Where is the best place to sell a used Motorcycle?
Recent testimonials from advertisers on MCN Bikes for Sale:
"The web site was very easy to use, and it felt safe and secure. I sold my bike within a day or two of the advert being published. I will be using you again should I sell my new bike in the future."
- James P, May 2012
"I chose MCN to sell my pride and joy, and on the third week sold very close to my asking price. My bike has now gone to a real enthusiast, and I am very happy indeed. One week nationally printed in the paper and 6 weeks online publication, catagorised, theft checked, warranted and covered for breakdown is exceptional value for the fee, which in my experience will always attract real bikers and honest people. I am now seeking my next used bike in the safe hands of MCN"
- Chris B, May 2012
"Thank you for the service provided by Motor Cycle News during the recent sale of my Africa Twin. The instruction & advice given on price, description, photo's etc. were clear & concise which resulted in the ad being eye catching. I had numerous enquiries about my bike throughout the six week run of the ad, even getting enquires on the last day, which I think shows that the internet is a very good way of reaching a large & varied number of people. I successfully sold the bike on 12 May with both myself & the new owner very happy indeed. I will certainly use your service again should the need arise & I will thoroughly recommend you to anyone else wishing to sell their bikes as it is excellent value for money as well. Thanks again for everything."
- Arfon J, May 2012
"I’m impressed with MCN as a tool for selling. The cost is good and you get a lot of text, plus it has telephone number screening. Also, changing ad text mid-term has always been painless. The search engine is good and it’s nice to be in a well recognised environment such as MCN."
- Julian J, April 2012
"The service I recieved from MCN Sales staff was excellent, helping to upload pictures and ad changes halfway through
website duration - I would recommend MCN to anybody wanting to sell their bike."
- Christopher B, April 2012
"Just like to say how pleased I was with the speed in which my Suzuki DR350 sold using the MCN classified on their website, the bike was sold within 2 hours of listing. I continued to have at least another 20 enquiries for the bike. The bike was sold for more or less the full asking price, so no time wasters. The MCN fees were very reasonable considering the fee for my local paper was the same price and the fee on eBay would have been at least 10% the sale price of the bike. Many thanks to MCN"
- Simon H, Lakes and Lochs Motorcycle Tours, Apr 2012
"My Ducati 900SS sold within 3 days of going live with MCN. The process of placing and paying for the advert was clear and straightforward, and the associated charges fair & reasonable. I believe MCN gives you direct access to genuine motorcycle enthusiasts who are the people I want to deal with. Would definately use your service again. Thanks!"
- Karl M, Mar 2012
"Great site, used it to sell most of my bikes I have had over the years (going on to my 16th). It's just a nicely laid out site and the staff are helpful if you have any problems which is a rare occurrence. You can't go wrong."
- Ian F, Mar 2012
"I chose MCN to advertise my Triumph Tiger as I had used this service some years back to sell my previous motorcycle, and just as then I found that I received genuine interest from potential buyers, with the first gentleman who came to see my motorcycle actually buying it from me there and then (for the full advertised price.) In fact the new owner had travelled around 140 miles to view my Tiger. In a nut shell, with the classified section in MCN you reach a large number of GENUINE motorcycle enthusiasts who know exactly what they are looking for and when you have the motorcycle that matches their wish list, then it is a simple transaction. This said, it does not make it easier watching your pride & joy being ridden off by the new owner. Many thanks again."
- James M, Mar 2012
"Another successful sale through motorcycle news! Excellent communication"
- Mike A, Mar 2012
"The website is very quick and easy to use to set up an advertisement. It was extremely effective for me, my bike sold within 4 days"
- Ian J, Mar 2012
"Brilliant service for selling, the buyer had full confidence in the bike before he arrived because of the security/checking of the ad prior to publication. This is also a testimony of how far the paper reaches."
- Mike A, Mar 2012
"I'd would like to thank MCN for being a great service provider. Selling a motorcycle for the first time can be a daunting experience. All the suggestions and good sales advice plus the security element instills an air of confidence. I had three bikes in my garage and decided to let two of them go, sob! This is the second bike that I have sold in the last month, both of them within a week of going into the MCN tabloid paper. The new buyers responded to the email adverts first. I used both the MCN paper and the fabulous web-site to research and then fix a fair price to advertise the bikes.Thanks once again for the great service you provide. 5***** just like the editorial comment in your news paper."
