I`m aware that the market picks up once summer approaches but do good bikes still sell easy throughout the rest of the year?

for example....if i was selling a mint low mileage 6rr and i started advertising it at the end of the year when it was officially winter...would there still be a good chance it`d sell or not?

If its a good bike it will sell.

Its more a case of you won't get the same as you may have done earlier in the year.

As iooi says the market naturally depresses over winter as there are more bikes on the market, and people aren't thinking about riding.

Put it up now if you want to get the best price, then wait to buy until christmas time for a good deal.(If you can)

how exactly would i do that?

do you mean i should advertise it,find a buyer,then take a deposit and tell him he can`t have it for 3-4 months?
I can`t see anyone going for that idea tbh Very Happy

or am i misunderstanding what you`ve said?

That's precisely what I mean Mr Everready, means you'll be bikeless for a few months, so if you don't have other transport it's not feasible.

comprendez.... Very Happy Embarassed

If i sell the 6rr i`ll be using the proceeds to go towards a car so won`t be buying another bike this year.
I`ve got an older cb500 tucked away that i usually only use for long commutes so i`d have to satisfy my biking urges on that until i could afford another decent sportsbike.
It`s boring as hell and it sucks to look at but it`d be better than nothing i suppose.
