Other than ebay and craigslist where is the best place to find motorcycles for sale?

I'd think with the economy as bad as it is there would be a lot of great deals out there as people are likely to sell off the Harleys and other motorcycles they bought but do not ride.

I've used Cycle Trader to look for bikes and quads. That or the local papers.

If you use Cycle Trader.com you can put in how many miles away from you that you are willing to travel to look at it or go buy it.

That is the only ways I have bought used vehicles.

Our local TV station has a web site that among news stories, coming local events; also has a trader or sell section that has bikes for sale on it. Most are within a 60 mile radius of this station so wouldn't be a problem to take a little ride to check a bike out.

Craigslist is by far the best resource I've found. Ebay is just full of people trying to get more than what their junk is worth. CL is free and you can find local stuff and save on shipping and deal with the owner in person.

I have noticed that used Harley prices have dropped significantly in the last 6-8 months. Obviously the economy is to blame but I've watched them fall at least 25-30%. So if you have the cheese, now is a good time to pick one up because they are dealin out there.

I prefer Criagslist but find, among all the dreamers and fools, there are some unusual motorcycle and motorcycle parts on ebay IF you can find them. The problem with ebay is that a lot of the good motorcycles for sale and motorcycle parts are too far away to easily check out or pick up.

I located mine on Craigslist. I found Cycle Trader and ebay were full of people who thought more of their bikes than they should. (Of course I might be the same way if I were forced to sell)

I got lucky and found one less than an hour away where the husband and wife were selling two bikes in order to purchase one touring rig.

Buzz,

I've had good luck with a couple of local credit unions that offer free classified ads to their cutomers. Both, Collins Credit Union(Rockwell Collins in CR) and Veridian(John Deere) have ads available on line. I just looked & Veridian has 7 pages in the motorcycle class. Collins isn't as user friendly, just comes up as a PDF & you do the searching, but still sometimes some good deals.

Might be some CU's around your area with the same thing.
