Default pointers for selling bike in North Carolina

I need to sell my 2005 Suzuki C50 (Red colour, limited edition), good condition, low 1450 miles. I am located in North Carolina. Looking for reliable pointers to post this advertisement. I have already posted on craigslist. Any other pointers appreciated.

What do you do if a potentional buyer wants to test ride the bike. Do you ride 2-up with them or trust them and let em ride it solo and hope he comes back with your bike?

If someone wanted to test ride the bike they would have to give me the cash for the bike then I would allow them to take it for a spin. I don't really think there is any other way that you could safely do that.

hey moto cruz, i live in raleigh and it seems that craigslist raleigh moves bikes fairly quickly. advice about that is to put in pictures. i don't even look at the adds not posting pictures.

Give them a 30 min warranty, if they find something mechanically wrong you give them a full refund.

I was going to say a good pointer for selling would be "ran shine with it."

Around here, you give your license to the seller. Makes people a bit more honest.
