Where do people sell bikes these days?!
E-bay? Bike trader? Where else?

I'm trying to find a Z1000, but there only seam to be about 3 for sale within 50miles of Newbury!

Can't you travel further then 50 miles? That's probably filtering out most of the bikes for sale.

agreed 50miles really isn't car.

i used to commute 27miles and wouldn't think of going further for the right bike.

i found both my 125 and my 250 on www.preloved.co.uk.
both appeared to be bargains too, some people would rather sell on there than ebay now it seems

+1 for eBay, I just sold my CBR600 on there. Took me two attempts to get the money I wanted, but got there in the end!

There are an awful lot of people browsing bikes on eBay, it's a good place to look, and a good place to buy because there are a lot on there.

Failing that, Bike Trader is still the favourite I believe.

Gumtree is good for a bargin,

some people list bikes there as they dont want to pay the ebay fees 1st, so you can sometimes get a bargin Smile

Agreed with Gumtree, I just got a bargain R6 from there.
Was also looking through ebay and pistonheads mostly when trying to find a bike, biketrader is ok as well. MCN didnt really have much in my area.

Thinking maybe that's the sort of useful information that lots of people would want to know.
Thinking where would you store such information on a forum? Well, in a 'sticky' thread would make sense. Oh look Exclamation there's one at the top of the forum, I wonder what it contains Question.
Surprised what's this, it contains a link to a thread called 'Where to buy/sell bikes'? Wow, how useful is that Smile.

Don't be silly. That would require 20 second's worth of thought, when for another 10 seconds you can ask the question and be spoon fed Smile

There's 13 within 40 miles of Reading on AutoTrader. You're clearly being too picky!

Advertised mine on Pistonheads (free), BCF (free) and mcn (cost about a tenner).

I ended up selling it through piston heads.
