Sell my motorbike on MotorHype

Gather all your motorbike’s information before selling it

Before creating your free motorbike advert, you will need to find out some more information about your motorcycle. Find out technical specification information about the bike, as well as how many miles it has done, when its last MOT was, and more. The more you know about the motorbike the better. Potential buyers might ask to see proof of these things, so make sure you have got all the relevant information at hand before you sell your motorbike in case someone asks.

Set the price to sell your motorbike

You probably have an idea of what price you want to sell your motorcycle for. Before you jump in, think about whether your motorbike is actually worth that price. If you set the price too high it could put off potential buyers who are not willing to pay that much for what they would get. You are able to value your motorbike for free by entering your registration on the HPI Check website. This will give you an idea of how much you can sell your motorcycle for.

Take good photos of the motorcycle you’re selling

You may be asking yourself how am I going to sell my motorcycle by taking photos myself? You can take professional-looking images by making sure you take the photos in good lighting, during the day, so that you can showcase the motorbike properly. Listings without images are not likely to sell as well, as buyers will be worried as to why there aren’t any. Before you take the photos ensure that your motorbike is clean and tidy. Photos with mess or dirt might put off people and have a negative impact on your online advert.

Sell your motorbike with a free motorbike advert

Clean up your motorcycle before you sell it

Before you advertise your motorcycle make sure that you have cleaned it thoroughly, to appeal to the buyer more.
