For normal newer bikes eBay "Local Classified" listing is the best. It's free or nearly free. Looks like any other eBay ad but only visible to people within 200 miles of your location. Most people aren't going to travel more than that far for ordinary bikes anyway. If it were custom or special in some way, you may want to get more exposure, then chopper exchange or the other harley centered ones are good. Joe

Used them all
I have bought and sold 3 Harley's ,couple scooters and three BMWs. They all work if priced right. The price a bit lower than the next guy takes the agrivation away when it sells quickly. When I buy I look for a deal and when I sell give somebody a deal!

Thanks all for the info, listed with sell my hog, next day a guy in my work place made a good offer and bought the bike. At least I know she has a good home, and I gained a friend to ride with. Good ending for all.

I think cycle / auto trader started out with good intentions. However, when I tried to sell my previous bike I was bombarded with 3rd parties harassing me about selling my bike with them for a fee. Not one single interested person called me. The medium that worked for me was eBay classified ads. This is different that the auction site and eBay does not collect a fee from you or the buyer. Everything on there can be listed as "local" and it's free to list.
