What’s hot and what’s not in the used-motorcycle world
HONDA PACKS EIGHT MODELS INTO THE TOP THIRTY FAST SELLERS
This month we look at the fastest-selling used bikes over 125cc on Auto Trader, based on the median number of days the bikes were on-site during the period between 1 October and 11 December 2022.
The KTM 890 Adventure leads the top 30, spending an average of just 12.5 days on the site before finding a new buyer, but Honda prove to be the marque of the moment with a total of eight bikes in the top 30.
Used bike pricing for the last four weeks compared to the same period in 2021, still shows year-on-year growth, with the average used ICE bike at £8000 (an increase of 3%) but the electric market stayed static with an average price of £11,000. Going deeper into the data and analysing YOY price growth by brand shows that Lexmoto saw the biggest increase at 8%, followed by Honda with a 6% rise. Kawasaki’s average sold price gained 5% and MV Agusta’s rose by 5%.
When it comes to the different methods of purchasing bikes, we’ve seen strong growth in the proportion of leads coming through with finance enquiries since August. One in four bike leads now request finance details from dealers with finance quotes displayed on bikes for sale adverts.

USED MARKET STRONG AS NEW MARKET IN DECLINE
SALES AND DEMAND IN THE used market held up quite well in November, although there were reports of a general ease as is typical for the time of year. Stock availability continues to improve with reports of more offers of machines from the public, and dealers are generally satisfied with their stock levels for now.
Although there is a good deal of uncertainty, the outlook for the used market through 2023 generally remains positive, with increases in the cost of living and interest rates potentially steering consumers towards the used market as a more affordable option compared to buying new.
OUTLOOK
Following an exceptionally mild autumn, December started on a much colder note, with ice and snow making for challenging conditions and generally keeping bikers indoors. However, considering prices remain strong for the time of year and show little sign of significant change, Glass’s expects values to hold up across all segments.

IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE CHILLY RIGHT NOW, BUT MCN’s motorcycle reviews and bikes for sale sections are both hot stuff, as the new bike launch season is underway with readers already shopping for a new steed for ’23.
Naked bikes remain the most popular style in both the Bikes for Sale and Bike Review sections of the site, with Honda grabbing the top manufacturer spot, followed by Yamaha and Kawasaki. A trio of Hondas also headed the most viewed models list – the Gold Wing was first, followed by the CB500X and the NC750X.
When it comes to bike reviews, the Yamaha MT-10 SP is the most popular naked bike, the ritzy Bimota’s KB4 has been winning readers over as the top sports bike and the perennially popular Honda NC750X – an excellent bike for winter riding – is the hottest adventure bike review.
From the handful of 2023 bikes MCN has reviewed so far, Honda’s CB750 Hornet has been the most read.
