Whether your motorcycle is stored at home or at a facility, our flexible logistics cater to your needs.
What drives donation value
The value of your donated motorcycle is influenced by several factors. For older cruisers, vehicle history is a significant determinant, often outweighing mileage. Popular models like Harley-Davidson maintain their value well, while Japanese cruisers tend to devalue at a slower rate. Sport bikes are closely related to their condition, with well-maintained units fetching higher prices than those that have seen rough handling. Additionally, aftermarket parts can enhance or detract from a bike's value, adding to the complexity of the appraisal process, especially for vintage and custom models.
Documentation you need
- Current title for the motorcycle
- Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) for off-road vehicles
- Service records for maintenance history
- Appraisal for vintage or classic motorcycles
- Bill of sale in lieu of title if applicable
