How to sell a Motorcycle in Sydney
Service the bike before listing
Fresh oil, clean air filter, adjusted chain and fresh brake fluid show buyers the bike has been cared for and justify a higher asking price.
Check and document LAMS status
LAMS eligibility is a major selling point for sub-660cc bikes. Verify on your state authority's website and include this in your listing.
Post on GOT ONE? targeting your buyer type
