GUTE AUTOS offers damaged and salvage motorcycles and scooters to motor trade professionals, sold as is at a fixed price. Each bike arrives by e-mail as a file: photos, damage, runner or non-runner status, available documents and collection location. You commit, we confirm.
Which damaged motorcycles are on offer
Motorcycles come in less often than cars, but regularly. Files may cover:
- roadsters and sports bikes;
- tourers and adventure bikes;
- cruisers;
- scooters and maxi-scooters;
- electric two-wheelers.
Stock changes with arrivals. It is not published as a catalogue: files go straight to registered trade buyers. The vehicles come mainly from specialist dealers in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and other European countries.
Damaged motorcycle: what to look at
On a motorcycle, even a minor fall can damage expensive parts. Before committing, look in particular at:
| Point | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Frame and forks | Any distortion changes the whole repair calculation |
| Side of the fall | Levers, gear lever, footrests, engine covers, exhaust |
| Fairings and lights | Often expensive on sports bikes and tourers |
| Wheels and discs | To be checked after a front impact |
| Electronics | Dashboard, ECU, rider aids |
| Mileage and year | For resale or for the value of the parts |
Each file describes the known damage. Photos and descriptions do not replace your own assessment: it is up to you to estimate the repair cost or the value of the parts.
Our files are currently written in French. The photos and key figures are easy to read, and you can ask questions by e-mail before committing.
Status and paperwork
A motorcycle may carry a French administrative status or one from its country of origin. Do not assume that the rules applying to cars apply in the same way to motorcycles: check the status stated in the file, the documents available and, above all, the registration, import and roadworthiness rules of your own country.
Which professionals buy damaged motorcycles
- Motorcycle workshops and garages: repair, then resale with the damage history disclosed where the rules of your country require it.
- Dismantlers and recyclers: engines, wiring looms, wheels and chassis parts, within the rules on dismantling that apply in your country.
- Dealers specialising in two-wheelers.
- Exporters to other markets.
We do not sell to private individuals. A damaged motorcycle calls for a workshop, know-how and a good knowledge of the rules for putting it back on the road. Other categories are on the damaged vehicles page, including damaged cars.

Frequently asked questions
Are the motorcycles sold with keys and documents?
It depends on the file. The documents available are listed in each offer. Check them before committing.
Can I buy a motorcycle for parts only?
Dismantling a vehicle to sell its parts may be subject to specific rules. Check the rules that apply to your business in your own country. The file gives you what you need to assess the bike.
Are the motorcycles runners?
Runner or non-runner status is stated in each file. A bike described as a runner is not necessarily allowed on the road: check its administrative status.
Is transport included?
No. Prices exclude transport. The collection location is given in each file.
