And sell it soon! To be fair, I've only bought two this year... so far!

I have to say, Simon, that your turnover of (hundreds?) of motorcycles intrigues me. From my own limited experience of buying and selling (certainly in comparison to yours), buying is easy enough (assuming of course that you have the readies) but selling is a different kettle of piscatorial creatures entirely, plagued by tyre-kickers, dreamers, would-be hagglers and the downright deranged, yet you seem able to move 'em on whenever the fancy takes you. What's the secret?

I find that if you ask a reasonable price for your bike, or are even prepared to take a loss, you can sell them on reasonably easy.

Tyre kickers / hagglers can be a pain, but if I agree a price with a buyer and they turn up and try and haggle, more often than not I decline the offer.

Who needs a signature anyway......

Re: For Brickboy

You're right, Al. Especially at the moment it really isn't possible to sell at all and have anything much to show for it. I thought my V Strom was an absolute steal earlier this year but I know that it would now only sell for two thirds of what was a bargain price then

I posted the other day about the price of Velocettes. It's a brilliant time to buy now as prices seem to be collapsing. Sadly, I can't really think of anything I want and don't want a third bike anyway.
