The vehicle remarketing company BCA is reporting a record number of entries for the forthcoming motorbike auction at BCA Peterborough. Starting at 1pm on Friday, 28 February, James Rowberry, Head of Bike Sales at BCA Peterborough, says the event could light the blue touch paper for bike sales in 2014.
“Of course the weather hasn’t been great for stimulating interest in biking over the past few months”, said Rowberry, “but, despite the inclement conditions and limited availability of stock at our sales during the winter months, there has been a growing demand from both dealers and private buyers for good-quality bikes.”
He added “This is the largest entry of motorbikes we have ever seen for a February sale and the online catalogue is already seeing plenty of hits on from potential buyers. The improving economic conditions have no doubt helped stimulate the market, as has been seen in the car and van markets.
“Now, with the weather perhaps improving just a little – and a great selection of makes and models on offer – we are expecting a lot of interest from buyers.”
More than 100 bikes will come under the hammer, including entries from Black Horse, BMW Finance as well as some ex-police bikes.
The sale is open to all buyers and a catalogue featuring images and full details of every car entered is available online at www.bca.co.uk.
