2013 Harley Davidson FXDF103 Motorcycle
A 2013 Harley-Davidson FXDF103 Fat Bob is up for bidding in Jandakot, WA, listed through Grays Online. This one’s a straight V-twin cruiser with the 103 cubic inch engine, blacked-out styling, and that signature Fat Bob stance.
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
The headline event of the past week was undoubtedly Pickles’ no-reserve clearance of over 400 Zero electric motorcycles, a sale that reset market expectations for EV two-wheeler values. Bikes changed hands for between $3,000 and over $15,000, landing at roughly one-third of retail prices that reached up to $46,800. With most units going to individual buyers and just 33 to wholesalers, the sheer volume moved in a single day has effectively doubled the potential pool of new e-motorcycle registrations for the year, a figure that will ripple through residual value calculations for some time (EV Central, Sep 7).
Salvage and impounded stock continues to be the engine room of the national auction calendar. Grays ran the WA Police Impounded Motorcycle Auction on Aug 24, with lots ranging from a 2024 Stomp E-Bike to a 2010 Hyosung GT250, while ongoing weekly volumes from both Pickles and Grays are absorbing consistently high supply without any sign of a slowdown in vendor consignments (Auction Finder, Aug 31). For buyers chasing late-model commuters and entry-level dirt bikes, this channel remains the most predictable source of stock moving at wholesale-adjacent pricing.
On the collector front, Burns & Co opened its Muscle, Classic & Collectable Car & Motorcycle Auction on Sep 1, a three-night event spanning Bayswater VIC and Beresfield NSW. The catalogue leans heavily on British iron, with a 1948 Norton International and Triumph Tiger 110 headlining a sale that has pre-bidding live and inspections scheduled (Auction Finder / Burns & Co, Aug 31). For those chasing parts and reference material rather than rolling stock, Donington Auctions’ Motorcycle Literature Auction on Sep 7 in Melbourne offers workshop manuals and period brochures for classic European and Japanese performance machines, a niche segment that consistently draws specialist collectors (Auction Finder, Aug 31).
Looking at the week ahead, the major national online events from Pickles and Grays close out by Sep 8, while Lloyds Auctions’ Motorbike, Marine & Recreation Assets Auction on Sep 9 will test whether mixed recreational lots can sustain bidder enthusiasm against the specialist sales (Pickles / Grays, Sep 6). Buyers should watch for post-clearance pricing pressure on used electric motorcycles and any flow-on effect into conventional commuter values.

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.

Motorcycle Literature Auction
More detail
Donington Auctions has built a name for itself shifting classic and performance vehicles, but this catalogue is pure paper trail. If you’re nutting out a restoration or chasing a specific spec sheet, this is where you fill the gaps. The lots lean towards the kind of material that doesn’t turn up on eBay every day: dealer brochures with original paint chips, factory workshop manuals with wiring diagrams, and club publications that predate the internet.
What makes this one worth a look is the mix. There’s bound to be something for the British bike tragic, the Japanese two-stroke buff, or the bloke chasing Italian exotica. Even if the lot list is light on specifics right now, the sheer volume of printed matter from a specialist auction house suggests depth. Check the condition notes carefully, because paper can be a minefield, foxing, creases, and missing covers all affect value. Bidding closes 7 September 2026, so you’ve got time to do your homework, but don’t leave it to the last minute.

2018 Kymco Agility Motor Cycle Petrol
More detail
This is a single-lot listing for a 2018 Kymco Agility, a solid little commuter scooter that’s cheap to run and easy to park. Kymco’s Agility range is known for being straightforward and reliable, and this one’s a recent-enough model to still have plenty of life left. If you’re after a first bike, a delivery hack, or just something to beat the petrol prices on the daily grind, this fits the bill.
The listing is part of Grays’ ongoing vehicle sales, so it’s worth checking the photos and any service history they’ve uploaded. No word on kilometres or rego status, so factor in a proper inspection if you’re serious. Bidding closes on 9 September 2026, so there’s no rush, but don’t leave it to the last minute to sort out transport and pickup from Dandenong South.

