One the actual site, make the homepage easier to understand what you can do on the site. Most people wont read the text. You only have about 30seconds to tell them what you do.

Also do some simple seo on your site by doing things like settng your title to "Buy bikes and Sell motorcycles, UK"

Once you fix the site, then focus on getting people there.
