Appearance Matters
Before you sell your bike, you need to make sure it’s presentable. A good cleaning can go a long way in making your motorcycle more valuable. You’ll want your model to look as close to brand new as possible. Clean it as thoroughly as you can, touch up any paint or scratches, and replace worn-down parts that make your bike look less than desirable.
What’s the Value of Your Model?
Next, you need to figure out the value of your motorcycle. Factors like mileage, configuration, upgrades, and wear and tear will all impact the value. If you set your price too high, you’re not going to get any buyers. If you set the price too low, you’ll miss out on some potential customers. When estimating your price make sure to factor in the bike’s age and conditions as well as any upgrades you added. Determine the absolute lowest price you’re willing to sell the machine for, then set the price higher so you can negotiate with the seller on a cost that works for both of you.
