Want to be able to see your dirt bike successfully? Here is a list of ideas compiled from my experience in selling over 20 dirt bikes in the past few years along with some help from my facebook and instagram followers.
1 - Get it clean. Like show room clean. Take parts off the bike and wash them. Clean air filter. Clean oil.
2 - Take great pictures in good lighting. The More the better. Clean back ground too. Not a messy garage!
3 - Tell your network of friends that you are selling. Might find a buyer just like that whom you already know.
4 - List the bike in multiple places (KSL for Utah and Idaho, Facebook, Instagram, Craigslist, etc)
5 - Realize that no one cares about your aftermarket parts, sure it’s okay to list them, but realize they don’t make the bike worth more. They may help it to sell quicker, but 2K worth of parts on your bike makes it worth about $100 more than a bike without those parts.
6 - Be honest in the listing. Talk about your maintenance routine in the ad. What hour mark did you do “x” thing. Keep receipts on service done. If something is wrong or needs to be done, be up front about it. This will help your credibility with the buyer.
7 - Don’t negotiate too much over text. A little is fine. Personal presence is power. Encourage them to view the bike in person.
8 - Timing. Just before the season starts or in the beginning of the season will help get a quicker result and a better price.
9 - New Levers and grips. They are cheap and will go a long way.
10 - Look at the market and price your bike accordingly. Know that there is a difference between everyone’s “asking price” and their actually selling price. Know that you are going to lose money.
11 - Consider new plastic kit if yours is bad. Those run about $100 - $150 and can do wonders for how your bike looks. Be careful with this one though because it may cause the potential buyer to wonder what you are hiding from them.
