We Buy Any Motorbike: Sell Yours in 24 Hours (No Tyre Kickers Required)

Selling a motorbike privately sounds simple until you're three weeks in. The photos are taken, your phone won't stop buzzing, and someone has just offered half your asking price "for a quick sale". Sound familiar?

There's an easier way. At BigMoto, we buy any motorbike, and we can often turn a quote into cash within a day or two. No haggling on the driveway, no listing fees and no strangers asking for a test ride. Here's how it works and what to expect.

We buy any motorbike: what does that actually mean?

It means exactly what it says. Sports bikes, cruisers, scooters, tourers, adventure bikes and roadsters are all fair game, from Honda and Yamaha to BMW, Ducati and Harley-Davidson. Age, mileage and condition won't rule you out. Whether it's a nearly new machine that's barely left your garage or a much-loved, high-mileage classic, you'll get a price.

Our valuations come from real-time UK market data and our team's experience, so the figure reflects what your bike is worth today, not a number plucked from thin air. And if you don't like the offer, there's no obligation. We promise not to take it personally.

How to sell your motorbike to BigMoto in four steps

1. Get your valuation. Enter your registration number and mileage to get a free, instant offer.

2. Confirm your sale. Accept online or over the phone.

3. Schedule collection. In many cases, we can collect the very next day. Prefer to drop it off? You can do that instead.

4. Get paid. We send the money by secure bank transfer with no hidden fees, and we handle all the ownership paperwork.

Three tips to get the best price

• Have your paperwork ready. Service history and documents make the process smoother.

• Be honest about condition. Scratches, quirks and all. It avoids surprises at inspection.

• Check your settlement figure if the bike is still on finance (more on that below).

Why selling to BigMoto beats a private sale

Time is the big one. A private sale can drag on for weeks, while we can usually complete the whole process in 24 to 48 hours. You also skip the listing fees, the time-wasters and the DIY paperwork. Because you get a fixed price upfront, there's no driveway haggling and no risk of scammers.

The used bike market moves quickly, too, so a valuation that's good today may look different next month. If you're thinking about selling, checking now costs you nothing.

Motorbikes on finance: what you need to know

Finance questions come up a lot, and they usually fall into two camps. Let's cover both.

Buying motorbikes on finance. Finance lets you spread the cost of a bike over monthly payments instead of paying everything upfront. At BigMoto, we work with a network of UK lenders to find options that suit your circumstances, including for riders with poor credit. Rates start from 12.9% APR.

As a representative example for Hire Purchase, borrowing £4,500 over 48 months at a representative APR of 19.9% (fixed), with no deposit, would mean monthly payments of £132.86 and a total amount payable of £6,377.28.

Selling a bike that's still on finance. This is more common than you'd think, and it's not a dealbreaker. Tell us the settlement figure from your lender, and in some cases we can settle the finance directly with them as part of the deal.

Part exchange. If you're upgrading, you can put your bike's value towards your next one. If you choose finance as well, it can help lower your monthly payments.

Thinking about your next ride?

Selling is only half the story. We typically have over 500 bikes in stock, from 50cc scooters to superbikes. Every bike is thoroughly checked and comes with a warranty you can extend to 24 months. If you buy through a distance sale, you get 14 days to return it, and we deliver across the UK.
