The Classic & Vintage Motorcycle – CONSIGNING NOW
Classic and vintage motorcycles are now being consigned for a major auction event in Melbourne with Donington Auctions. The list so far includes European marques, muscle-era bikes, and collectable two-wheelers from top manufacturers.
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 Australian motorcycle market has posted a robust 8.2% sales increase in the first half of 2026, with 46,023 units sold compared to 42,549 in the same period last year, driven primarily by off-road bike demand (FCAI, Jul 9). This growth signals sustained buyer confidence in the broader two-wheeler segment, which continues to feed inventory turnover across auction platforms.
Specialist collector auctions are commanding attention this week. Burns & Co Auctions is running its Classic & Collectable Motorcycle Auction from 13 to 15 July 2026 in Bayswater VIC, with pre-bidding already open (Burns & Co Auctions, Jul 12). Simultaneously, GTS Auctions launches its next motorcycle sale on 14 July 2026, featuring rare collectables alongside its standard range, with Australia-wide delivery available (GTS Auctions, Jul 7). These events highlight strong institutional appetite for both vintage and niche models.
On the volume side, Pickles Auctions continues to maintain active motorcycle listings across Australia, with no notable price spikes observed in the past week (Pickles, Jul 12). The combination of steady used supply and the H1 sales data suggests a balanced market where buyers can still find value, particularly in off-road and standard commuter categories.
Buyers should watch for late bidding action in the Burns & Co and GTS Auctions sales this week, as collector-grade inventory often sees final hour price jumps.

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.

2008 KTM 450 Motorcycle
More detail
This is a 2008 KTM 450, a model known for its punchy power and solid off-road pedigree. It’s listed as an individual lot in Grays’ ongoing online sales, meaning there’s no need to wade through hundreds of other items. Check the listing for the current bid and any condition notes before you jump in. The close date is yet to be confirmed, so keep an eye on the site for updates.
-

Kawasaki Klx Petrol
More detail
This is a straightforward listing for a Kawasaki KLX, a popular trail bike. It is a petrol-powered model, suited to off-road riding. The auction is a standard Grays Online rolling format, meaning the listing will close at a set time.
If you are looking for a project bike, a weekend toy, or a machine to tackle the bush, this is a direct buy. Inspect the photos carefully for condition and wear, as the listing does not specify the year or engine capacity. Factor in any registration costs for WA if you plan to ride it on the road.
-

2005 Suzuki GSXR-600 R1 Petrol (WOVR – Inspected)
More detail
This is a single-lot motorcycle sale from Grays, so there’s no bulk gear to wade through. The GSXR-600 R1 is a well-known sports bike from the mid-2000s, and the fact it’s been inspected under the Written-Off Vehicle Register means the damage history is on the record. That gives you a clearer picture than a private sale where the seller might gloss over the details.
If you’re after a project bike or a cheap track weapon, this is worth a look. The WOVR status will affect rego options depending on your state, but for parts or a dedicated build, it keeps the price down. The auction is a rolling format from Grays, so check the site for the exact close time. No reserve games here, just a straight bid on a known quantity.
-

KTM 250 SX-F Dirt bike Petrol
More detail
This is a direct purchase on a KTM 250 SX-F, a proven performer in the competitive enduro and motocross scene. The bike runs on petrol and is listed as a standalone item, so you are not forced to bid on a mixed lot of gear to get it.
Buyers should check the close date closely as this is part of Grays Online’s regular auction cycle, not a timed event with a fixed end. Inspect the listing for engine hours and overall condition before bidding. Given KTM’s strong resale value in the off-road market, this could be a solid pick for someone looking to get on the track without paying full retail.
-

2010 KTM Sx Off-road Petrol
More detail
This is a straight individual listing for a 2010 KTM Sx, built for off-road riding. The bike runs on petrol and comes from Grays Online’s ongoing auction format, meaning it closes once the timer runs out.
If you’re after a dedicated dirt machine, this KTM is a solid candidate from a known era of their Sx line. No extra gear or vehicles are included, just the one lot. Check the listing for any condition notes or inspection options before bidding.
-

