125cc potential sale price?

Is it a "proper" brand, or some no-name Chinese thing that's damn near impossible to get parts for?

The best way to determine the value is to put it on eBay, 99p start, no reserve. Full honest description, clear photos. Then sit back and wait.


But I suspect that £20 is probably not far from the mark, especially if it's an AliBaba-by-the-containerload special.

Second the advice about EBay. Scooters/125's with some damage that are a few years old are not worth a lot - but £20 seems very low. As AdrianC asks, what make/model is it as that does affect the price?

Well, it is an Aprilia from a local Aprilia dealership.

I don't really like the ebay idea unless I had a reserve on it (which brings me back to my original question of what to value it at).

Realistically, the Aprilia dealership here only does brand new bikes so they aren't interested and the one I used for repairs/MOT offered me £20!

I just really want a sense of what the scrap value might be on a motorbike with working parts etc. Because that would set me up to offer it at a reasonable price. I'm no good at pricing up vehicles

A lot of the import detail is missing from your post, model, mileage, current length of mot if any.

Don't confuse mot history which is publicly available with service history which is what buyers are looking for. Has it ever been serviced.

Assuming based of purchase price we are talking about an Aprillia SR125. In good condition a 2013 model will be worth £500 at most. Yours has been stolen and recovered several times, has damage and has extra holes drilled into the frame. On top of this it has sat in a garden for a year and likely no mot.

Good luck finding a buyer £50 to a teenager who wants a project sounds about your lot. The advice to chuck it on ebay with a honest description no reserve is your best bet.

1. The scrap value of a functional 125cc might be

2. Whether I should be looking at scrap value or trying to sell it as a usable motorbike.

If it was usable before being sorned sell it as a usable bike. A new mot could be very worthwhile.
Check completed listings on ebay for identical models for an idea of used values.


It shouldn't rust away if covered.

Fine demonstration of this theory...

£550, with 5mo MOT and much tidier than the OP's, as well as a year newer. Ad live for three weeks now, yet still unsold.

OK, so what's the absolute bare minimum you'll accept? If the highest bid is below that figure, then what - you keep it?

I would consider stripping down for parts

I mean - wheels with tyres have to be worth £25 each and if the engine is OK - say £200
