Selling a UK bike in Mongolia - Any recent experience / information ?
Hey all.
Has anyone got any recent experience or info regarding selling a U.K bike in Mongolia.
Low funds are forcing me into a shorter or nothing situation.
So I'm thinking of buying a £1500 that I can ride to Ulaan Batar there and sell for whatever I can without breaking my heart.
Is it legal ??

6 Friends of mine did that already.
They drove to UB and sold the bikes there.
Get in Contact with oasis, they know people who will buy your bike and help you with the customs.
You have to pay some tax, but it ist not a fortune.
ANd then you can get out of the country.

I asked them when they came back.
As I told you, they checked everything with Oasis.
And there they found a guy who took care about everything.
I can try to reach them again.
I was in touch with them before and after their trip.
Friends is the wrong word, we met and I gave all the Information about my trip and maps and so on.
And then they asked me If I Know someone.
I gave them a tip with oasis.
And thats what they did.
It was quite easy, they sold the bikes. and went to customs with the buyer, who helped getting the paperwork sorted.
It must have been easy, because they had maybe 2 days before they went home by plane

That's great information. I've shot Oasis an email to ask for some more info too.
Thanks again.

Bike selling in UB
Process is not too difficult I've bought bikes from travelers and also sold bikes to people coming here wishing to ride back to Eu
Price depends on few factors as always but it's possible

I'm wondering the same.
I'm planning to go from Croatia and arrive next September with two bikes to UB , selling them and continuing by backpacking.
Currently I'm in process of getting the bikes here in Croatia. The problem is, don't know if I should get cheaper Aprilia Pegaso 2002 or more expensive BMW F 650 GS 2002. Which bike would sell easier and for which price approximately?!
I've written to Oasis, no reply so far.. tnx for any info!

The only reason id ride a pegaso is if it was free.
I can't think of a sane reason why anyone would buy one.

True, resale value is quite low.
But...Pegaso has exactly the same Rotax engine as F 650 GS, has higher clearance, bigger tank and is cheaper. Budget is a big issue for my trip, but if resell is impossible, than, I have to consider alternatives.

Hi Ted,
It would be a great idea if you could pre-plan a sale to another guy in UK, who would ride the bike back to UK, or wherever his heart takes him.
Arrange a meeting in UB, then pass keys over.
Bank transfer could be done, by buyer before flying out from UK.
Leaving you to fly back unimpeded.
Getting all the V5 stuff sorted out with a duplicate V5 wouldn't be that difficult?
Even find some one same size as you, and sell him the ride gear and lid !

Hey guys. In Ulaan Baatar a guy named Chinzorig Chuluunbaatar buys overlander bikes.
He bought two bikes at Oasis Guest House when I was there in May 2016... two Hondas, one from Germany, the other Australia. Both riders had ridden to U.B., wanted to sell, bam done, they were happy with the price paid. You can find him on Facebook under his name. I think he's on HUBB too but not sure.
Enjoy Mongolia, adv moto paradise!
