Places to sell motorcycles?

I've decided to sell my sport bike since I essentially never ride it, and have it listed on the local CL and on a large Honda forum that has a lot of bikes for sale (it's also a Honda).

Had it listed for a month at what I considered a fair price based on comparable bikes for sale, and have gotten little interest.

Are there any other good places to list bikes? I'd rather not deal with eBay but I'm not 100% against it. I see that as more of a last resort.

A clean bike in prime riding conditions should be an easy sell, no?

Cycletrader.com and advrider.com. I want to trade up to a K1300S, but am just too lazy and in love with my GS to do more than list on local CL.

craigslist is a buyers market, buyers are looking for deals below retail or nada value

Doesn't one of the Pelicans run an upscale motorcycle selling site?

Isn't it motion who runs an upscale motorcycle buying site? (his home)

I look a lot on cycletrader.com but have never sold a bike on there. Most of my sales were done out of one of those local bike trader magazines. Sold probably ten bikes using those magazines fast. Haven't sold a bike in a few years though, but am looking for a good place to sell one now.

I needed this info as I have an essentially new CRF450R Fuel Inj. Dirtbike, at a great price...no interest on CL or other local sites.

Thanks Guys!

Poor Ebay - everyone seems to feel that way these days. I bought my Hawk GT there, and my Hawk II on Craigslist.

I'd suggest a local bike group, but it appears you don't already belong to any? It always kinda sucks when someone joins just to sell a motorcycle.
