Expert Tips for Getting the Best Motorcycle Pawn Loan
The best motorcycle pawn loan gives you fast access to needed funds, without compromising your ownership of the bike.
Once the loan and interest have been repaid, the motorcycle is returned to you in its original condition.
If you have a paid-off motorcycle in your name, you can use it to get a loan against its value with Pawn My Car.
How to get a loan against a motorcycle
To use your motorcycle as collateral on a short-term loan, the bike must be paid off and in your name. It should have a reasonable value to base the loan on, so it helps if it’s in good condition.
Other requirements include:
- up-to-date papers
- roadworthiness
- clean and rust-free
- a spare key.

Steps for getting the best loan offer for a motorbike
Just rocking up for an assessment with your bike isn’t guaranteed to get you the loan amount you want. To get the best deal on a motorcycle pawn loan, follow these steps.
Research the value
Make sure you know the value of your bike based on the make, model, age, condition and resale value. This will help you assess if the loan amount you’re offered is fair.
Get scrubbing
Make sure your bike is clean and polished before you get it assessed for an asset-based loan. Also, check for rust.
Make repairs
Get the motorcycle serviced and fix any issues. The better the condition of a bike, the more likely it is to attract a healthy loan offer.
Find the best asset-based lender
Avoid unscrupulous pawnbrokers who don’t play by the rules.
To find a reputable lender, check for the following criteria:
- a registered financial services provider
- registered with the National Credit Regulator (NCR)
- physical branches (not just an online presence)
- a credible website that’s not riddled with errors
- a commitment to protect your information from third parties.
