How It Works

All motorcycles are assessed in house by us prior to being entered into an auction. The inspection includes:

• Engine
• Engine start
• Transmission 
• Steering
• Warning lights
• Running gear (Chain / belt / drive shaft)

Each vehicle will have a report attached to it (non-runners excluded) detailing any faults, giving additional peace of mind when buying online.

Along with a report each vehicle will have a grading system which will indicate the general condition of the motorcycle. 

The online auction platform was set up with the motor trade in mind. We understand it can sometimes be difficult to leave the dealership for a day to attend an auction.

Our online bidding platform is simple to use with auctions running up to as long as a week. This allows your enough time to decide wether a motorcycle is right for your shop without the pressure of having to bid there and then.

• Live bid - The live bid function allows you to bid up in increments of £100.
• Proxy bid - Leaving a proxy bid means you don’t have to bid live in the sale. You can leave a proxy bid and the system will bid up to this amount for you.

Our bidding platform has been created to be used only by dealerships and traders.

At Bike Bidder we understand as a dealer you don’t always have time to sit and watch an online auction take place let alone be at one physically. 

With this in mind we have created an easy to used online platform that allows you to bid on used stock at your own convenience.

Auctions will be running weekly instead of daily to give you sufficient time to decide whether the bikes available are right for you.

The motorcycle may have minor exterior defects that require SMART repairs, i.e., minor scratches or dents.  Minor replacement parts may also be required these will all be recorded on the appraisal.

The motorcycle may require repairs at Grade 1, plus up to 1 major or minor body shop repair to an individual panel.  The replacement of more significant external trim parts (excluding panels) may also be required.  These will all be recorded on the appraisal.

The motorcycle may require repairs as Grade 1 and 2 plus it may require up to 5 minor body shop repairs, 3 major body shop repairs or a combination of major or minor repairs.  The motorcycle may require 1 replacement panel but not 2.  These will be recorded on the appraisal.

A motorcycle graded U is too uneconomical to appraise. The vehicle will fall into one of the following categories. 

• Substantial accident damage
• Major parts missing
• Multiple recorded items (exceeding the criteria of Grade 3)
• Multiple unrecorded items
• Non-Runner
