When you’re checking off what makes a great summer, many would say great weather, a nice holiday or just to put your feet up and relax. But, for motorcycle enthusiasts it’s simple, sinking your teeth into a bike rebuilding project is the key to enjoying the summer months…

Nothing matches that feeling of accomplishment when you find an otherwise condemned motorcycle, donate some time and effort to it, and see it return to the road in all its glory. None of this would be possible without the great deals available from motorcycle salvage facilities, of which Copart is one of the market leaders, with 15 facilities which stretch to every corner of the UK.

Top Motorcycle Salvage Picks This Week

With the endless June rain set to finally stop and a glorious summer just around the corner, what better time to find a motorcycle salvage lot to get your teeth into?

Below are a few lots that we think are amazing finds!

Yamaha YZF R1 – Lot 37640899

This Yamaha YZF is a CAT N write off with primary damage to the side, but the damage is non-structural, so with a few repairs and the right care and attention, this motorcycle could hit the road again this summer. It is located at our Sandy facility, just to the east of Bedford in Bedfordshire. It's 12 years old and has only 23,543 miles on the clock.

Piaggio MP3 500 LT – Lot  35157689

Another CAT N write off, this 2019 Piaggio has suffered damage to its front end following an accident. It’s less than a year old and with just 222 miles on the clock, it has plenty of potential to be repaired and re-sold for a great price.

Triumph Thruxton - Lot 39135879

Another gem is this Triumph Thruxton. A very well engineered and premium motorcycle, this CAT N write off could be a bargain to the lucky winner of the lot at auction. At just 3 years old, this well-reviewed motorbike could prove to be a fantastic investment for you.
