Sell and Buy Back

Buy-Back Program: the ideal solution for long motorcycle journeys

Planning to spend several months riding through France or Europe by motorcycle?
Forget standard rentals or long-term leasing. Our buy-back program gives you more freedom, greater savings, and zero hassle.

How it works:

  1. You tell us your budget and the model you’re looking for.
  2. You either choose a motorcycle from our existing fleet (lower costs), or we source the bike, register it and insure it for you.
  3. When you arrive, the motorcycle is ready to ride.
  4. 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
