National Online Motorcycles
A dozen motorcycles are on offer through Pickles, spread across multiple locations nationally. The list runs from a 2018 Suzuki GSX-S125 and a 2023 Yamaha MT-07 to a 2023 BMW R 1200 RT, a 2024 Triumph Scrambler 400 X, plus a Honda CRF250F, a 2021 KTM RC 390 and a 2013 Yamaha Virago 250.
FAQ
What types of motorcycles come up at auction?
Everything from commuter scooters and trail bikes to high-end road bikes and vintage collectables. For the most part they are insurance write-offs, fleet bikes (like Australia Post), repossessions, and deceased estate sales.
Are motorcycles sold with roadworthy certificates?
Generally no. Most bikes are sold as-is. Budget for a roadworthy inspection before riding, and repairs. Bikes from insurance or salvage sales will likely need major repairs (if in fact they can be re-registered).
Can I inspect a bike before bidding online?
Usually, Yes (except for Pickles). Inspection periods are listed on each auctioneer’s site. A pre-purchase inspection from a qualified mechanic is worth the cost on any bike over a few hundred dollars.
What is a PPSR check and do I need one?
A Personal Property Securities Register check confirms the bike isn’t stolen, written off, or under finance. At $2, it’s essential for every purchase. See our article on buying motorbikes from auction for more tips.
Trends & Insights
Australia’s motorcycle market is carrying real momentum into the spring auction season. FCAI figures for January to June 2026 show 46,023 units sold, up 8.2 per cent on the 42,549 moved in the same period last year, with off-road sales surging 21.6 per cent and kids’ and trail bikes leading the growth (Bike Review, Sep 25). That demand is showing up at the block, where recreational and salvage stock continues to clear without the price volatility seen in some other vehicle categories.
Pickles is leaning into that appetite with a national online motorcycles auction opening 28 September. The fortnightly Pickles Online Recreational sale puts selected bikes under the hammer nationwide via online bidding, closing 30 September (Pickles, Sep 27). It follows the company’s electric motorbike liquidation in early September, which moved more than 400 Zero machines unreserved across multiple states (Pickles, Sep 16). That volume of ex-fleet electric stock hitting the market at once is worth watching for anyone tracking residuals in the segment.
Collector interest remains a steady undercurrent. Shannons drew enthusiasts to Hobart on 19 and 20 September for its Motorcycle Spectacular, with over 180 machines on display from veteran to modern and proceeds going to Variety Tasmania (Shannons Club, Sep 23). AllMoto reports continued premium sales for rare classics through September, even as the broader market holds stable (AllMoto, Sep 25).
Buyers should watch how the Pickles national online sale clears on 30 September, since a strong result there will set the tone for recreational stock heading into October.

Rod’s Tips
Grays and Pickles run the most consistent motorcycle volumes. Grays inlcudes a lot of privat sellers while Pickles features rolling online sales that include ex police bikes but mostly insurance sales and sometimes repossessions. Insurance stolen and recovered and write-offs, which if nothing else, are a reliable source for project bikes and parts machines.
Insurance write-offs can be genuine value, if, the damage is purely cosmetic. A bike written off for a cracked fairing and bent lever is very different from one with frame or engine damage, amd sometiomes the prior hides the latter. Inspect the listing photos carefully and ask the auctioneer for a full condition report.
Vintage and collectable bikes attract specialist buyers. If you’re chasing a Japanese classic or a vintage British bike, monitor the collectables auctions at Donington as well as the mainstream vehicle houses.