Suzuki RMZ Dirt bike Petrol
More detail
This is a straightforward listing for a Suzuki RMZ dirt bike, a popular choice for off-road riding and motocross. The auction is part of Grays Online’s rolling inventory, so the close date is to be confirmed. If you need a dedicated trail or track bike without road registration hassles, this is worth a look.
The lot is listed as a single motorcycle, so there is no bulk bidding. Check the listing for specific engine size and year, as RMZs range from 125cc to 450cc. Given it’s a Grays auction, expect a standard buyer’s premium and GST on top of the winning bid. Inspect the photos carefully for condition, as these bikes can have hard off-road use.
-
2018 Yamaha MT-07 Petrol
More detail
This is an individual motorcycle lot, not part of a fleet clearance. The 2018 MT-07 is the pre-facelift model, running the CP2 parallel-twin engine that made it a favourite for riders wanting a fun, flickable commuter or weekend toy.
Check the service history and overall condition before bidding, as Grays lists this as a single unit rolling auction. No reserve price is stated, so the final price will depend on demand. If you’re after a reliable middleweight with strong resale value, this is worth a close look.
-
2008 Suzuki Vl800 Cruiser Motorcycle Petrol
More detail
This is an individual motorcycle lot, not a multi-vehicle clearance. The 2008 Suzuki VL800 (often called the Boulevard C50) is a solid mid-size cruiser with a liquid-cooled 805cc V-twin. It offers a low seat height and shaft drive, which means less maintenance than a chain.
As a single-owner bike from Grays Online, it likely comes from a deceased estate or trade-in. Check the listing for service history and any reported damage. The Jandakot location suggests easy inspection if you are in Perth’s southern suburbs. No close date is set yet, so you have time to research typical sale prices for this model.
-
2020 Honda CRF Dirt bike Petrol
More detail
This is a late-model CRF, so you are getting a bike that is only a few years old. Honda’s CRF range is known for reliable four-stroke performance, and a 2020 example should have plenty of life left in it.
Check the listing carefully for the specific engine size, as the CRF line covers everything from trail bikes to full enduro models. Also confirm the bike’s condition and whether it has a current registration. Grays Online auctions often require a pickup from their Jandakot depot, so factor that into your bid. If you need a weekend weapon or a project bike, this is worth a close look.
-
Yamaha Offroad Petrol
More detail
The listing is for a single Yamaha offroad model running on petrol. Given the "offroad" tag, expect a dirt bike or enduro style machine built for trails and rough terrain rather than sealed roads. Grays Online runs these as individual rolling auctions, meaning the lot closes at a set time with no extensions.
Check the listing carefully for the specific model year, engine capacity, and condition notes. Offroad bikes cop a hammering, so look for signs of hard use on the plastics, chain, and tyres. If the photos show a clean unit with minimal wear, it could be a solid buy for weekend riding. The location is Jandakot, WA, so factor in freight or pickup costs if you are not local.
-

KTM Motorcycle Petrol
More detail
This is an individual motorcycle listing from Grays Online’s ongoing auction. It’s a petrol KTM, which typically means a lightweight, high-performance machine built for off-road or adventure riding. KTM is well-regarded for its aggressive styling and punchy engines, so this could be a good buy for someone chasing a capable bike without paying retail.
The auction is rolling, meaning the close date is not fixed. Check the listing for the current bid and any condition notes. If you’re familiar with KTM service intervals or can do a pre-buy inspection, this lot is worth a look. No other vehicles or gear are included.
-

KTM 500EXC-F Petrol
More detail
This is a standalone lot from Grays Online’s ongoing motorcycle sales. The KTM 500EXC-F is a serious off-road weapon, known for its punchy 510cc single-cylinder engine and lightweight chassis. It comes from a single ownership, which suggests consistent maintenance history.
Buyers should check the listing for current odometer reading and service records. As a rolling auction, the close date is flexible, so you can bid at your own pace. Given the demand for these KTMs in the enduro scene, it could draw interest from riders looking for a proven bike without the showroom price.
-

Suzuki RMZ450 Petrol
More detail
This is a standalone listing for a Suzuki RMZ450, a proven motocross machine. The 2019 model comes with a petrol engine and is part of Grays Online’s ongoing vehicle auctions. No reserve price is mentioned, so the final sale will be whatever the bidding settles on.
Buyers should note the bike is sold as-is, with no warranty or test ride mentioned. Check the listing for condition details and any available photos before bidding. The close date is yet to be confirmed, so monitor the timer on the Grays site.
-

