Where to advertise bike - SV650.org

Needing advice folks.

Tried selling the SV on ebay & on here, then week later in DC Thomson's Courier & Advertiser. Only one phone call. I was really surprised how few bikes were advertised in the Courier compared to when I bought it in 2002.

Several contacts saying how great the bike looks......but no visits.

So where should I advertise it?

I know someone who could be interested......................

................and no doubt she'll be along shortly.

Seriously though - that's a surprise, everyone myst be paying for holidays or spending much more money on shiny new rides. 0% finance deals might not be helping you out there mate.

Cheers,

Garry

If it was me, I'd stick an advert to the front of Alvins

I'd also do an ad with a decent photo and pop around the training places, since SVs are such popular first bikes.

I tried to sell the 125 through the local press, no success at all- stuck it it Autotrader and it sold in a week. Lot of timewasters too, though.
