Why Choose a .motorcycles Domain?
The .motorcycles extension was introduced in 2014 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and sits firmly in the niche-vehicle category. Unlike the broader .bike or .auto, it speaks directly to the powered two-wheeler community — riders, builders, dealers and enthusiasts. Because the keyword sits in the domain itself, the extension instantly tells visitors and search engines what your site is about, which is useful when you're competing in a crowded automotive market.
Ideal for:
- Independent motorcycle dealerships and brokers
- Custom bike builders and chop shops
- Riding schools and CBT training providers
- Motorcycle clubs, forums and rider communities
- Parts retailers, accessory brands and apparel shops
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register, with no proof of trade or industry affiliation required.
- It is a longer string than most TLDs (11 characters), so pair it with a short, punchy left-hand label for a balanced domain.
- Some short, generic, or brand-related names may be classified as premium by the registry and carry higher registration and renewal fees.

Frequently asked questions about .motorcycles
Anyone. The .motorcycles TLD is unrestricted, so you don't need to be a licensed dealer, mechanic or industry professional to register one. Private riders, club organisers, bloggers and businesses anywhere in the world are all eligible. There are no documentation checks at registration.
You can register a .motorcycles domain for between 1 and 10 years in single-year increments. Longer registrations protect you from accidental expiry and are sometimes viewed favourably by search engines. You can renew at any point during the term to extend your registration further.
Yes. You'll need the domain to be at least 60 days old, unlocked at your current registrar, and you'll need the EPP authorisation code. Transfers typically complete within 5 to 7 days and add a year to your registration period at no loss of existing time.
After expiry the domain enters a renewal grace period of around 30 days during which you can still renew at the standard price. After that it moves into a redemption period with a higher recovery fee, and finally to public release where anyone can register it. Set auto-renew to avoid losing it.
Yes. The registry classifies a small number of high-demand names — typically short keywords, brand terms and popular models — as premium. These carry higher registration and renewal fees set by the registry. Our search tool will flag any premium pricing before you check out so there are no surprises.
