Has anyone used one of the UK motorcycle buying services?

Since my CB400 has become my "daily rider" I want to sell my 2019 Kawasaki Z900RS Cafe but do not want to deal with the process of advertising/accepting calls/tire kickers, etc.  I see there are several motorcycle-buying businesses, stating words to the effect of,   "contact us, we'll give you a quote and pick up the bike/pay cash."  I accept the fact that the bike could sell to an individual for more than they will pay but that's OK.   Any recommendations for a specific company?

I've sold a couple of bikes in the past to the superbike factory. Modern bikes, in immaculate condition. Def took a hit financially but was hassle-free and if you value your time/don't want the hassle it's a simple solution.

Motorcycle equivalent of 'We Buy Any Car'. Won't give the best price, but you won;t have to mess around. That's how they make a living.

Better than a dealer part ex sometimes too. Depends how sought after your bike is.

Thanks guys - will get a quote from a couple of them, pick one and proceed.

I used the Superbike Factory around five years ago to sell my Versys 1000 and they were really excellent, paid the same price as the dealer suggested for a trade - in, no problems on collection (in fact, the collection driver said it was the cleanest bike he had been asked to bring in and would ask his friend if he wanted it). However, when my daughter wanted to sell her Honda NC 700 a year or so ago, they offered a very low price, some £700.00 less than a local trader offered, and were using the same follow - up methods as the other buying site mentioned above - i.e. in touch every few days to offer a price a little higher, only valid for that day etc.

In summary, terrific a few years ago, far less impressed last time around!