WA Police Impounded Motorcycle Auction
More detail
This is a police impound clearance, so the mix is practical rather than polished: a road-registerable 250, a near-new electric dirt bike, and a pair of small Hondas. The Hyosung GT250 carries WOVR inspection, which means it’s been through the written-off vehicle register process and is cleared for re-registration, worth a look if you want a cheap commuter or project base.
The 2024 Stomp E-SX01 is the newest thing in the catalogue and sits in the growing electric pit bike space, while the CRF 50F and CZF are the classic small-capacity petrol options that hold their value and get used hard by kids and beginners alike.
Condition across impounded stock varies, so inspect what you can before bidding. Details and photos are on the Grays listing ahead of the 28 September close.
-
2009 Yamaha FZ1 Petrol
More detail
The FZ1 sits in that sweet spot for riders who want litre-bike grunt without the chiropractor bills. Yamaha took the R1’s 998cc engine, retuned it for midrange, and dropped it into a more relaxed frame. The result is a bike that commutes comfortably and still pulls hard when you open it up.
This is a single lot from a Grays Online rolling auction, so it’s just the one bike. At 2009 vintage, condition and service history will matter more than anything. Check the listing for kilometres, rego status, and any listed faults before you commit.
-
Yamaha 125 TTR Petrol
More detail
This is a single-lot listing, not a bulk clearance. What you see is what you’re bidding on: one Yamaha 125 TTR, petrol, from Grays’ online auction stream.
The TTR line is Yamaha’s entry-level four-stroke trail bike, light and simple, which makes it a common pick for learners, kids stepping up from minis, or anyone after a cheap runabout for bush tracks and farm work. Parts are easy to find and servicing won’t scare you.
Close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for timing before you commit. Condition, hours and rego status aren’t detailed here, so inspect the photos and lot notes carefully, or arrange a look before bidding.
-
Yamaha YZ250F Petrol
More detail
This is a standalone listing rather than a multi-lot clearance, which means your attention goes to one machine: a Yamaha YZ250F, the 250cc four-stroke that has long been the workhorse of the motocross paddock. Grays is running it out of Jandakot, WA, so local buyers in the Perth metro can sort inspection and pickup without a cross-country freight bill.
Details beyond the make, model and fuel type are thin, so do the usual homework before bidding. Check the lot page for photos, odometer or hour meter readings, service history and a condition report if one’s posted. For a dirt bike, that means looking closely at the frame, forks, chain and sprockets, and any signs of track abuse.
Closing time is still to be confirmed, so watch the listing for the date to firm up. If you’re chasing a 250F for trail or track use, this one’s worth a look.
-
2010 Hyosung GT250 (WOVR-Inspected)
More detail
This is an individual lot rather than a full dispersal, so you are bidding on one bike. The GT250 is a 250cc V-twin, a common first ride and a cheap way into a road bike. It has been through the Written Off Vehicle Register inspection process, which means it can be re-registered in WA once you sort the paperwork.
Check the listing for the inspection report, odometer reading and any remaining damage before you commit. Close date is still to be confirmed, so watch the Grays page for the timer to go live.
-
2016 KTM 450 450 EXC Petrol
More detail
This is a single-lot listing rather than a full dispersal, so the bike stands on its own. The 450 EXC is KTM’s road-registerable enduro machine, which means it sits in that useful spot between a pure motocross bike and a trail bike. Expect the usual checks: service history, hours on the top end, suspension condition and whether the rego is current.
