MV!

**WRT** · 11th April 2006, 10:53

Would an "Other" category be worthwhile for the manufacturers? To cover Matchless, AJS, Vincent, etc etc etc.

**Goblin** · 11th April 2006, 11:09

Trials? In the riding styles.
Racing? Maybe? Possibly?

Slightly off topic but, is there an ad or a link that directs people to KB to sell their bikes? I ask because quite often there are sellers who appear with a bike ad and then are never seen again. Is there a fee for listing? Maybe that's something that could be added to ensure the site remians ad free?

**bugjuice** · 11th April 2006, 13:10

what about grouping the engine size too? say
250 and under (mainly 150s and 250)
650 and under (mainly 400s and 600s and 636s

)
1000 and under (mainly 750s and thous)
1100 and above (beasts upwards)

or simplify it more..

**SpankMe** · 14th June 2006, 21:16

Add engine type to the trader. Have I missed any?

Single
V-Twin
Parallel Twin
Triple
Inline Four
V-Four
Boxer

**Ixion** · 14th June 2006, 21:18

Rotary. Rare, I admit

I'd also suggest "Two stroke or four stroke" Not everyone is certain.

Oh, and there are 6 cylinder bikes.

EDIT: Oh, and flat fours. Was there ever a flat 6 Gold Wing?

I don't suppose anyone would ever list a V8 Benelli or a 5 cylinder Honda.

**Madness** · 14th June 2006, 21:22

For gods sake don't add a transmission type. Like you're going to find an automatic gixxer ffs!!!

**Edbear** · 14th June 2006, 21:30

Probably don't need to be too specific. If I advertised my bike as an '89 GSX600F Suzuki with 39,000km. Red - then added price and Reg/WOF status and a picture, how many people wouldn't know what I was advertising? A prospective buyer would then PM me for further details or ask a question much as they do on TradeMe.

It's a good idea, though you'd probably need to consider some of the rules and guidelines TradeMe use to keep it all orderly.
