Snapped up - easily.
The ad was easy to construct and allowed me plenty of text space to present an ad that I hoped would give the viewer a good summary of the bike and it's capabilities.
Photos were easy to load up, but I did take my time to take the range of detailed photos that I look for when browsing. I chose not to do a video.
I advertised with bikesales.com because I believe it to be the "go to" site for the advertising of used motorcycles, for most riders. The quality of the ad does give an indication of the qualities of the owner, in my opinion. The bikesales ad format does allow for the bike to present well to viewers.
The first week report on my ad was very surprising in terms of statistics. I was happy to see the activity was very high. That said, there was only one sincere enquirer that contacted me repeatedly within days of my ad listing. He was extremely determined in his efforts to negotiate the price down, even before he'd seen the bike, or ridden it.
The next genuine enquiry came from its new owner. He came, he saw, he rode, he paid full asking price, and the funds were in my account within 24 hours.

A good platform for buyer and seller
I was able to provide full details of the motorbike for sale. The process was easy. Potential buyers had detailed and sufficient information to focus their search. I only received well-informed serious enquiries. This resulted in an easy and efficient sale for buyer and seller. Recommended.

Quick and easy
Quick and easy, good analytics showing how many are accessing and inquiring about your bike and ultimately sold in no time at all.

Great experience, easy posting, professional website
My bike sold within 2 months at a reasonable price. Posting was very easy. Much cheaper to sell than on ebay, and better than facebook in terms of what people expect (too much low negotiating on facebook, and people not seriously interested). One thing that didn't work so well was when I received messages on the ad. To avoid notifications that weren't important I disabled notifications on my phone for the app. I would have to check my messages on the app or website because I didn't get notified with messages. I think a good option would be to switch off notifications for everything but messages (Maybe this is a thing but I didn't find it).
Overall pleased with the experience and would recommend!

Too many timewasters and scammers
The volume of time wasters and scammers on this platform exceeds the effort made by Bikesales to prevent this. For this reason I cannot recommend Bikesales to others. If my ad was free I would have less of an expectation but in the case of Bikesales I have paid for a service that in my view should include making every effort to keep timewasters and scammers off the platform or at least acknowledge the problem.

Very simple
Very simple, straightforward & sold very quickly. To someone who sounds like a nice bloke, which is important!
I wasn't impressed with the money paid for the basic package... very little coverage
The basic paid selling experience is expensive for not much. It is only worthwhile if you pay premium selling fees, but alot of money for less expensive items.

Extremely quick sale.
The process of creating the ad was very easy to follow and the bike was sold within a week. Great value for money. Loved it.

20 plus vehicles sold now!
This was my 7th or 8th bike sold through bikesales apart from our last 12 or so cars, plus 2 boats. Whilst the price to advertise has crept up, it is well justified in my opinion due to the improved product and functionality of the website for both sellers and buyers. There is simply no competition to the carsales group. Keep improving and I expect market domination will continue. Go you good thing!

Have been listed on FB for months and only got crappy enquiries. Listed on Bikesales and only take a week to have it sold!

Very expensive and did not yield a sale. I received 3 scammers and a few people asking and offering well below market value it simply not answering once they touched base. Not sure if I will use this platform again. I sold my bike on a free Ad.... Marketplace... I'd actually like my money back to be honest.

Really easy to deal with
Really easy to deal with, and got a lot of interest in the bike across a good spread of time (not just when it was first placed but also weeks later).

Happy Vendor
Sold my bike in 5 days, thank you Bikesales. Found your site very easy to navigate with more than adequate advertising options and reasonably priced.
