Listing your motorcycle for sale on Cycle Trader can vary in price. The price you pay for an ad will include the base price of that package, plus any additional enhancements you might choose.

Having a MyTrader account is the key to managing your listing and communicating with potential buyers.

When you create your Cycle Trader ad, a quality description that is detailed and honest is important for prospective buyers. If you’re having issues creating the perfect description, we’ve included an auto-generated option utilizing AI and the bike details you’ve entered. Just click the AI box in the bottom left of the description field.

In addition to a strong description, including high-quality photos and/or videos will assist buyers in visualizing your bike and showing what condition it’s in.

Only one item and one price are allowed in each ad. Selling multiple items with individual prices is not permitted. You may place an ad with more than one item in it as long as it is stated in the ad description that the multiple items come as a "package deal," and the asking price posted is for all items being sold.
