A Honda badge covers many different motorcycles
Honda motorcycles range from everyday commuters and scooters to naked bikes, supersport machines, adventure models and long-distance tourers. A dealer assessing a PCX or SH scooter needs different information from one considering a CB roadster, CBR sports bike, Africa Twin or Gold Wing.
Give the full model name and year, including any version name shown on your documents. Tell us which features came with the bike when new and which accessories were added later. Your registration helps identify the motorcycle, while your description and photos show its current condition.
Tell us your model, version and features
The version is the extra part of the model name, such as Sport, GT or RS. If you are unsure, check your registration document or service book and tell us what you know.
Common Honda families seen in the UK include the following. The exact model, engine size, version and model year should always come from your own motorcycle and documents.
Scooters and commuters
PCX, SH, Forza and smaller-engine commuter models should include body-panel condition, storage, keys or smart keys and records of routine servicing.
CB and Hornet road bikes
For CB and Hornet models, identify the exact engine size and version, then show whether the bike remains standard or has exhaust, protection or cosmetic changes.
CBR sports motorcycles
CBR family bikes benefit from clear fairing, wheel, control and tyre photographs, plus details of any track use or repaired cosmetic damage where applicable.
Adventure and touring
Africa Twin, Transalp, NC and Gold Wing sellers should describe luggage, electronic equipment, touring accessories and the condition of high-value fitted parts.
What helps a dealer assess a Honda
A complete profile reduces uncertainty across Honda's broad range.
- Current mileage, model year, engine size and full model name, including the version if you know it.
- Service book, invoices or digital records, including recent maintenance you have records for.
- All keys, smart keys, security codes or fobs supplied with the motorcycle.
- Current MOT status, advisories and any known warning lights or mechanical faults.
- Factory luggage, centre stand, heated grips, screens or other equipment included in the sale.
- Finance, import, write-off or previous damage information where relevant.
Mileage and condition need context
Mileage should be considered with age, use and maintenance. A commuter may accumulate regular mileage with consistent servicing, while a lower-mileage leisure bike can still show storage corrosion, ageing tyres or overdue maintenance. Describe how the motorcycle has actually been used and cared for.
Point out scratches, corrosion, damaged plastics, bent controls, fluid leaks, warning lights and tyres, brakes or chains that may need replacing. If panels, levers, exhausts or screens have been replaced, explain why and say whether the original parts are included.
Photograph the details that distinguish your Honda
Provide both complete side views, front, rear, dashboard with mileage, wheels, tyres and the engine area. For faired or touring models, include close-ups of every panel and the fitted luggage. For scooters, show the leg shields, floorboard, seat and storage area.
Photograph service records without exposing unnecessary personal information. Add close-ups of damage and accessories instead of relying on a written list alone. Clear, current images help a dealer understand which exact motorcycle is being offered.
How MotorGeeks dealer offers work
Enter your registration or add your motorcycle details yourself, then tell us its mileage, condition, service history, features and accessories. Add clear photos so approved dealers can review your bike and decide whether to make an offer. You can compare offers and there is no obligation to accept one.
If you accept, the selected dealer receives the contact information needed to discuss inspection, payment and collection or handover. The motorcycle must still match its description, and the purchase is completed directly with the dealer. Read the UK motorbike selling guide before handover.
Honda seller questions
Can I submit a modified Honda?
Yes. List any changes made to the bike, identify any original parts included and photograph the work clearly. A dealer will decide how the changes affect their offer.
Does a missing spare or smart key matter?
It can affect a dealer's preparation costs, especially where replacement or coding is required. State exactly which keys and fobs are present.
Can I sell a Honda without full service history?
You can still submit it. Describe the records you genuinely have and do not claim a complete history if invoices or entries are missing.
