Inside This Week’s Motorbike Auction Market – 13 Upcoming Sales inc Classic Motorcycles, Salvage Bikes & Scooters

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.

This listing is a single motorcycle lot, not a bulk clearance, so you’re bidding on one specific 2018 Kymco Agility. The Agility is a well-known lightweight scooter, popular for city work and short trips, and this example comes from Grays’ rolling auction format, meaning it closes on a set date rather than a live countdown.

Buyers should check the photos and any condition notes carefully, as Grays typically sells these as-is with no warranty. If you’re after a budget runabout, the Agility’s 50cc-class engine keeps running costs low, and parts are easy to source locally. The Dandenong South location is a pick-up point, so factor in transport if you’re not nearby.

Given the close date is over a year away, you’ve got time to watch the bidding, but don’t expect a reserve to be too high. Scooters in this condition often move for a few hundred bucks, so it’s worth a look if you need something cheap and simple.

The KTM 450 SX-F is the pick of the lot if you want a serious dirt weapon. It’s a modern, race-ready enduro that’ll chew up tracks and trails without missing a beat. Expect to pay for the privilege, but it’s a lot of machine for the money if the hours are reasonable.

The Suzuki GSX-R600R3 is the road bike option, though the WOVR inspection tag means it’s been written off at some point. That’s not necessarily a dealbreaker, but you’ll want to check the repair paperwork and get a look at it in person before bidding. It could be a cheap way into a proper sports bike, or a money pit if the damage was structural.

The Kawasaki 110RL is the odd one out, likely a small commuter or farm hack. It’s not going to set any speed records, but for someone after a cheap runabout or a first bike, it could be a steal. All three are police impounds, so history is patchy and condition is buyer’s responsibility. The auction closes on 11 August, so get down to Jandakot for an inspection if you’re serious.

This lot is a standalone Kawasaki 110RL, a no-frills petrol model that’s been a staple for basic transport and light utility duties. The 110cc engine keeps running costs low, and the simple build means parts and servicing are straightforward. It’s not a show pony, but for someone needing a reliable, cheap set of wheels, it fits the bill.

The auction closes on 11 August 2026, so there’s time to inspect the listing and line up a bid. Grays runs this as a timed online sale, so check the countdown and have your maximum ready before the final minutes. Given it’s a single bike lot, the price should stay sensible, but expect competition if the condition is tidy. If you’re after a budget runabout, this is worth a look.

This GSX-R600R3 is a straight-up individual lot, not part of a bulk clearance, so it’s likely to draw attention from riders who know the model. The 2008 R3 variant is a solid middleweight, known for its punchy four-cylinder motor and sharp handling, and this one’s been through the WOVR process, meaning it’s been assessed for repairability or roadworthiness. That’s a big plus if you’re planning to get it registered, but it also means you should check the inspection report details before bidding.

Grays is running this as a rolling auction, so there’s no fixed end-time frenzy, but you’ll still need to watch your bid closely. The bike’s in Jandakot, so if you’re local, you can arrange a physical inspection, which is smart given the WOVR tag. No word on kms or service history in the listing, so factor that into your bid, but for a rider after a late-model GSX-R without paying dealer prices, this could be a decent score.

This KTM 450 SX-F is a serious piece of kit for anyone chasing a competitive off-road weapon. The 2017 model year benefits from KTM’s proven chassis and WP suspension, and it’s been listed as a standalone lot rather than buried in a bulk machinery sale. That means you’re bidding on one bike, not competing with someone wanting a whole workshop.

For buyers, check the usual off-road wear points: chain and sprockets, fork seals, and the air filter. The 450 SX-F is a race bike, so service history matters more than road rego, which it won’t have. Grays has it in Jandakot, so if you’re in Perth, you can inspect it before the close date. If you’re interstate, factor in freight costs and make sure you’re comfortable buying sight unseen. The auction runs on a rolling close, so don’t leave your bid to the last second.

The ST1300 is a serious mile-eater, and this one’s a straight individual lot rather than part of a mixed disposal. Honda’s V-four engine is smooth and torquey, and the shaft drive means no chain maintenance headaches down the track. If you’re after a capable highway rig or a commuter with a bit of presence, this fits the bill.

