The selection of used motorcycles involves evaluating multiple criteria, such as price, production year, transmission type, vehicle type, mileage, fuel consumption, and engine capacity. This complex decision-making process often leads buyers to rely on subjective judgments or third-party recommendations, which may result in suboptimal choices. To address this issue, this research develops a decision support system based on the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method, which ranks alternatives based on their proximity to the ideal solution. The study introduces innovation by applying TOPSIS to the specific context of used motorcycle selection, providing a data-driven, objective approach in contrast to conventional methods. A quantitative approach was employed, with data collected from online marketplaces and authorized dealerships. The results indicate that the 2019 Honda Revo, priced at Rp. 8,600,000, is the most optimal choice, achieving the highest preference score of 0.862887804. The effectiveness of the TOPSIS method in structuring the selection process ensures a more systematic and accurate decision-making process. Furthermore, the study highlights the influence of key criteria, such as fuel efficiency and mileage, in determining the ranking of alternatives. Future research should focus on integrating additional factors, such as maintenance history and vehicle condition, and exploring the development of web-based or mobile platforms to improve real-world implementation and enhance user accessibility. This system contributes to smarter, more informed decision-making in the used vehicle market, offering a significant advancement over traditional selection methods.
