How pickup works
When it comes to picking up your motorcycle, we make the process as easy as possible for you. Our team uses a small flatbed or trailer to safely transport your donation. You don’t even need to be present with the ignition key, as we load the motorcycle securely by strapping it down at the frame. Just let us know where your motorcycle is located, and we’ll coordinate the pickup to suit your schedule. It's that simple!
What drives donation value
The value of your donated motorcycle is determined by several factors. For classic models or vintage bikes, a qualified appraisal may be necessary, particularly using IRS Form 8283 Section B. Generally, the vehicle’s history and condition hold more weight than mileage, especially for older cruisers. Well-maintained sport bikes typically fetch better prices than those with a history of rough handling. Lastly, the riding season plays a role — spring donations often lead to higher auction returns, so timing your donation can maximize its value.
Documentation you need
- Current title of the motorcycle
- Bill of Sale (if applicable)
- Service records (optional, but helpful)
- Appraisal for classic motorcycles (IRS Form 8283)
- Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (for off-road vehicles)
New Jersey specifics
In New Jersey, the Department of Motor Vehicles has guidelines for motorcycle donations, including the requirement of a clear title when transferring ownership. Donors should be aware that while some motorcycles may have a state title, others can be accepted with a bill of sale. Ensure you have all necessary documentation ready to streamline the donation process and avoid any complications.
