Part II – Classic & Vintage Motorcycle Auction – Including Enduro, Scramblers & Rare Parts
A stack of classic and vintage motorcycles is being listed through Donington Auctions in Melbourne, with enduro and scrambler machinery among the headline acts. Expect rare parts to be mixed through the catalogue alongside the bikes, so it pays to read the lot list properly before bidding closes on 9 November.
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.
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.

Model Cars & Motorbikes Timed Online Auction
More detail
Burns and Co bring their speciality in classic and collectable cars, motorcycles and memorabilia to this timed online format, with delivery out of Bayswater. The catalogue leans on display pieces and two-wheeled collectables, so expect a mix of scale models and motorcycles rather than everyday transport.
It suits collectors chasing shelf-fillers or a project bike, with bidding open until 7 October. Delivery from Market Drive keeps logistics simple for anyone outside the area.

Part II – Classic & Vintage Motorcycle Auction – Including Enduro, Scramblers & Rare Parts
More detail
This is Part II of Donington Auctions’ classic and vintage motorcycle sale, and the catalogue leans hard into enduro and scrambler territory. Those two categories have quietly become the strongest performers in the collectible bike market, so a dedicated sale like this is worth a close look.
Rare parts are a big part of the appeal. Loose components, spares and hard-to-find pieces often go for far less than complete machines, which suits anyone mid-restoration or chasing a specific part they have been hunting for years.
Donington Auctions runs out of Melbourne and specialises in classic, collector and performance vehicles, with European marques and muscle cars in the mix alongside motorcycles. Bidding closes 9 November 2026. Read the lot list carefully, check condition where you can, and price your bids before the final day.

Part I – Classic & Vintage Motorcycle Auction – Including Enduro & Scramblers
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.

Major Brand E-Scooter & E-Bike Event
More detail
Lloyds Auctions is running a multi-lot online sale that stretches well beyond scooters. Alongside the BLVD Elite machines, the catalogue takes in vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods, so there is plenty to sift through beyond the headline lots.
The BLVD Elite scooters are the drawcard for anyone after electric transport. Every listing shows the same $1,299 RRP, which gives you a clear reference point when the bidding starts.
With 12+ lots and a 11 November close, it pays to read each listing properly. Condition, accessories and paperwork can vary across lots, so check the details on the ones you want before bidding.

Motorbike, Marine & Recreation Assets Auction
More detail
This is a genuine mixed bag, and that is the appeal. The boat list runs from a 1980 Haines Hunter 445C Half Cabin through to a 2003 Ally Craft 410 Scout Runabout with a Yamaha 30, so there is something for a first-timer and something for a buyer chasing a bigger rig. The personal watercraft stand out: the 2024 Sea-Doo FishPro Sport 170 and 2022 Sea-Doo RXT-X RS 300 are recent models, and the 2016 Yamaha FX SVHO rounds out the ski options.
On the trailer side, several items are listed as unused, including a 2025 MAXI Premium Package Tradie Trailer, a 2025 GREEN PTY LTD tipper trailer and a 2025 Nathan Shop 8×8 multi purpose box cargo unit. A 2018 PBL Trailers enclosed trailer in white is also in the mix.
Lloyds notes the wider catalogue spans vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods, so it pays to scroll the full list rather than stop at the boats. Everything runs online, with bidding closing 11 November.

National Online Salvage Motorcycles
More detail
This is a national online salvage sale, so the bikes are held at various locations rather than one yard. That means you will need to check the individual lot details for where each machine sits and factor in transport before you bid.
The spread is wide. Older roadsters like the 2000 BMW R1150 GS, 2003 Honda VTR250 and 2005 Yamaha XVS650 sit alongside near-new stock: a 2024 Harley Davidson, a 2024 Kawasaki Vulcan S ABS, a 2025 Yamaha YZF-R7 LAMs and a 2025 KTM 990 RC R. Sports fans get a 2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R (636) and a 2023 BMW S 1000 RR Race, while dirt riders have the 2017 Honda CRF250L and a Kawasaki KLX450R. There is also a 2017 Znen in the mix.
All lots are salvage, so condition will vary and repairs should be expected. Read each listing carefully, check the damage notes and confirm the location before committing. The auction closes 11 November 2026.

Motorbike Parts Retailer Inventory Liquidation
More detail
This is a trade-scale clearance: the pickings are specific rather than generic. Standout lots include the Cycle Electric CE-601-08 three phase units (listed twice, so there is a spare or two to chase), the BDL-TFCPS-100 clutch and friction plate set, and the S&S Cycle 560-0426 secondary drive belt. The Magnum Shielding AS37322 Sterling Chromite II cables and Arlen Ness Monster Sucker 90 degree intake will suit anyone building or repairing a custom twin.
The Rollies Speed Shop BAI-D35-0223GB 3in forward controls round out the branded stock, and the assorted bulk lots of motorcycle parts and service gear are where the volume buyers will do their sums. With 12+ lots closing on 16 November 2026, there is room to spread bids across branded components and bulk stock without stretching one budget line.
Lloyds Auctions runs this as a multi-lot online sale, and the wider catalogue spans vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods, so it pays to scan the full listing rather than just the motorcycle section. Check each lot’s condition notes and quantities before bidding, particularly on the bulk lots where contents vary.
