Several people are having issues selling their bikes, here is what I consider as legit:
- At least six good quality images with good lighting (all sides + odometer + vin)
- Details (cosmetic + maintenance)
- Listed on multiple sites (Kijiji, Autotrader, Craigslist)
I ignore all other ads as the seller is most likely too lazy (reflects on the maintenance on the bike) or fake ads (seller trying to make their prices look competitive).
Example of bikes to stay clear of. Several Ducati owners purchased a base model bike brand new for 20K and are trying to sell it 7 years later for 14K. No maintenance on the bike has ever been done including:
- changed belts
- check/adjust valves
- coolant
- brake/clutch fluid
- tires
- fork fluid/seals
- battery
The seller considers the bike "MINT" however it requires more than $2500 worth of maintenance (at a reputable Ducati dealer).
