A good clear picture is necessary, and make sure that you look at comparable bikes that have been bought and sold to get ideas. Of course- remember to let all of your friends know as well that you are selling your bike! Someone may take an interest and purchase it from you.

Another great way to sell your motorbike, especially if you belong to a motorcycle club is to make an announcement that it is for sale. Remember to get listed in the club newsletter and spread the word around. You may get a fast sale, since everyone will know you from the club.
