Bike Hunt
Your motorcycle purchase, organised — from search to decision.
One hunt per purchase: collect listings, check candidates, keep seller answers and costs together and go to the viewing prepared.
The process
Buying a motorcycle is more than one listing.
Six steps, each optional. Use what helps — everything lands with the right candidate.
- 01CollectAdd listings to your hunt by link, by text or by hand.
- 02CheckA Check shows strengths, open points and what the listing leaves out.
- 03Ask the sellerQuestions about exactly this listing — answers land with the candidate.
- 04Estimate costsWhat comes after the purchase price, in ranges and with a source.
- 05InspectChecklist, photos and assistant for the viewing.
- 06Compare & decideTwo to six candidates side by side — the decision stays yours.
Collect candidates
Every interesting motorcycle, in one place
Add a listing the way you found it. The candidate keeps what the listing said — even if the ad disappears later.
Paste a link
Paste the link to the listing — price, year, mileage and history are read out.
Paste the text
If a page cannot be fetched, simply copy the listing text in yourself.
Add by hand
A bike from a dealer or a friend? Enter the details and up to six photos yourself.
- Unlimited candidates
- Refresh a listing once a day
- Offline does not mean sold
- Archive instead of delete
Assessment
An assessment you can argue with
A Check unlocks a candidate's evaluation: what speaks for it, what's open and what the listing leaves out. Every statement shows what it's based on.
- Promising, with open points or rather critical — explained in words, without a score
- Listing details, seller statements and your own findings stay distinguishable
- Known model weaknesses marked as something to check, not as fact
- No made-up market value
Seller questions
The questions you'd forget
For every candidate you get questions about this exact listing. You send them yourself, paste the answer in, and the details land on the candidate.
- Questions from the listing, general check points and known model weaknesses
- Answered, partly answered or open — open questions stay visible
- Add your own questions
Costs
What comes after the purchase price
An estimate of the costs coming up for this motorcycle and the ones that keep coming — in ranges, because anything more precise would be made up.
- Upcoming costs, such as a due service or tyres
- Running costs per year, plus vehicle tax and a range for liability insurance
- Every line shows whether it comes from the listing, the seller or typical values
- Your own amounts override the estimate
Inspection
Prepared for the viewing
A checklist for exactly this candidate — with notes on what to look for at every point. Written for someone standing in front of a used bike for the first time.
- Papers, tyres, brakes, drivetrain, bearings, engine, electrics and test ride
- Check points from the listing, the seller's answers and known model weaknesses
- Fine, notable or unsure — with up to six photos per point
- The inspection assistant answers questions on the spot; the report is available as a PDF
Compare
Compare the bikes you can actually buy
Not spec sheets, but these exact used bikes — with what's known about them, their costs and what you saw at the inspection.
- Two to six candidates side by side
- Price, open questions, costs, trip and inspection in one table
- A summary with reasons — or a note that the data isn't enough
- With Plus: an AI-assisted comparison of your current candidates — it explains differences and trade-offs and says what is unknown. The decision stays yours.
Your decision
No score. No forced winner.
Salomoto helps you understand a motorcycle — the decision stays yours.
Reasons, not scores
Assessments are written in words, with their source. There is no number pretending to make the decision.
Honest about gaps
When the data is not enough, the comparison says exactly that — instead of inventing a winner.
No invented market value
Costs come in ranges and with their origin. We do not claim a market value.
Bike Match
No model in mind yet?
Bike Match finds out in a conversation which motorcycle fits your budget, licence and riding — and explains every suggestion. Then the hunt takes over.
Questions
About Bike Hunt
What happens when a listing goes offline?
Your candidate stays as it was: the extracted details, the seller's answers and your notes. A listing that can't be fetched is never marked as sold, and only what you archive yourself gets archived.
Do you contact sellers for me?
No. You send the messages yourself through your marketplace account. We write the questions and help you make sense of the answers.
Which marketplaces does this work with?
Any listing you can open as a link or copy as text. If a page can't be fetched, simply paste the listing text yourself.
Is Salomoto a marketplace?
No. We don't host listings and we don't sell motorcycles. We keep your candidates, your questions and your notes — the listings stay where they are.
Does Salomoto tell me whether a bike is sound?
No. Salomoto helps you understand a listing and prepare an inspection. Only an inspection in person can judge a motorcycle's condition — if something looks risky, have a mechanic take a look.
Do I need to know about motorcycles?
No. The checklist explains at every point what to look for and why. It's written for someone standing in front of a used bike for the first time.
How many candidates can I track?
As many as you like — collecting and organizing is free. The full evaluation of a candidate runs on Checks: 2 free to start, then one more every month, up to 5 available.
