Where to sell your bike?

[chubbsr1]

I've had my gsxr 1000 k3 on Pistonheads for a couple of weeks and i've not even had a phonecall on it.

so, i was wondering, who's found which site, publication, auction site or forums, is the best place to sell your bike?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/602297.htm

this is a link to the bike, but do you think i need to change anything in the advert as well?? I'm open to sensible offers on the bike but don't think that it's overpriced... or is it?

Piston heads is USELESS for bikes [as it’s a car based forum].

Personally I’d use the old favourites of E-Bay and Autotrader.

autotrader(biketrader) - ph and the rest just seem to generate enquiries from people with no money or (oddly) who couldn't come to see your bike for x weeks but you could talk to them about it anyway. Spend your money... save your time

I put my last two bikes on eBay with a buy it now (overpriced on both) with a best offer thing. I sold a 1989 DT125 which wasn't exactly mint for £900 in the end and a DNA 50 for £50 more than I paid a year ago when it had 8000 miles less. Advertise the listing on PH and loads of bike forums.

I've just bought a CCM off here - I look

[chubbsr1]

well, so far this morning, i've put it on...

The Autotrader, web and paper + bike trader. £50.00!!! so it better sell..

Then,

Gixerforums, throttlemonkeys, visordown, pistonheads, motoforum, gixerboyz and the KTMforum.. that should be enough, i'm sick of typing the advert now, so let's hope it sells.

Looks like a good bike and a fair price, but expect silly offers, trouble is everyone, like me and you apparently wants the latest crotch rocket and thinks the older gixers are old tech, still very fast I expect.

[lawrence567]

Why didnt you write it once and copy paste it?
Lol

[chubbsr1]

yeah, i did write it once and copy and paste, but on forums you have to register, then confirm through email that you're not a spammer.. so doing that on 6 forums is a pain in the ass...

The bike isn't much slower than the K5 and K7 that i have, I was hoping to keep it, but i'm running out of space in the garage, so I suppose the older one has to go.. It's an awesome bike, feels like a proper bike compared to the newer smaller crotch rockets.

Tey the rev counter aswell as thats where everyone from visordown seemed to flock to when it all went tits up

Im getting the K8 within the next 2 weeks
