How To Determine What Your Motorcycle Is Worth

By Matt LeClair


If you're looking to sell your motorcycle, one thing that you will have to make sure you do is set the selling price correctly. There are a number of strategies that you can use to determine the price of your bike. Here are some of the popular strategies.

Kelley Blue Book (KBB) is perhaps the most widely used tools that helps you figure out the selling or trade-in value of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and just about any other motorized vehicle that you can think of. You can use it to determine the price of your vehicle by selecting from many different options such as make, model, year, and many more.

When you use KBB you will find that there are a couple of different resulting numbers, the trade-in value and the private sale value. The number that is perhaps the most popular for selling any type of vehicle is the private seller value.

You can also compare your motorcycle to others that are listed for sale in the many different resources that are used for selling vehicles and other items. There are a lot of different tools that you can search through which include newspapers, classified ads, print magazines, and even the used inventory that motorcycle dealerships have.

When you want to sell an antique motorcycle or a collector item and want to get the most accurate price, then you can get an accurate price from a professional appraiser. When you use an appraiser, he or she will evaluate the condition of your bike to give you the best price based on a number of different factors which are used to price many different types of motorcycles.

When it comes to selling your motorcycle, or any vehicle for that matter, there are a lot of different tools that you can make use of to get the most accurate price for your listing. When you decide to list your bike for sale, don't end up selling it for less than what it is actually worth? Instead, make sure that you get the right listing price using one of these great tools.