Grays runs these individual motorcycle lots on a rolling basis, so the close time is still to be confirmed. Keep tabs on the listing for the final date and any inspection windows.
-
2018 KTM SX-F Petrol
More detail
The SX-F badge covers KTM’s motocross range, and a 2018 model year puts this one in the era of the Austrian brand’s well-regarded 450 and 350 four-strokes. Expect the usual motocross hardware: WP suspension, a punchy single-cylinder engine, and a chassis built for jumps and ruts rather than commuting. Condition is the big question with any used dirt bike, so check the listing photos closely for hours, wear, and any signs of crash damage.
It’s a single-lot listing rather than a fleet clearance, which means you’re bidding on one bike and one bike only. Grays runs these as rolling auctions, so the close date is still to be confirmed. Worth watching if you want a track bike without paying new prices.
-
2021 QW MOTO Petrol
More detail
This is a straightforward single-lot sale: one 2021 QW MOTO petrol motorcycle. QW MOTO is a budget-focused brand, so expect a small-capacity commuter or learner-appropriate machine rather than a premium ride. The listing comes via Grays’ rolling auction format, which means the close time is still to be confirmed. Check the listing for the current bid status and closing details before you commit.
-
HONDA CRF 150F Petrol
More detail
The CRF 150F is Honda’s air-cooled four-stroke trail bike, a long-running model known for being manageable and reliable. It suits learners, casual trail riders, or anyone after a low-maintenance bike for farm or bush use. Being a single lot, there is no bundle to sort through.
Grays is running this as part of its rolling auction format, so check the listing for the close time and condition details before bidding. Inspections are worth arranging if you want a closer look at the bike’s actual state.
-
KAWASAKI KLX Petrol
More detail
This is a single-lot listing from a Grays rolling auction, which means the KLX is being sold on its own rather than as part of a larger clearance. For anyone chasing a cheap trail bike or a project build, that’s the format you want: one bike, one price, no padding.
The KLX badge covers Kawasaki’s long-running dual-sport and off-road line, so expect a lightweight single-cylinder thumper built for dirt. Condition, model year, and odometer aren’t detailed in the listing, so check the photos and lot notes on the Grays page before you commit.
Being a rolling auction, the close time isn’t fixed, so the listing will end when bidding stops rather than at a set clock. Inspect in Jandakot if you can, and factor in your own transport if you’re outside the Perth metro.
-
HONDA CRF 50F Petrol
More detail
The CRF 50F is Honda’s long-running entry-level mini bike, and it has earned a reputation as one of the toughest small motorcycles going around. Parts are cheap and plentiful, which makes it a practical buy whether you plan to ride it or tidy it up and move it on.
This is an individual lot from a Grays rolling auction, so it sits alongside a steady stream of other gear rather than being a standalone sale. Close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for timing before you commit.
-
2024 Stomp E-Bike E-SX01
More detail
This is a one-lot listing, so what you see is what you get: a 2024 Stomp E-Bike E-SX01, the electric off-road model from the Stomp range. It’s coming through Grays as part of their rolling online auction format, which means bidding runs continuously rather than on a fixed countdown.
Being a single motorcycle lot rather than a bulk clearance, it suits someone chasing this specific model rather than a mixed pallet of gear. The close date hasn’t been locked in yet, so check the listing directly for the current end time before you commit.
Inspect before bidding if you can. For a used e-bike, battery health and charge cycles matter more than cosmetics, and that’s the sort of thing you want eyes on in person.
-

