You'll want to make sure you know the exact value of the motorcycle so you know what you'll list as the selling price. One way of determining the proper asking price is to have it appraised. This will tell the value of your motorcycle so that you can plan accordingly.

Finally, be persistent. If it doesn't sell the first time around, try again. You're chances of selling are going to increase if you stick with it and don't give up. Hard work and determination will help you sell your used motorcycle.