- Brian O, Mar 2012
"The service was great - Easy to use, a really quick and simply way to advertise a bike for sale, can't argue with the price either. I can't fault selling the bike two days after the ad went live on the website! I'm glad I chose MCN to advertise with and would recommend it to anyone."
- Phil S, Feb 2012
"MCN was quick, easy to use and competitively priced - made the decision between MCN and BikeTrader easy."
- Paul B, Feb 2012
"I had over 20 calls and e-mails on the first day alone and sold to the first person to view. I took advantage of all the tips provided by MCN right down to the ‘contract for sale’. And the whole process of submitting an advert was idiot proof – step by step simplicity. I was surprised but delighted by the response – clearly the MCN online site is a great shop window"
- Allan E, Feb 2012
"Very pleased with MCN's service. Easy and cost effective to place ad. I think the site appeals to bikers and has resulted in a quick sale for a good price. Thank you!"
- Mark W, Feb 2012
"It helped me sell my bike effectively with a reasonable advertising cost and it has also helped me find my next bike. Having the website and weekly newspaper gives MCN the edge when it comes to buying or selling a bike with its huge following, so why would you consider advertising elsewhere? Thanks."
- Martin K, Feb 2012
"I've always had a real phobia about selling cars or bikes from home, but I've now sold not one bike but two through MCN. In each case the buyers were nice genuine people who didn't mess me around. My view is that buyers are given reassurance by the checks MCN carry out and although the majority of bikes I've bought have been new I would happily buy one advertised on your site because of your safeguards. Thanks for your help and keep up the good work in promoting all that's great about bikes."
- Steve C, Feb 2012
"Thanks for an excellent service. It was easy to set up my advert as the website had lots of tips and useful information. The price was very reasonable and the ad was clearly effective as the bike was sold the day after it was posted! Thanks again - a great service all round."
- Tony R, Jan 2012
"I've been very impressed with the service offered by MCN, especially considering the very reasonable price. The customer service has always been prompt and effective. Don't change!"
- Tim F, Jan 2012
"MCN was a great choice to sell my machine. Easy to go online and the advert was up an running within 24 hours. It was cheaper than the other sites, offered more web time and a printed advert in their popular paper. The resulting advert looked great but the cherry on the cake was the filtering of the responses ensuring I only got the genuine buyers calling. All in all a great service. Thankyou!"
- Rev'd Cole M, Jan 2012
"Very good value for money, I've made a quick sale so very happy."
- Stephen C, Jan 2012
"I was very pleased with the service. Having tried the free Gumtree route without success I realised I needed to part with some cash to hit the right audience. MCN seemed much better value than AutoTrader and proved to be the right choice. I sold my bike within 3 weeks of placing the advert and got a fair price for it, even though it wasn't the best time of year to be selling."
- Justin S, Jan 2012
"I was delighted with the process of selling my bike with Motorcycle News. It was easy to upload pictures and good value. I had two people interested in my bike, and one bought it (within 5% of my original asking price). This was pretty good considering it was December, not the best time for bike sales! I also advertised my bike on a competitor site at the same time, but that didn't yield any interest at all. Overall, I'd thoroughly recommend Motorcycle News if you want to sell your bike quickly, easily and cheaply."
- Pete K, Dec 2011
“Sold the bike now, thanks to the excellent sales service provided by MCN.”
- Tim C, Nov 2011
“Bike advertised one week, gone the next! MCN offers competitive advert prices in a place where you know thousands of other bikers are looking. I also used MCN compare to find the cheapest quote for my insurance of my new bike. All round good service and very simple to use. Would recommend MCN to all people looking to sell their old bike and insure their new one!”
- Ollie R, Oct 2011
“This is the second motorcycle that I have sold using MCN. On both occasions the bikes were sold via the internet ad – before they were published in the paper. I would not hesitate in using MCN again in the future for buying and selling. The ad rates represent good value when considering the exposure.”
- Simon B, Oct 2011
"My experience with MCN has been excellent. As well as selling my bike, I also bought a BMW1200RT SE last weekend. The seller placed the advert on a Sunday, I saw it on the Tuesday and then went to see the bike and then bought it on the Wednesday. I understand that in the week between agreeing to buy the bike and picking it up last Saturday the seller had six other enquirer’s."
- Alastair K, Oct 2011
"I purchased and sold my bike through your site and was very satisfied."
