​

What motorcycles does Bike Worth buy?

​

We buy most major motorcycle brands, including:

BMW, Honda, Yamaha, CFMOTO, QJMotor, Kawasaki, Suzuki, KTM, Triumph, Harley-Davidson, Ducati and others.

We are particularly interested in motorcycles that have been properly maintained and have a clear, documented history.

However, we do not assume that a motorcycle is worth buying simply because it is a popular brand or model.

Every motorcycle has to make sense as a purchase.

​

What do we look at when buying a motorcycle?

​

Before making an offer, we consider the overall condition and history of the motorcycle.

This can include:

• Make and model

• Year

• Mileage

• Service history

• Service invoices and supporting documentation

• Number of previous owners

• Mechanical condition

• Cosmetic condition

• Accident or repair history

• Repainting or rebuilt areas

• Registration and ownership information

• Finance status

• Number of keys

• Service books and manuals

• Accessories and modifications

• Overall marketability

This is important because Bike Worth does not simply buy a motorcycle and hope that someone else will want it.

We buy motorcycles to supply to motorcycle dealers, so we have to understand what we are buying before we commit to it. To learn more you could read {Preparing your motorcycle for sale}

​

Why does that matter to a Johannesburg seller?

​

A motorcycle can look excellent at first glance and still have problems that are not immediately obvious.

Our business involves seeing a large number of motorcycles. Some are exactly what we are looking for. Others look promising until their history, condition or documentation is examined more closely.

Over time, that gives us a practical understanding of the risks involved in buying used motorcycles.

It also means that when we make an offer, we have already considered the risks associated with the motorcycle.

​

Can I sell my motorcycle without advertising it privately?

​

Yes.

You do not have to create an advertisement, arrange appointments with strangers, negotiate repeatedly or wait for someone to decide whether they want your motorcycle.

You can send us the details of your motorcycle first.

We will then establish whether it is something we are interested in buying.

If it is, we can move forward with the assessment and offer process.

 

What happens when I contact Bike Worth?

The process is straightforward.

1. Tell us about your motorcycle

Submit your motorcycle details through our enquiry form.

We will need information such as the make, model, year and mileage.

2. Send photographs

Photographs allow us to get an initial understanding of the motorcycle before arranging the next step.

3. We discuss the motorcycle with you

We may ask questions about its condition, history, servicing, ownership and any repairs or modifications.

4. We make an offer

If the motorcycle is suitable for our buying requirements, we can make an offer based on the information available.

5. We inspect the motorcycle

Before completing the purchase, the motorcycle must satisfy our inspection requirements.

6. Payment and paperwork

Once everything is agreed and the required documentation has been completed, we proceed with the purchase and payment.

Where applicable, we can also deal with the settlement of outstanding motorcycle finance.

What should I have ready before selling?

The more information you can provide, the easier it is to assess your motorcycle accurately.

If available, have the following ready:

• Registration documentation

• Service book

• Service invoices

• Vehicle identification details

• Spare keys

• Owner's manual

• Finance settlement information

• Details of previous repairs or accidents

• Information about modifications

And be honest about the motorcycle's condition.

If something has been repaired, repainted, damaged or modified, telling us at the beginning is far better than allowing it to become an issue later.

Is selling privately always better?

Not necessarily.

A private advertisement may appear to offer the opportunity to achieve a higher price, but the advertised price is not the same thing as the completed sale.

Selling privately can involve:

• Advertising

• Answering enquiries

• Arranging viewings

• Dealing with people who are not serious buyers

• Negotiating

• Managing payment

• Handling paperwork

• Waiting for the right buyer

There is also the question of time and risk.

For some sellers, a direct purchase is simply a more convenient way to turn a motorcycle into money without managing the entire private-sale process themselves.

Why Bike Worth?

We are not simply looking for motorcycles that are easy to sell.

Our role is to identify motorcycles that make sense for our dealer network.

That means we have to look carefully at condition, history, documentation and marketability before buying.

Our experience comes from seeing both sides of the used motorcycle market — motorcycles that are good purchases and motorcycles that we have had to walk away from.

That experience helps us identify problems before they become somebody else's problem.
