5/51 stop shopping
I have a motorcycle buying problem. I have consolidated two bikes down to one which means I only have four in the garage currently. Cycle trader gave me the information I needed to make a national search and local search and I bought my third Motorcycle utilizing CycleTrader. Once again; purchased halfway across the country... I flew out and I picked it up the bike and I rode it home. Every time I do that it’s an adventure that brings smile to my face! Being able to compare identical bikes all across the nation allowed me to find a slightly used bike already equipped with many of the Farkle’s I would pay retail for. I not only got a well-equipped bike but saved thousands over the purchase off the showroom floor.

4/5Very good, almost great, except...
... for the picture viewing. If I turn my phone sideways the pics automatically become full screen, which is nice, but you can’t pinch and zoom with any picture on any listing. The pics themselves can occasionally be a tiny bit blurry, but even then I want to be able to zoom into some small area to see a particular detail of a bike. I’m sure all the pics used were of a decent digital size but were reduced in size/quality for fast loading, but I wish the originals were accessible also - on demand. Let me decide to download the larger file size in order to get better detail. In distant second place in terms of priority, I wish folks were more forthcoming with details about each bike But it seems that there’s only a small amount of info required in order to make a listing. I don’t know exactly how the app could fix that, but it’s on my wishlist for things I’d like to see happen. Overall I like how easy it is to use the app and filter and sort my searches. I just really want to see the pictures better.

4/5Good service Could be awesome
I think anyone who wants to buy, sell, research prices checks Cycle Trader first. I would like to see improvements on the image quality of the advertised motorcycles and the Font larger. And I’ve been messaging someone selling with no response. Do they get notifications when a message is sent? Also it would be nice to have a category dedicated to buying/ selling motorcycle parts and accessories including riding gear. How many times have we replaced a stock part with an upgrade, or in need of one? There should be a section of ISO ( in search of ). Someone cracks a wheel or clutch lever makes an ISO post. Or that hard to find vintage bike you’re restoring, looking for a carburetor for a 1982 Honda CB 750. Someone out there has it, or their uncle Bill has on in a garage for the last 40 years. ( Do the developers even read these? )

4/5Software doesn’t work well with IOS Systems
Should I even give this crappy app a two rating if it doesn’t work? From an iPad Air running IOS 13.3, YOU CANNOT ACCESS YOUR LISTINGS. You cannot see your bikes you register either. This was true on previous versions as well. Cannot even place an add from my iPhone 7+ when signed in. What good is this app? Well you can search for items to buy or find from those devices I’ve mentioned but the search engine is very basic and lacks good features to ease your effort. I could list all the functions this app should have or what is actually broken and why but why waste my time because these things have been broken for a long time. Dos everyone a favor fire the developer and hire a developer that can make this app work, Dah!

3/5Useless and lying scam
This is really just a scam for dealerships to try to collect your email and phone number so they can spam you. The majority of the listings are dealerships. Miss quoting their own price without freight charges, and assembly and documentation fees before you even get into shipping costs. I have now had 15 dealerships not respond to my email with the clearly asked information, but instead try to call me all day long and blow up my email with stereo. Typical used car dealer personality, harassment. You’re better off just using Google or DuckDuckGo or Bing or your preferred search to find out what dealerships work on your preferred brand. I cannot even recommend using the search controls since even setting it to used will pop up older motorcycles that are still priced at MSRP plus all the fees and it turns out that it is just another dealership with an old bike that they never saw it claiming that it is new old stock. It is still the most popular search beating out craigslist But it is sad and cycle. Trader is making money off of people paying for this garbage, and to be harassed