Grays has this listed as a standard petrol model, so no wild modifications to worry about, but as with any second-hand bike, give the electrics and cooling system a once-over. The auction closes on 12 August 2026, so you’ve got time to arrange a pre-bid inspection, but don’t leave your max bid to the last minute, the timer’s unforgiving. Location is Jandakot, so factor in pickup logistics if you’re not local.

This is a straightforward entry-level electric motorcycle, and the Braaap MotoE is a decent pick for short commutes or a first bike. It runs an automatic drivetrain, so no clutch or gear changes, just twist and go. Being used, you’ll want to factor in battery condition and any wear, but at $309 it’s already well below what a new one would set you back.

The listing is part of Grays’ ongoing online auction format, and the lot is located in Yennora. With the close date still to be announced, you’ve got time to suss it out, but don’t expect it to sit at this price for long once bidding heats up. If you’re after a cheap electric runabout, this is worth a look.

This one is spread across multiple locations, so factor in freight or collection before you bid. The headline act is the 2024 Ducati Streetfighter V4 S, a bike that retailed for serious coin new, and it’s sitting alongside a BMW R 1300 GS Adventure that’s barely been on the market. For sports fans there’s also a 2024 Honda CBR650R ABS and a 2024 Kawasaki EX400G, while the 2013 Triumph Daytona offers a cheaper entry point into a proper middleweight.

If you’re after something more sensible, the 2024 Yamaha NMAX 155 ABS is a solid city weapon, and the 2018 Honda CB125E is about as cheap as two-wheeled transport gets. There’s also a Sur-Ron electric dirt bike in the mix, which is a bit of a wildcard. The 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 and the 2015 Piaggio round out the list, so it’s a decent spread of styles and price points.

Remember these are salvage units, so do your homework on the damage and what it’ll take to get them registered. Pickles lists condition reports and photos for each lot, so check those before you commit. The auction closes on 12 August, and with 12-plus lots, the bidding should stay lively right to the end.

The marine lots are the core of this one, with something for every budget. The 2025 WaveRunner is the headline, barely run-in and ready for summer. If you’d rather stay dry, the 2024 Harvok 48V electric caravan is a modern, quiet option, while the 1999 Spaceline Odyssey Series II is a more traditional, budget-friendly tow-behind. The 2016 LDV V80 motorhome is a genuine tourer, not a weekend conversion, and the km reading suggests plenty of life left.

For the tinkerers, there are two non-running jet skis that could be a cheap project, plus a circa 1980 fibreglass runabout and a 1990 SeaJay 4.3 BarraBoat. The 2004 Quintrex Breeze About comes with a Tohatsu M40C outboard, which is a solid combo for estuary fishing. The 6.5-metre centre console RIB is the one to watch if you want something seaworthy without paying new prices.

Lloyds runs this as a multi-lot online auction, so registration and pre-bidding are open now. Check the condition reports on the timber cruiser and the older fibreglass boats carefully, as those are the ones where hidden rot can bite. Everything clears on the one close date, so factor in transport if you’re bidding

This isn’t a bulk clearance, just one clean Ninja 250 from the look of it. The EX250J is the fuel-injected model, which makes it a solid pick over the older carburettor versions for reliability and cold starts. It’s got enough poke for highway work without scaring a new rider, and parts are cheap if anything needs attention.

Check the service history if you can, and factor in a fresh set of tyres and a battery unless the photos show otherwise. The auction closes on 12 August, so there’s time to do your homework. Given it’s a single lot, bidding could stay sensible, but these Ninjas do hold a following. If the condition matches the description, it’s a practical buy that’ll hold its value when you move up.

The YZ250F is Yamaha’s benchmark 250cc four-stroke MXer, and this one’s listed as a petrol model, which means no messing with electric start or fuel injection quirks if it’s an older generation. Check the photos for the year and hours, because that’s where the value sits. A clean YZ250F with low run time is a solid buy for club racing or weekend trail work, but if it’s been flogged on a track, budget for a top-end rebuild.

Grays Online runs this as a timed auction, so you’ll need to register and bid before the close on 12 August 2026. Pickup is from Pooraka, so factor in a trailer or ute. No dealer prep, no warranty, but also no showroom tax. If you know your way around a spanner, this could be a sharp price for a genuine race bike. Just inspect the lot details carefully before you commit.