2013 Kawasaki Ninja 400 Petrol
More detail
This is a straight-up individual motorcycle lot, not a bulk clearance. The 2013 Ninja 400 is a solid entry-level sports bike, known for its light weight and punchy parallel-twin engine. It’s a popular model for learners on their restricted licence, but still fun for experienced riders looking for a nimble city runabout.
Check the photos for overall condition, as Grays often sells these as-is with no warranty. The close date is yet to be confirmed, so you’ll need to monitor the auction page for the timer to appear. If you’re after a cheap weekend toy or a first bike, this one is worth a look.
-

Honda CRF450R Petrol
More detail
This is a direct listing for a Honda CRF450R, a proven motocross workhorse. The bike runs on petrol and comes from Grays Online’s ongoing auction format, meaning the close date isn’t fixed yet. You’ll want to check the listing for the specific engine hours, condition notes, and any service history.
For buyers, the CRF450R is a competitive choice for track days or trail riding. Grays often lists these as individual lots, so there’s no bundle pressure. Just keep tabs on the timer, as the price can jump late in the cycle. If you’re after a single dirt bike without dealer overhead, this is worth a look.
-

HONDA CRF450R Petrol
More detail
This is a standalone lot from Grays Online, so no need to wade through a catalogue of unrelated gear. The CRF450R is a serious dirt bike built for riders who want a competitive edge on the track. It comes with the usual Honda reliability and a powerful single-cylinder engine that pulls hard out of corners.
If you are after a dedicated off-road machine, this is a solid option. Check the listing for condition details and any service history before bidding. The close date is yet to be confirmed, so keep checking back.
-

2019 Honda CRF250L Petrol
More detail
This is a straightforward solo listing from Grays Online, not a multi-lot clearance. The 2019 CRF250L is a proven workhorse with Honda’s reliable 250cc single-cylinder engine, electric start, and six-speed gearbox. It’s a solid pick for a rider wanting a learner-approved adventure bike with low maintenance costs.
Check the listing for current condition notes and photos, as Grays runs this as a timed auction with a countdown clock. No reserve price is stated, so the final bid decides the sale. If you’re after a cheap entry into dual-sport riding, this is a simple, no-fuss lot to watch.
-

CF Moto CF650 Petrol
More detail
This listing comes from Grays Online’s ongoing vehicle sales, meaning the bike will close when the timer runs out rather than on a fixed date. The CF650 is a direct competitor to entry-level Japanese nakeds, with a steel trellis frame and a claimed 52 horsepower on tap. It’s a simple, air-cooled design that appeals to commuters and learners on a budget.
Buyers should factor in the usual auction costs. Grays adds a buyer’s premium and a processing fee to the final bid. Check the listing for current registration status and any service history, as Grays often sells these as-is. If you’re local to Jandakot, you can inspect the bike before bidding.

The Classic & Vintage Motorcycle – CONSIGNING NOW
More detail
Donington Auctions is building a dedicated catalogue of classic and vintage motorcycles for this August sale. The focus is on quality over quantity, with consignments expected to cover pre-war rarities, 1970s Japanese icons, and British singles and twins. Any bike that fits the collector or performance bracket is being considered.
If you have a restoration project, a barn find, or a fully sorted classic, now is the time to get it in the door. The auction house has a strong track record with European marques and muscle cars, so they know how to present a motorcycle to the right buyers. Consignment terms and valuation appointments are available through their Melbourne office. Serious sellers should contact them well before the August 10 close date to secure a spot in the lineup.

2011 Mitsubishi Triton GL Man Petrol Cab Chassis Ute
More detail
This Triton is a cab chassis model, which means it’s set up for a tray or custom bodywork rather than a standard tub. It runs a petrol engine with a manual gearbox, making it a straightforward choice for tradies or anyone needing a tough farm or worksite vehicle. The GL trim is the base spec, so expect vinyl floors and manual windows, but that keeps weight down and repair costs low.
Being a 2011 model, it’s old enough to avoid the steep depreciation hit but new enough that parts and support are still easy to find. The auction is a rolling format from Grays, so there’s no fixed end time. You’ll need to check the listing for the exact closing conditions and any buyer’s premium or fees. If you’re after a cheap ute to throw a tray on or use as a runabout, this one is worth a close look.
