How condition is described

Each machine carries a single condition grade: excellent, very good, good, for restart or for restoration.

For restart: the bike has been standing and needs recommissioning before use, typically fresh fuel, battery, fluids, tyres and a brake check.
For restoration: a project needing substantial work.

Papers and registration

Registration papers show where the bike is registered, most often Italy, the Netherlands or Germany. Some older bikes come with an invoice showing engine and frame numbers instead of registration, or with a cancelled registration, which means re-registration will take extra steps. CoC present tells you whether a Certificate of Conformity is included.

Delivery

Motorcycles cannot travel as a parcel. The product page shows the date the bike is ready for delivery, and transport is arranged with you individually once your order is placed.

Before you buy

Check that the engine and frame numbers match the papers, read the condition grade carefully, and look up the registration and roadworthiness rules in your own country.

Frequently asked questions

How is a motorcycle delivered after I order?

Motorcycles and scooters cannot be sent as a parcel. The product page shows the date the machine is ready for delivery, and once your order is placed, transport is arranged with you individually. If you have a question about delivery for a specific bike, contact us before ordering so the arrangements are clear.

What does 'for restart' mean on a classic motorcycle?

For restart means the motorcycle has been standing unused and needs recommissioning before it is ridden. Typical work includes draining old fuel, cleaning the carburettors, fitting a new battery, changing oil and brake fluid, checking or replacing tyres and inspecting the brakes. It is less than a restoration, but a bike in this condition should not be ridden until that work is done.

What if a motorcycle has no registration papers?

Some older motorcycles come with an invoice listing the engine and frame numbers, or with a cancelled registration, instead of current papers. Registering such a bike is usually possible but involves extra steps, such as proving the vehicle's identity, an inspection and sometimes a historic vehicle application. The rules vary by country, so check with your registration authority first.

Why do engine and frame numbers matter?

Engine and frame numbers identify a motorcycle. When they match each other, where the maker used matching numbers, and match the registration papers, the bike's identity is clear, which makes registration and insurance straightforward. A replaced engine is common on older bikes and not necessarily a problem, but it affects originality and value, so compare the numbers in the photos with the papers.