2013 Harley Davidson FXDF103 Motorcycle
More detail
The FXDF103 is the Fat Bob variant, known for its chunky front forks, dual headlights, and muscular tank. This 2013 model runs the air-cooled Twin Cam 103, pushing plenty of low-end torque for around-town riding or highway hauling. It’s a complete bike as a single lot, so no stripping parts off a mixed machinery sale.
For buyers, check the odometer reading and service history in the listing photos before bidding. Grays runs this as a rolling close, so the end time shifts with late bids. Jandakot pickup means you’ll need transport sorted if you’re not riding it out, and factor in WA transfer costs if you’re from out of state. Worth a look if you want a late-model cruiser without paying showroom prices.
-
Electric Motor Bike
More detail
This is a standalone bike lot, not part of a bigger clearance, so it’s a straightforward buy for someone chasing an electric ride without the dealership hassle. The listing is light on specifics, but the category points to a road-registerable machine rather than a dirt toy or scooter. Given Grays’ rolling format, the price will climb as the close date approaches, so check the current bid and decide your ceiling early.
What stands out here is the lack of competition from bulk buyers. Single-vehicle listings often slip under the radar compared to multi-lot auctions, which can work in your favour if you’re patient. Factor in transport from Jandakot if you’re not local, and confirm the battery condition before bidding, as replacement packs can sting on older electric models. For a quiet, cheap runabout, this could be a tidy score.
-
HONDA CRF 50F Petrol
More detail
This lot is a standalone Honda CRF 50F, a well-known entry-level dirt bike that holds its value and takes a beating. It’s a four-stroke, air-cooled 49cc unit with an automatic clutch, so it’s forgiving for new riders while still being a legit piece of Honda engineering. The CRF range has a strong rep in Australia for reliability, and the 50F is the one most families start on.
Grays is running this as part of their ongoing motorcycle sales out of Jandakot, so expect the usual online auction process with a set closing time. Check the photos for condition details, as these bikes often get dropped and scraped. If it’s tidy, it’ll suit someone after a cheap runabout for the paddock or a first bike for the kids. Factor in pickup from Jandakot if you’re bidding from further afield.
-
ThumpStar OFF ROAD Petrol
More detail
This is a single-lot listing, not a bulk clearance, so it suits someone chasing one specific machine rather than a dealer grabbing stock. The ThumpStar brand is known for budget-friendly, no-frills off-roaders, and this petrol model should appeal to riders who want a simple, air-cooled thumper without electronics getting in the way.
Grays has it running through their standard online auction format, with the close time set for 8 September 2026. Since it’s a rolling finish, you’ll want to watch the final minutes closely if you’re serious. Located in Jandakot, it’s convenient for Perth buyers, but interstate punters can factor in freight if the price stays sensible.
Check the photos and any service notes before bidding, as ThumpStar parts are generally easy to source, but condition varies lot to lot. If you’re comfortable with a basic single-cylinder dirt bike, this one could be a cheap entry into off-road riding.
-
KTM OFF ROAD Petrol
More detail
This is a standalone motorcycle lot, not a mixed machinery clearance. If you’re after a dedicated off-road weapon, this KTM is worth a close look. Petrol engine means no mucking about with electric conversions or charging setups, just fill it and go.
Grays runs these individual listings regularly, so the condition and service history will be spelled out in the full description. Pay attention to the photos for wear on the plastics, tyres, and chain. If it’s been raced or ridden hard, you’ll want to factor in a service before you hit the trails. Bidding closes on 8 September 2026, so line up your maximum now and let the timer do the work.
-
SURRON Electric Bike
More detail
This is a single-lot listing for a Surron electric bike, not a mixed machinery sale. Surron’s Light Bee range is the usual suspect here, known for punchy mid-drive power and light weight, making them popular for trail riding and pit duty. If you’re chasing a quiet, low-maintenance runabout, this is a different option to a petrol dirt bike.
Grays has it listed as a motorcycle within their rolling auction format, so the close date is a guide rather than a hard deadline. The bike is located at their Jandakot depot, which means you’ll need to factor in pickup from Perth’s southern suburbs. No word on kms travelled or service history in the listing, so treat it as a project or a bike that needs a once-over before hitting the trails. Check the photos for scratches or signs of hard off-road use, and confirm the charger and any spare batteries are included before you commit.
-
Green Mini Motorbike Petrol
More detail