Yamaha Dirt Bike Motocross Motorcycle
More detail
This is a standalone motorcycle lot listed by Grays, drawn from their ongoing online auction format. The bike is a Yamaha dirt bike built for motocross, a brand with a long track record in off-road machinery and plenty of parts availability if you’re handy with a spanner.
Being a single-lot listing rather than a bulk clearance, the focus is squarely on this one machine. Condition, hours and service history aren’t spelled out in the listing, so it pays to check the photos and any inspection details before bidding.
Jandakot is south of Perth, handy if you’re local and can arrange pickup without a long haul. Closing time is still to be confirmed, so keep tabs on the listing for updates.
-

Yamaha Dirt Bike Petrol
More detail
This is one motorcycle, not a fleet. Grays has put up a Yamaha dirt bike running on petrol, and it’s being sold as an individual lot out of Jandakot in Western Australia.
There’s no closing date locked in yet, so check the listing for timing before you commit. Single-lot motorcycle auctions like this tend to move quickly once bidding opens, and there’s no reserve detail or condition report in the notes, so inspect what you can and read the fine print.
If you’re in the market for a used dirt bike and want to skip the private-seller back-and-forth, this one’s straightforward: one bike, one auction, Grays handling the paperwork.
-
2003 Yamaha YZF-R6 Motorcycle
More detail
This is a single-lot listing rather than a full dispersal, so the bike stands on its own merits. The YZF-R6 launched in 1999 and quickly became the benchmark 600 supersport, with a screaming inline four, aluminium frame and brakes that punched well above the class. The 2003 model sits in the second-generation run, a period when Yamaha was chasing lap times hard.
Buyers should expect the usual due diligence on a 20-plus year old motorcycle: service history, tyre and chain condition, fairing damage and whether it has seen track use. Grays listings of this type typically run with inspections available, so check the listing for viewing times and any condition report before bidding.
Malaga is handy for Perth buyers, with the usual freight options for anyone interstate.
-
YAMAHA GYTR 250F Petrol
More detail
This is a standalone lot from a Grays Online rolling auction, meaning it sits alongside ongoing listings rather than a one-off sale event. The GYTR 250F is Yamaha’s factory-tuned motocross platform, a bike built for riders who want race-spec suspension and engine tuning straight off the floor.
Buyers in WA should note the Jandakot location for inspection and pickup. As with any single-lot auction, condition and hours will matter more than volume, so check the listing details and photos closely before bidding. Closing time is still to be confirmed, so keep tabs on the page for updates.

Motorbike, Marine & Recreation Assets Auction
More detail
The lot list runs across marine, motorcycle and recreation gear. On the water side there’s a 2008 Stingray 240CS, the 2017 Bar Crusher 615WR Centre Console paired with a Suzuki outboard, a 2016 Yamaha FX SVHO, and a 1995 Dunbier Marine Products R15 boat trailer to tow it home.
Camping and towing lots include a 2025 Market Direct Campers Explorer FF in black, a 2017 Blue Tongue Campers Overland XD, a 1996 Coromal Capri dual axle, a 2026 Green Pty Ltd box trailer, a 2015 enclosed trailer, and a 2000 car carrier trailer. Bikes are covered by a 2024 CF Moto NK 300 and the 2021 Yamaha YZF-R1M in silver blue carbon.
Lloyds lists this as a multi-lot online auction, with the catalogue also spanning jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods. Bidding closes 30 September 2026.

2022 Yamaha SEH2 Delight Petrol
More detail
This is a single-lot listing, a 2022 Yamaha SEH2 Delight running on petrol. The Delight badge sits on Yamaha’s compact step-through range, built for easy mounting, upright riding and cheap running around town.
Being a 2022 build, it’s only a few years old, so expect the sort of condition that comes with light use rather than a rebuild project. Grays is running it as an individual motorcycle lot out of Pooraka, SA.
Worth a look if you want a tidy scooter without paying new prices. Check the listing for inspection details and confirm the close time, which is still to be confirmed.

Two NSW Heritage motorbike plates
More detail
Lawsons runs weekly auctions out of Annandale covering antique and modern furniture, books, wine, jewellery, decorative arts, collectables, paintings, and bric-a-brac, so this pair sits alongside the usual mixed catalogue rather than in a dedicated numberplate sale. That means less competition from plate specialists and more chance of a sensible price.
Heritage plates are a finite resource. Once a number is issued it stays with the vehicle or the owner, and the pool of low-digit or distinctive combinations shrinks every year. Buying at auction, rather than through a dealer or private listing, is often the cheapest way in.
Worth checking the plate numbers against Service NSW rules before you bid, especially if you plan to run them on a bike that isn’t currently registered. Condition, mounting hardware, and whether the plates are currently assigned all matter. Inspect in person if you can, and confirm the collection and transfer process with Lawsons before close.

The Classic & Vintage Motorcycle Auction – CONSIGNING NOW
More detail
Donington Auctions runs classic, collector and performance car sales out of Melbourne, and this event narrows the focus to motorcycles. Consignments are open now, which means the catalogue will build over the coming months rather than landing all at once.
The house’s usual territory covers European marques alongside muscle cars, so the bike list will likely span British, Italian and Japanese machinery, with the odd collectable thrown in. Condition will vary from project bikes to turnkey riders.
If you have something sitting in the shed, consigning early gets it in front of buyers sooner. If you are buying, check back as lots are added. The auction closes 2 November 2026.