- Robert B, Oct 2011
"I found the site easy to use and to upload photos. The bike sold through the web and was bought straight away with the buyer coming the following week. We had other interested parties which I contacted saying the bike had been sold. I think using the web page is great as a lot of people can find what they want quickly. I would recommend it to everyone."
- Alan H, Oct 2011
"Placing an ad with your paper was really easy and the price was realistic, giving us hits on the web and also in your great weekly paper. Everyone is happy on the quick sale apart from my husband who didn’t really like seeing his bike being driven away. (some good memories on it!)"
- Joanna G, Sep 2011
"I don’t think I can suggest further improvement to your service, in my experience it did exactly what it said on the tin! This is the second machine I’ve sold through your site - Thank you"
- Alistair B, September 2011
"Very prompt and efficient way of selling my bike. No timewasters, but I did receive a couple of offers from scammers, which thanks to your tips and hints for sellers, were very easy to spot. Will definitely use the service again!"
- Andrew T, September 2011
"Superb service, quick replies to emails etc., good price for advert. I spent £60 on Biketrader before using you guys, and got no views. Will most certainly use your site first next time I sell something. Thanks!"
- Ross, September 2011
"I've now sold my motorcycle and was very impressed with the amount of traffic generated through the advert on MCN, so I'll definitely be recommending the site to my friends next time they want to sell a motorcycle."
- Jason C, September 2011
"I found the online process to be extremely straightforward and painless. I had eighteen responses to the first two weeks of the advert which seemed to me to be very good. When my buyer arrived I was pleasantly surprised to find that using MCN to purchase a bike provides the buyer with a range of useful free benefits and assurances! That has to be a bonus worth having! All-in-all, I would say that using MCN to sell my bike was well worth the money, was hassle-free and would recommend the service to anyone wanting to sell a motorbike as the adverts reach nationwide."
- Joe Q, September 2011
"Having studied 'the form' for a few weeks to make a realistic assessment of the market value of my bike I advertised it with MCN. It took all of 10 minutes, start to finish and the bike was sold to the first customer in the first week for the full asking price. Phone has never stopped. Outstanding service from MCN classifieds. A very happy seller and a very happy buyer. Why go anywhere else to buy and sell?"
- David S, August 2011
"Excellent result – sold within 6 days at very close to asking price. Thank you very much!"
- Nigel S, August 2011.
"Placing an ad with MCN was easy, intuitive and quick; my bike was on the web within hours and I had my first calls the next day. The ad was easy to edit, so I could update it at will, and so increase the chances of a sale."
- David R, August 2011
"I found the MCN webad service very simple to use, uploading my bike details and photo was very straightforward and the options available were clearly explained. I chose the highlighted ad and received a phone call which resulted in the successful sale of my bike within hours of the ad going live.The site also contained very useful information for both seller and buyer on how to safely and successfully sell or buy a bike and the privacy and security options were appreciated by both myself and my buyer. The service exceeded my expectations and was excellent value for money. I sold my bike on the first day for very nearly the asking price. So much better than if I had taken it to a dealer.So thank you MCN and very satisfied customer"
- Sue C, August 2011
"I sold two bikes with MCN Web Ads. I took out the standard package of 1 week and both bikes sold. I had a number of calls/mails regarding both bikes. All very simple to do with no problems. All in all a fast and efficient service."
- Mark B, July 2011
"Just a short note to say how much I appreciated your help in selling my bike from the speed of getting the advert in place on your website to the follow-up courtesy emails to make sure everything was ok. MCN is definately the place to sell a bike quickly and I am more than happy to recommend it to anyone with a bike to sell...my next bike to sell will be on MCN very soon..."
- Mike G, July 2011
"As regards the service I received from MCN I couldn't be happier. I had been reluctant to place the ad as I had expected to receive nuisance calls, however I am pleased to report that I only received genuine enquires, I think the number screening option is a fantastic idea. I received the first telephone enquiry within 36hrs of placing the ad and a day later the guy had been and completed the transaction - sold to the first caller. Other enquires quickly followed. All in all a super experience, way better than I have previously had using other media. I will DEFINITELY recommend MCN and will use again in the future."
- Simon S, July 2011
"The bike was sold through MCN right away"
- Tony T, July 2011

