From fraudulent financial transactions to outright theft, selling your vehicle can expose you to many dangerous situations. We are motorcycle retail professional with procedures in place to avoid these cheats.
We Professionally Market Your Motorcycle.
First we make a detailed set of photographs of your motorcycle, just like we do for our own inventory. We add your motorcycle to our on-line inventory management system which automatically creates a full color detailed listing for your bike and places it on our company websites and creates an advertisement on major motorcycle sales sites at no cost to you. Your for sale bike is then placed on display at our store. We are able to expose your motorcycle to many potential buyers online and in store because every week hundreds of motorcycle shoppers visit our website and stop by our showroom looking for that perfect bike, this exposure is why we can sell your bike faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Kind of Bikes Are You Looking For?
Any good, clean, used bike from 2010 to 2022 might be a candidate for purchase. We prefer pre-owned models from the brands we sell new. For example, adventure bikes (BMW GS, GSA and similar bikes from Triumph, Ducati, and Royal Enfield), sport touring, super sports, and cruisers from our brands and those from other brands. We do not accept off-road motorcycles or ATVs.
What Do I Need to Consign My Bike?
When you consign your vehicle to us, you will be asked about the history of the bike. Certain things, by law, must be disclosed to a buyer such as whether the vehicle is a salvage, previously a been a rental or law enforcement vehicle, or flood/fire/frame damaged vehicle. Having a written service history is not required, but is suggested, as it is proof that your vehicle has been well maintained. It adds value!
We will need to know the price you want your bike listed at and the lowest price you will accept. We can suggest an asking price, but you will have the final decision. If the bike is currently financed, we will need the lien holder's name and phone number and your account number with them. We will need to see and verify title/registration and insurance on the vehicle. The person(s) whose name(s) are on the title must both sign the consignment agreement unless titled 'or' (ie John or Mary Smith, not John and Mary Smith). The seller will be responsible for any negative equity resulting from a lender's pay off. We may require a deposit to cover this amount when the bike is consigned.
How Does the Consignment Process Work?
First our staff of experience appraisers evaluated your bike and consult industry used bike value guides to set a realistic selling price. If that is acceptable to you we will create the Consignment Agreement and you will sign and, provide a copy of the bike's registration and your insurance card.
Before marketing the bike, we will perform a safety inspection of your vehicle and search for recall notices. If any problems are discovered during the inspection, we will notify you. Bikes with recall notices or that require safety related repairs will not be accepted for consignment until repairs have been made. For motorcycles that are in need of extra cosmetic attention to be prepared for marketing and display, a detailing charge may be accessed. We may make suggestions that could improve the salability of the vehicle (repairs/maintenance), these would be at the expense of the motorcycle owner.
What Happens When My Bike Sells?
When your bike is purchased, we do all the paperwork necessary to transfer ownership to the buyer. When the sale is completed, we will let you know so you can cancel your insurance. You will receive the proceeds from the sale, less our commission and any repairs or fines, within 21 days of the completed sale. Delays make occur when a payoff is made to a lienholder and we must wait until the lienholder sends us the cleared title in order to complete the transaction with the DMV.
