Selling Your Motorcycle: What You Need to Know

Selling a motorcycle is different from selling a car. The market is smaller, seasonal, and buyers are often true enthusiasts. With the right approach, you can still get the best price. Here are our tips.

Timing is everything

The motorcycle season runs from March through September. During this period, demand is highest and you can get the best price. Selling your motorcycle in winter? Expect 10-15% less. Plan your sale wisely.

Maintenance and condition

Motorcycle riders are critical. Make sure your bike is in good technical condition: tyres, brakes, chain, fluids. A recent service is a big plus. Keep all invoices and the service book.

Required documents

To sell your motorcycle, you need: the registration certificate (parts I and II), a valid MOT report (for motorcycles older than 3 years), the service book, and a sales contract. Don't forget to deregister the motorcycle with the RDW.

Selling safely

Avoid cash transactions over €500. Have buyers transfer via bank, so you have proof of payment. Always draw up a sales contract and verify the buyer's ID. This prevents issues afterwards.
