BCA's bike auction team went into overdrive on Friday, 26 February at Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, sending 210 motorcycles, scooters, mopeds and quads on their way from an entry of 241. This double ton-plus result is the best volume performance by a UK auction house since BDN started reporting the auction scene.
BCA billed it as a "Supersale", and was delighted to see the term more than justified. The auction attracted 500 buyers on site and online, reported BCA's bike specialist Terence Guymer. The result underpins the growing demand for used machines and dealer strategy to have stock ready for Easter and the main sales season, he added.
Sold bikes included 11 Harley-Davidsons, three making five-figure returns. Star bike was a £12,100 Ducati Panigale. The RSPCA benefited from the sale to the tune of £250 thanks to a new crash hat signed by former WSB champion and TV 'King of the Jungle' Carl Fogarty.
BCA holds monthly bike sales at its permanent Peterborough site on the last Friday of the month. Next sale 25 March 1pm. Details: 01733 588257.
