used bike price guide

Shopping for a used bike and wondering what’s fair money? In Australia, commuters (125–300 cc) usually run AUD $2k–$6k used with new equivalents around AUD $4k–$7k; LAMS 300–400 cc sport/roadsters sit about AUD $3.5k–$7.5k used versus AUD $6k–$9k new.

Middleweight twins/inline-fours (600–700 cc) are typically AUD $5k–$10k used and AUD $11k–$15k new, while litre-class sports and big adventure bikes can span AUD $9k–$20k+ used and AUD $20k–$35k new.

Condition, kilometres, service history, tyres/consumables, and tasteful mods move the needle more than a loud pipe ever will.

For sanity checks, compare listings on Tradingpost, dealer sites and Bikesales, then cross‑reference values on RedBook; if three sources agree, you’re probably in the ballpark.

And always budget for transfer, insurance and a surprise set of brake pads—because the only thing faster than a 600 is how quickly costs add up.
