Selling a Bike ???

[crowe]

Hi all

I'm ready to sell my honda CBR125 soon as i haven't ridden it for over a year (been on the ER5 since passing test). I want to have it MOT'd/Taxed before i sell it but the bike currently has no insurance.

What is the cheapest/best way to go about selling it?

thanks

Hi

You might be able to add it to your current policy as a 2nd bike. However although the premium for this might be cheap they might charge you a hefty admin fee so check first.

Failing that either get a dealers to pick it up and MOT it, get someone with a trailer to take it, get a monthly policy (eg, Ebike) or find someone whose insurance covers them to ride bikes they don't own (although with many companies this would be very dodgy if the bike isn't otherwise insured).

All the best

Cheapest way is to advertise it online or in a local papers. Best way is possibly ebay, but it will cost a little bit.

Am i right in thinking i need insurance documents to get the bike taxed?

if so i'll need some form of insurance (1 month), get the biked moted and then get it taxed right?


I want to be able to sell it with "tax and Tested" status

This is probably the cheapest way: Day Insure. Also, in case you didn't know, you can legally ride to a booked MOT appointment without a valid MOT.

I just got a quote from day-hire for £20 a day and £1000 excess!

I might just get the bike MOTed and not bother with tax as i can tell the selling it's only £15 for tax)

Sound reasonable?
