Buy-Back Program: the ideal solution for long motorcycle journeys
Planning to spend several months riding through France or Europe on a motorcycle? Our motorcycle buy-back program is an ideal alternative to standard rental or long-term leasing, giving you more freedom, greater savings and zero hassle. With our service, you can buy the motorcycle you want, use it for your trip, and sell it back according to a pre-agreed scale when your journey ends.
How it works:
- Tell us your budget and preferred model.
- Choose from our existing fleet (lower cost), or let us source, register and insure the bike for you.
- When you arrive, the motorcycle is ready to ride.
- At the end of your trip, we buy it back according to a pre-agreed scale, taking into account any additional costs if applicable.

A concrete example :
Deal completed in 2025 with a BMW 1200 GS (2009) purchased for €6,500 + additional costs.
After 3 months of travel and 10,000 kilometers, we bought the motorcycle back for €2,900 (buy-back value minus maintenance and tire costs).
The actual cost for our Australian client, all expenses included (insurance, etc.), was €55 per day.
A standard rental would have cost him €120 per day.
Conditions and maintenance:
You are responsible for the routine maintenance of the motorcycle (servicing, tires, etc.).
This is the trade-off for the significant savings compared to rental solutions.
The motorcycle must be maintained according to the manufacturer’s service schedule and returned clean.
Additional costs to consider:
- Registration (license plate): between €90 and €190, depending on the model
- Insurance: between €180 and €550 per year (third-party or fully comprehensive on request)
- Administrative fees: €300
- Possible motorcycle repatriation costs: depending on location
