Best bike sales website
Hello all and apologies if I am not in the correct forum to ask this! I am trying to get a feel for bike options and prices in Europe. I'm at the start of a plan to travel north Africa for a while. Which website is best to get a over-view of what bikes are available and gauge of prices? Thankyou!

Where do you live? Are you an EU resident? Do you have a permanent address in Europe?
https://www.autoscout24.com/motorcycle/ is a good start, but the ability to actually register a vehicle in your name is wildly different across Europe.

In the UK I would say ebay.co.uk Their search facility is quite good as well, you can rank or filter to narrow it down to the sort of thing you're after. Bear in mind we're coming into autumn now, bike prices are lower but availability is starting to drop as well as people put their bikes away until spring.

Hello AnTyx, I'm not an EU resident and do not have a permanent address in Europe. I'm just trying to get an idea of what is available and ball-park figures on cost of bikes. I will then have the non-resident issue to deal with...

Sorry, but you need to be thinking the other way around ... find out where you can buy a bike first and then find out what people there use to find bikes. If I remember correctly there's only Ireland and Estonia (?) that allow non-EU residents to buy an EU motorbike, I have no idea what's most popular in those countries.
Different countries have different bike prices and availability BTW
