News DH Superbikes

Part exchange is one of the simplest ways to change your motorbike. Your current bike goes towards your next one, and the difference is settled up or down. DH Superbikes is based in Clitheroe in the Ribble Valley, within easy reach of Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington and Preston, and we welcome part exchange on our bikes.

How part exchange works at DH Superbikes

1. Tell us about your bike. Send the details through our sell your bike form, or call or WhatsApp us. Include the registration, mileage, history and some photos.
2. We appraise it. Every bike we take in, whether as a part exchange or an outright purchase, is appraised to give a valuation.
3. Agree the figures. Your part exchange value goes against the bike you are buying, with a cash adjustment up or down.
4. Hand over your bike. The valuation is based on the appraisal, so it can change if the condition or specification is different when the bike arrives.

What to bring

• The V5C logbook
• A valid MOT, where one is needed
• The service history
• All keys
• The handbooks

If you still have finance on your bike

Tell us about any outstanding finance before you agree a deal. We can settle the finance when we receive the bike and the settlement documents. Read our guide to selling a motorbike with outstanding finance.

Cherished number plates

If your bike has a private plate that needs to be transferred or retained, we take a holding deposit, which is refunded once the transfer or retention is complete and the updated V5C has been received.

Using your part exchange as a deposit

Your part exchange can act as the deposit on finance for your next bike. See our guide to part exchange as a deposit, and our guide to HP vs PCP.

How to get the best value

• Clean the bike and take clear, well-lit photos.
• Gather every invoice and service record.
• Include original parts if the bike has been modified.
• Be upfront about any faults or damage, as this avoids changes to the valuation later.
