Describe which kind of Yamaha you own
Yamaha's UK motorcycles span NMAX and XMAX scooters, commuter models, MT roadsters, R-series sports bikes, TRACER sport tourers and Ténéré adventure motorcycles. The details a dealer needs depend on the type of bike and how it has been used.
Include the full model name and version, not just Yamaha and an engine size. Features such as the gearbox, riding modes and optional extras can differ between models and years. Check your own bike and documents rather than guessing from a similar advert.
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.
Use the family only as a starting point, then identify your exact motorcycle.
NMAX and XMAX scooters
Show bodywork, floorboards, seat, storage, dashboard and all conventional or smart keys. Regular commuter use should be supported by clear mileage and service information.
MT roadsters
State the exact MT engine size and version, and document exhausts, tail tidies, levers, protection parts or suspension changes together with original components.
R-series sports bikes
Photograph fairings, bar ends, engine cases, wheels and controls carefully, and tell us about known track use, drops or replacement panels.
TRACER and Ténéré
List factory or aftermarket luggage, navigation mounts, protection, seat and screen changes. Adventure use should be reflected honestly in underside, wheel and bodywork photos.
Useful Yamaha details for dealers
A dealer needs enough detail to distinguish an everyday scooter from a modified roadster, sports bike or equipped tourer.
- Exact model, engine size, year, version and current mileage.
- Service entries and invoices, including chain, tyre and other recent maintenance where documented.
- Number and type of keys, including smart keys or security-related items where fitted.
- MOT status, advisories, warning lights and known mechanical or electrical faults.
- Luggage, heated equipment, screens, quickshifter or other fitted equipment included.
- Outstanding finance, import status, insurance history or previous repairs where relevant.
Explain use, maintenance and modifications
A Yamaha used daily can have higher mileage but a strong maintenance record. A sports or leisure bike can cover fewer miles yet show signs of long periods in storage, cosmetic damage or infrequent servicing. Provide the mileage and history together rather than expecting one number to describe the bike.
Many Yamaha models are personalised. Name the brands of any added parts if you know them. Tell us about changes to the engine computer (ECU), exhaust, suspension or controls, and whether the original parts are included. Added parts do not always increase an offer; dealers will assess them when considering your bike.
Photos for scooters, MTs, sports bikes and tourers
Start with complete front, rear and side views, then dashboard mileage, tyres, wheels, engine, controls and keys. Add under-seat storage for scooters, fairing and engine-case close-ups for sports bikes, and luggage mounting points for touring or adventure models.
If the motorcycle has scratches, corrosion, repaired panels or non-standard parts, show them directly. A well-lit photograph of a fault is more useful than a distant image that leaves the dealer to make assumptions.
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.
Yamaha seller questions
Should I include original Yamaha parts?
List and photograph any original exhaust, screen, levers or bodywork supplied with a modified bike. The dealer can then assess the complete package.
Can I submit a Yamaha used for commuting?
Yes. Give the current mileage, service records and an honest account of scratches, worn tyres or brakes, and daily use.
What if my Yamaha has been used on track or off road?
Tell us about relevant use and any resulting wear or damage. Clear information helps avoid an offer being reconsidered after inspection.
