How pickup works
Picking up your motorcycle is a breeze with Rev Up Local. Our team will coordinate a convenient pickup using a small flatbed or trailer, making sure the process is as smooth as possible. You don’t need to worry about providing a key for loading; we can securely strap your bike down at the frame. If your motorcycle is stored in a location like a storage lot or your garage, we'll work with you to schedule a pickup time that fits your needs. It's all about making your donation experience easy and hassle-free!
What drives donation value
The value of your motorcycle donation is influenced by several factors, particularly its history and condition. Older cruisers often hold value better when well-maintained, while models like Harley-Davidsons tend to retain their worth significantly over time. For sport bikes, the condition is crucial; well-maintained bikes fare much better in value than those that have been subjected to reckless riding. Aftermarket parts can enhance or detract from value, so it’s important to consider any modifications you've made. For classic or vintage models, an appraisal from a qualified appraiser (IRS Form 8283 Section B) may be necessary to determine an accurate donation value.
Documentation you need
- Title of the motorcycle
- Bill of Sale (if applicable)
- Service records (optional, but helpful)
- Appraisal for classic motorcycles