This is a standalone motorcycle listing, so you’re bidding on one machine only, not a mixed lot. The bike is petrol-powered and finished in green, which suggests a typical off-road or paddock-style mini bike rather than a road-registered model. Given the category sits under motorcycles and vehicles, it’s likely a runabout for a kid or a light-duty toy for adults, but check the photos and condition report before committing.
Grays Online is running this as part of their ongoing individual vehicle sales, so the close date is fixed. No auctioneer notes beyond the basic description, which means you’ll need to rely on the listing images for wear, scratches, or mechanical issues. If you’re local to Jandakot, inspection is your best bet, otherwise factor in freight or pickup costs. Bidding is simple, but don’t expect a warranty or a test ride. For a cheap entry into mini bike ownership, this could be worth a look, but set your limit based on what you see, not what you hope.
-
2010 Honda CBR600RR7 Petrol
More detail
This CBR600RR7 is the kind of bike that appeals to riders who want a proven middleweight without the electronics overload. The 2010 model year still has that sharp, track-ready chassis but remains user-friendly for weekend rides or commuting. Grays has listed it as an individual lot, so you’re not wading through a bulk machinery auction to find it.
Check the photos for condition details, but the listing points to a clean, unmodified example. No mention of service history in the notes, so factor in a once-over before you ride. The close date is set for 8 September 2026, so you’ve got time to do your homework, but don’t leave the bid to the last minute if you’re serious. Jandakot pickup means you’ll need to arrange transport or ride it away, so plan for that.
-
2020 Honda CRF125F Petrol
More detail
This single-motorcycle lot is a straight 2020 Honda CRF125F, running on petrol and ready for action. The CRF125F is a proven starter bike, with an electric start, smooth four-stroke engine, and low seat height that suits younger or shorter riders without feeling underpowered for light trail work.
Buyers should check the listing for current condition notes and photos, as Grays often runs these as individual lots without a detailed inspection report. Being a 2020 model, it’s relatively new, so look for signs of tip-overs or off-road wear, common on this style of bike.
The auction closes on 8 September 2026, so there’s time to do your homework. If you’re chasing a dependable Honda trail bike for paddock use or as a first bike, this one’s worth a look. No reserve games here, just a straightforward private-sale-style lot through a major auction house.
-
Kawasaki KX Durt Bike
More detail
This one’s for the trail riders and track junkies. The Kawasaki KX is a proven performer in the dirt, built for aggressive riding and quick laps. If you’re after a project bike or a race-ready machine, this lot’s worth a look.
Grays Online is listing it as an individual motorcycle, so there’s no bulk gear to wade through. Check the photos for condition, and factor in any servicing or parts you might need. Bidding closes 8 September 2026, so get your bid in before the timer runs out.
-
2011 SUZUKI HAYABUSA GSX1300R Petrol
More detail
The Hayabusa needs no introduction. It’s the bike that redefined top-speed bragging rights in the late ’90s, and this 2011 GSX1300R carries that legacy with its 1340cc inline-four. For a buyer after a proven long-haul tourer or a weekend weapon, this is a solid chance to grab a modern classic without paying showroom prices.
Grays is running this as an individual motorcycle lot, so it’s separate from any bulk machinery sales. Check the condition report closely before bidding, as these bikes can hide wear in the clutch or chain if they’ve been ridden hard. Jandakot pickup means you’ll need to arrange transport or ride it away, so factor in rego and roadworthy costs if that’s your plan.
If you’re chasing a Hayabusa for a project or a daily rider, this lot’s worth a look. Bids close on 8 September 2026, so there’s time to do your homework on service history and any aftermarket parts fitted.

Motorbike, Marine & Recreation Assets Auction
More detail
The marine lots are the clear drawcard here, with a spread from a practical 1969 Quintrex 4mlg to the 8.5-metre 1980 Yamaha Centre Cabin Cruiser. There’s also a 1996 Blaxell Surfrider paired with a Mercury 200hp stern drive, a fibreglass runabout with a 115hp Mercury, and a Waterways runabout around 14-16ft. If you want a bigger project, the sailing vessel is listed as a project, so factor in time and money before bidding.
On the camping and towing side, the 2023 Mars Campers Space XL is the newest item and likely to draw attention, while the 1988 Coronet caravan offers a more budget-friendly option. The 1995 Toyota Coaster HZB50R shows 330,354km on the clock, so it’s a working bus rather than a show pony, but it could suit a conversion or site runabout. A 2016 Stirling SE and a 2026 Green Pty Ltd car trailer round out the towables.
Lloyds runs this as a multi-lot online auction, so you’re bidding against the clock on each item individually. Check the condition reports and photos carefully, especially on the older hulls and the caravan, as there’s no on-site inspection mentioned. Bid on what you’ve researched, not what looks like a bargain at a glance.