- John-Paul P, July 2011

I have a RS 250 on the web at the moment and have a gentleman coming from London tomorrow to buy it. I would like to thank the team for making the web site easy to use. You are by far the best way to sell a motorcycle fast”
- John W, July 2011

- Kevin T, July 2011
“The upload of photos and completion of the prompted ad form are really helpful. I'm now looking for a replacement and in truth there is only one place to look - MCN!”
- Mike, June 2011
“I was very impressed with the ease and efficiency of the advertising process and the advice available on pricing along with the cautions on scammers. Also liked the availability of the forwarding telephone number and masked email facility. The cost was not prohibitive either!”

"MCN is always the first web site I consider when thinking "BIKE". The News is well put together and covers many areas. The bike reviews are first class and professionally written, with added photos and videos. They have helped me with my choices. User reviews are also very helpful. I have now sold 3 bikes and bought 3 bikes through MCN. It clearly reaches the right audience. The selling process is easy and reliable. Details and pictures have now become so easy to download and amend. Your communication system is excellent. The responses are immediate and reassuring, to give great confidence. Your advertising prices are very reasonable. (Please don't increase them though, as a result of this praise!) All this combines to make a great trustworthy and reliable site, which I will continue to use regularly. Whenever I have a spare moment, it's good to log on to MCN. I hope your success continues. Thanks to the team and 'WELL DONE'."
- Colin W, May 2011

- Vicki S, April 2011
"After 18 wasted days on eBay I put the bike on MCN and got a phone call within a couple of hours, deposit the following morning and the bike collected and paid for within 48hours. And whats more for half the fees that eBay was costing! Staff very friendly, helpful and quick to respond. Will definitely be using in the future - brilliant service!"
- Selina M, April 2011
"Just a quick note to say thank you to all at MCN for the excellent service provided and the ease of use of the site. I was a bit concerned with trying to sell my BMW R 1200 GS as I haven't used MCN for some time. Should not have worried - One photo, quick description of bike, press a few buttons, and bingo! on the web Friday. Bike sold Sunday morning and had to switch off the phone due to the volume of calls. Brilliant! I will definitely use again as should everyone else thinking of selling their bike."
- Andy N, April 2011
"The service was very easy to use, the advert was easy to set up and I've had calls and emails every day since the ad went live. The reason I've contacted you is to ask you to take the ad off because even though I've sold the bike my phone won't stop ringing!"
- Danny J, April 2011
"The rates on offer are far more competitive than the competitors in the market and the advert appeared on time exactly as I wished. The response was almost instant and very succesful, resulting in an immediate sale. A far quicker and more succesful service than I have received in the past from your competitors!
- Leo C, April 2011

- Ron N, April 2011

- Stephen G, March 2011

- Keith P, February 2011
"The MCN service has been excellent. I was amazed at how quickly I sold my CB500 and the number of enquiries I received. The advert was simple to place, appeared promptly on the site, clearly reached a large number of people and then was equally promptly cancelled when the bike was sold. Good value for money."
- Malcolm M, February 2011
"The advert was successful and the bike sold quickly, so thank you. Overall if I had another bike to sell I would use MCN again."
- Peter F, February 2011
"I found the service very satisfactory. It was very straightforward to place the ad, and it represented good value, and reached a wide audience. In fact I ended up selling the bike to someone from Germany who had seen the ad. I was happy with the price received, which was reasonably close to my asking price. I also received a response very speedily when I had to cancel the ad due to concluding the sale earlier than expected. I would certainly use the MCN service again, and recommend it to others wishing to sell motorbikes."
- Tim S, Lampeter. January 2011
"I thought the service was simple to use, efficient and value for money, it allowed me to advertise my bike to a large section of the biking community culminating in a large number of enquiries. As a result I was able to obtain the best price for my bike. I was particularly happy with the secure telephone system which totally eliminated canvassing and other nuisance calls. The ultimate test is, would I use the service again and the answer is a definite yes."
- Geoff A, January 2011
