcycle?<\/em> Here\u2019s everything you need to know.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Storage Unit Size for Motorcycle<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    The first factor to consider when finding the right storage unit for your bike is the cost and size of the unit necessary to adequately hold your motorcycle. Fortunately, with Price Self Storage, you have a variety of unit size options available\u2014all at affordable prices.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Now, many people assume that a 5\u2019 x 5\u2019 storage unit<\/a> is more than enough space for their motorcycle. While it is<\/em> large enough to fit a bicycle vertically, it is not sufficient for a motorcycle.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    For instance, the Indian Scout Cruiser<\/a> is 91 inches long, which would be an improper fit for a 5\u2019 x 5\u2019 storage unit. This is why we suggest something bigger.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    So, what is the proper storage unit size?\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    The Right<\/em> Storage Unit Size for a Motorcycle<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    If you want to store a single motorcycle, a 5\u2019 x 10\u2019 storage unit<\/a> is typically ideal. This extra 25 ft2<\/sup> provides you with plenty of wiggle room within the unit. It makes it much easier to get the bike in and out of the unit, which is especially important if you plan on consistently using the bike. The large unit also allows you to tinker with the bike or make repairs right then and there. In other words, it can double as a garage.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Additionally, a larger unit leaves you with extra storage space you could use to fill with motorcycle-related accessories, including:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
