My newest business: Anyone want to beat on my website?

Motolist.com The World's Best FREE Motorcycle Classifieds

Especially for you bike guys... we're still in Beta, but its pretty close. If any of you want to register, login, create listings, browse, etc, your feedback would be much appreciated

For now, there are just a few dummy listings in the Street Motorcycles / Aprilia section. Feel free to create anything/anywhere. We'll delete everything, including your user profiles in the next week or so.

Edit:

If I can get 20 people to actually register and add a product (as the admin I get to see this stuff), and give me some useful feedback, I'll make a $50 donation to the Roadracing World Action Fund for soft barrier deployment in the name of Pelican Parts Off-Topic

I assume you already know your competitors - including Sprocketlist.com, which are the same guys running racingjunk.com.

Sure do.... their sites are a mess. We're trying to improve the user experience.

Cool. I do like how you have the manufacturers/brands listed right up front and easy to find.

Needs a zip code thing. I live on the edge of a lot of states.
The light blue hurts my eyes. Really.

We have an Other section for various makes & models. Bultaco can't have its own section, since its been so long since they were made.

Agreed.... distance searching is something we are working on.

The blue is too light and hard to see? Anyone else think this? Looks great on my Apple display

Noted, thanks.

BTW, when clicking around, you may inadvertently see the wrong 'home' page. It will have the 50 US states listed on the left side and will look ridiculously busy. This is a nature of the beta site and will not see production. Clicking on any link will get rid of this page.

I can't get past the shipping and handling field even though I enter an amount.

I didn't really like having to click the upload after selecting a photo.

Cool. How about isolating the year or allow year range in addition to the zip code and distance to for sorting or searching.

Yeah, that bugs me, too.

We still need to fix the default values in the price fields.
