I was wondering if anyone knew of any other places to sell a motorcycle. I have listed it on Craigslist, but can't think of any other places to list it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
ETA: It is a 2007 Yamaha VStar Classic 650 with around 8000 miles on it. We are hoping to sell it for $5300. there is nothing wrong with it, we are just looking to get rid of the loan for it. Thanks to all those who have replied already.
Hi A.,
I remember when my husband and I were looking for a bike for me, we looked on craigslist and traderonline.com (the website related to the Auto Trader and Cycle Trader magazines). Hope this helps!

WE sold my husband's Honda Valkyrie on Ebay. We got more than wfe were hoping for it and it was an easy process. If you'd like more info, feel free to send me a message.
What kind of motorcycle and how much do you want for it? Does it haev mechanical or cosmetic issues?
I think there is a Motorcycle Trader, just like the AutoTrader mag. You post it in the magazine and it goes online too for a fee.
I saw another Mama mention Two Wheel World in Arlington. That's where I was going to mention also. They keep a stock of used motorcycles for sale. I'm in there once in awhile and rarely see the same bike twice.
Another weird place you might consider is taking it to a Hooters on ANY Saturday or Sunday. Tons of bikers go there to get their chicken wing "fix" and they all talk. Everyone knows someone who might be interested. Just sit it there with a sign or something. Good luck!
There is a bar/pub (not sure since I've never been in there) named "Hot Rods & Hogs" off of 360. Every time I drive by it seems as though it is packed out with all types of bikes. You may try to call them or see if they have a website: where bikers gather... bikes may be wanted.
We actually just sold my husbands on Craigslist but we had to re-list it a couple of times since there are so many postings if you leave it up then there are just so many to wade through that people may not even see it. If my hubby wasn't leaving for Iraq soon we wouldn't have sold it since it is a HUGE savings on gas & maintenance. Anyway, hope you guys sell it soon!
We had great success with an ad in the Star-Telegram--we sold a truck that way, and were getting calls before the print ad even went out b/c it was also on the on-line edition.
What kind and how much?
See if Wilhoites has a place to post otices there- major bike hang out- Grapevine

Try a motorcycle dealership; we sold our gorgeous Goldwing 12 years ago at Two Wheel World in Arlington. With gas prices, I wouldn't be surprised if it's scarfed up easily.
Autotrader.com, Cars.com?
Cars.com is how we sold our car. I am not sure about selling a motorcycle there, but you could check it out.
Hi A. -
What year is the bike and how many miles does it have? My son owns a motorcycle shop in Kennedale. I will ask him if he is interested. Thanks.
Great names for your kids! Anyway! I have a suggestion that is a bit strange, yet pretty promising. I am in Fort Worth and there is a tattoo shop, among many others, called Elite Tattoo. There is a guy there who is a fanatic about motorcycles. Especially Harley Davidsons. But, there is always a tattoo shop guy that is a fanatic about motorcycles. I know it's weird, but just call them up, tell them what you are selling and they can spread the word like a sewing circle.
