Where should I sell my motorcycle? Like websites and stuff?

We have a wonderful classifieds section here on this board. check out the For Sale section rules, then post your bike in there. make sure that you include all necessary information like:

Make and model of the bike, including year
Where you are located
condition of the bike
how much you are asking for the bike
any modifications/aftermarket parts on the bike
Pictures if you have any are also a good thing to include in the post, or a link to where those pictures are hosted (if hosted online)

Other options include your local newspaper, local autotrader magazines/papers (check to see if Trader Publications has a local branch in your area - I believe they have very low ad costs, if not free)
Craigslist
EBay

good luck

If Craig's List supports your area, I would give that a try. You have nothing to loose, it's free. I sold my first bike on there and purchased my second. I have also found other items on there. It's great!

The last two are spot on. Trader publications and Craigslist are the best places to advertise. I helped a couple of friends buy and sell over the summer and those two resources were all it took. Most other options, like other internet sale sites and local papers, don't get enough traffic to efficiently connect you with a buyer.
