Bike Sale... So What Am I Doing Wrong?
#10
You wanted honest opinions so I'd make the following points


1) Get rid of the colour and formatting of the advert, it's not necessary. A clean, straight forward advert will help sell the bike.
2) Your price is ok for a dealer but too high for a private sale. I paid a lot less for a great 03 plate 13k mile FZS600 a few months back
3) You say new tyres but you also say they have done 2500 miles, choose one line and drop the other
4) No service history, some may be wary. Got any receipts or anything that might back up the servicing?
5) Drop the bit about the matrimonial issues, you need a car - end of.
6) Slim the whole advert down, if folk are initially interested they will ask about the detail
7) "When I say totally reliable I MEAN it. I would go anywhere on this bike tomorrow without hesitation." again drop this, it's unnecessary and smacks of desperation

Hope you take the above as constructive and good luck with the sale, she looks in great condition. Let the pics speak for themselves except for the cam cover pic that shows corrosion, drop it.
