Get a Motorcycle Appraisal to Protect Your Investment

Did you know that our auto appraisers can appraise more than just cars? They have the experience and specific training to also provide you with a motorcycle appraisal that can help you find the right insurance policy and protect you in other ways as well.

Your bike is most likely not stock, and you’ve probably customized or modified it in some way. That means it should be insured so that those changes are reflected in your policy. With an appraisal, you will learn the true market value of your bike that takes into consideration the engine, frame, wheels, tires, aluminum and chrome plating, hidden air suspension, and more.

It isn’t cheap to make updates, and without the right insurance coverage, you could end up paying a lot of money if your bike is damaged or totaled. Buying a special type of insurance for motorcycles is a good idea, and the appraisal supports you in finding the right policy and insurer. You don’t want an insurance appraiser looking at your bike because they probably don’t have the experience necessary to appraise it properly or access to a database of current, comparable sales like our independent appraisers do.

You can rely on our appraisers to look over your entire bike very closely. They have the necessary training, industry experience, and expertise in bikes to arrive at an accurate market value for your motorcycle. They will take dozens of high-resolution photos and make detailed notes to support their valuation.

If you want to buy a bike, getting a pre-purchase inspection is a smart move because the appraiser will note any problems with the bike that affect its value. This protects you from paying too much. If you live too far from the bike, you don’t have to pay travel expenses and be away from your work and family to inspect the bike yourself, which is especially good if you don’t know how to value bikes very well.

Now, if you want to put your bike up for sale, an appraisal can help you price it right so that it sells quickly. You can also make any repairs you learn about in order to increase its value.

When you need a motorcycle appraisal done by professionals, give us a call, and we’ll be happy to help. We will assist you in getting the right protection you need and to make the best choices you can about your bike.
