For sure, agreed.I think it also matters WHAT bike you're selling and WHO you're selling it to.
People on this forum are interested in specific types of MC. Whether it's off road, dual sport, adventure etc. we as a group don't need to be sold on a particular genre/model because we're looking for it. We may be shopping around within a group of models/manufacturers but essentially we know what we're looking for.
MP is selling a standard style bike that could appeal to a broad cross section of active riders, both enthusiasts like people here and casual riders. Pretty and descriptive pics are more likely to grab attention particularly as someone is scrolling randomly through FB or kijiji.
All MP needs is someone to notice his ad and be smitten with a picture. Smitten enough to say, "I think I want that!"
I still think there's a fine line between :
Regular guy selling bike
Motorcycle enthusiasts selling bike
Shady salesman selling a bike
-to me, douchy shady salesman has written paragraphs about how superior his model is, glamor shots, scenic backgrounds, over inflated list and prices of mods to justify the outrageous price. I'd throw curbsiders into the last one. "Got to sell, no time to ride", and their marketplace profile shows a steady supply of sold sketchy history bikes.
