Dead battery, seized engine, bent forks or ten years under a tarp. We buy the bike as it sits, load it on our flatbed and pay you before we leave.
Tell us about it and we'll call you back with a number. We only use your details for this quote.

Year, make, model and what is wrong with it. A photo helps, and so does knowing where it is parked.
We give you an offer on the phone. If it works for you, we book a pickup time that suits you.
The driver checks the bike matches what you told us, you sign the transfer, and it goes on the truck.
We buy most bikes with an engine, plus quads and side-by-sides. Each type has its own page with what to expect.
We don't publish prices. Two bikes of the same model can be worth very different amounts, so we'd rather give you a real number for yours. These are the things we ask about.
Motorcycles follow the same ICBC rules as cars. BC doesn't use titles, so the registration is your proof of ownership. Have these ready when the truck arrives:
After the bike is gone, cancel or transfer the insurance at an Autoplan broker.
If there's still a loan on the bike, it has to be paid out and discharged before you sell. You can check with a serial number search at BC's Personal Property Registry.
Selling for a family member who has passed away? ICBC has an estate transfer process. Usually the executor named in the will signs, with a copy of the death certificate.
Most of our pickups are between Vancouver and Abbotsford. We also go up to Squamish and Whistler when we can plan the trip ahead.
BC has no ownership title for motorcycles. The registration that came with your insurance papers is the proof, and every registered owner signs it. If it's lost, any Autoplan broker can print a new one. Do it before pickup day so nothing stalls.
Plates belong to ICBC, not the bike. Unscrew it before we arrive and keep it for your next bike, or hand it in at a broker. A plate left on a bike that's been sold can cause headaches later.
Lots of riders put their bike on storage coverage for the winter, or let the insurance lapse years ago. Either way, your broker can cancel or move whatever is left once the bike is sold. We don't need the bike to be insured to buy it.
If the bike was financed and there's still money owing, the lender may have a lien on it at BC's Personal Property Registry. We can't buy a bike with an active lien until it's paid out. Tell us up front and we'll talk it through.
Saddlebags, tank bags, phone mounts, aftermarket exhausts you plan to sell on their own: take them off before we come. Once the bike is strapped down, it goes as it sits. Leave the keys with it if you have them.
Most pickups are simple. The ones that take planning are bikes on P3 of a parkade, behind a locked gate, in a backyard shed with a narrow side path, or on a steep driveway. A quick description means the right truck and the right straps show up.
If the bike runs, rides well and is in demand, you'll usually get more selling it privately. We'll tell you if we think that's the case. We're the easier option when it doesn't run, needs more than it's worth, or you just want it gone.
Yes. Most of the bikes we buy don't run. Dead batteries, seized engines, gummed-up carbs, electrical faults and bikes that have sat for years are all fine.
Yes, as long as it's still a bike. One without a seat or with a stripped engine is fine. We don't buy loose parts or engines on their own.
Call 236-239-0420 or fill in the form with the year, make, model and condition. We'll give you a number over the phone.
The same model can be worth very different amounts depending on condition, missing parts and where it's parked. We'd rather give you a real number for your bike.
Your ICBC registration signed by every registered owner, photo ID, and the Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T), which you sign after you're paid. Take the plate off before we load.
No. We only buy bikes. We don't sell parts and we don't do repairs.
Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, the Tri-Cities, the North Shore, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, Mission and the towns in between. Squamish and Whistler by arrangement.
In cash at pickup, once the driver has checked the bike and the paperwork.
Usually yes, because someone has to sign the transfer form and get paid. If you can't be there, call us first. In some cases another registered owner can meet the driver, but we sort that out before booking, not at the curb.
Yes. Our flatbeds can carry several motorcycles on one trip, so a garage with two or three old bikes is a normal job. Tell us how many there are and we'll quote them together or one by one, whichever you prefer.
Call with the year, make and model and we'll give you a number.
