How pickup works
When you donate your motorcycle, our team at Palm Ride Exchange will coordinate the pickup at a time that’s convenient for you. We use a small flatbed or trailer to ensure your motorcycle is loaded safely and securely. You won’t need to provide the key as we can strap down the bike at the frame for transport. Our logistics team handles all the details, from scheduling to securing the motorcycle for safe transport. If your bike is in a storage lot, we’ll coordinate with you to ensure a smooth pickup experience.
What drives donation value
The value of your motorcycle donation is influenced by several factors. Generally, the condition and vehicle history are more significant than mileage for older cruisers. For example, Harley values tend to hold well over time, while Japanese cruisers experience slower depreciation. Sport bikes have their value closely tracked based on condition—well-maintained bikes fetch better prices than those showing signs of neglect. Aftermarket parts can either enhance or diminish the overall value, and for vintage or custom models, an appraisal is advised, especially for classics or low-mileage Gold Wings.
Documentation you need

West Palm Beach specifics
In West Palm Beach, Florida, the DMV rules for motorcycle donations are straightforward. When donating, ensure that you have the motorcycle's title, as it is necessary for the transfer of ownership.
