I have 1977 Cafe Racer with under 1000 miles on it that my dad left me. I can no longer ride it and am planning on selling it but not sure the best place to do it. Its 2 owners. Just my Dad and I.

Guessing that's a Honda? Maybe a Harley since this is a Harleyforum.. Ebay, Craigslist, and Facebook Market.

Do your home work on an asking price. Be slow and diligent.

Get a picture of their license and vehicle tag. If their reluctant, politely wait for next customer

Refuse to be drawn into doing anything but local sale. All transaction during the day at your bank at the teller window.

Cash only and let the teller inspect it. Then turn over title.

Be very cautious about letting someone ride it.

Bikes are sorta sticky to sale safely. Good luck.

IIRC, the XLCR was a one-year only?

mmm I thought 77-79? I watch them when they sell.. I’d say depending on condition and originality somewhere between 8k and 15k.

OP you might even contact Wheels Through Time about it. Here is theirs:

Ebay of Bring a Trailer seem to get the best money. But an ad in the AMCA magazine may also be a good idea.
