How Do We Calculate The Price Guide?
Everyone knows that the best way to value a bike is to browse through the classifieds for a while. It tells you what is going on in the market right now and roughly what a bike is worth.
We try to do the same thing for you by monitoring thousands of bikes every day, seven days a week. Actually, it's a badass server doing the number crunching, but we did tell it what to look for.
Where Does The Popularity Data Come From?
The data is derived from the DVLA but there are a few important things to note:
- Motorbikes and scooters tend to be recorded as they are described in the V5 document. Most of the time this reads as you would expect it to but sometimes it appears as "Other", "Missing" or a slight variation of the name. We do our best to interpret the data but it will never be 100% perfect and should be treated as a guide.
- Generally speaking, the older data is likely to have more of these inconsistencies.
- SORN stands for Statutory Off Road Notification.
