Just Motorbike Wreckers is based at Derrimut, in Melbourne’s west, so Melbourne buyers are dealing with the source rather than a reseller in another state. Every part in the online shop comes off a bike that has been stripped, checked and photographed at the same site you can drive to.
That matters when a fairing panel or a wiring loom needs to fit first go. Call ahead, check stock, and either collect the part yourself or have it packed for delivery within the week. Being able to speak to the person who pulled the part apart, rather than a call centre in another city, cuts out a lot of the guesswork for local riders. If you need to know whether a fairing has stress cracks or a loom has been tested, someone who actually pulled it off the donor bike can tell you straight away, not a warehouse worker reading a description off a screen.
Stock changes weekly. At any time there are roughly 90 dismantled bikes listed, covering road, dirt and dual-sport machines from Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, KTM, Husqvarna, BMW, Ducati, Aprilia and Gas Gas. Engines, bodywork, wheels, electrics, exhausts and smaller components are catalogued as each bike comes apart.
Because the warehouse is in Melbourne, turnaround on a local order is usually quicker than for buyers in other states, since there is no interstate freight leg to add. New bikes come in regularly and not everything makes it online before it sells, so it is worth checking back or asking directly if you cannot see what you need. Listings are updated as bikes are stripped rather than in one weekly batch, so stock can change between a Monday morning and a Wednesday afternoon.
Every part that leaves Derrimut has been off the bike, inspected and, where needed, cleaned before it is listed or packed. Plastics are checked for cracks and heat damage, wiring is tested for continuity, and engines are checked for compression and obvious internal damage before they are advertised as running units.
Bearings, seals and fasteners get a visual check for corrosion, which matters more on parts that have sat near the coast than on inland bikes. If a part does not meet a basic usable standard it does not go up for sale — it is scrapped for metal instead of sold as something it is not.
Melbourne’s weather swings hard within a single day, and that shows up in parts. A bike that has spent time near Port Phillip Bay can have salt-affected fasteners and connectors even if the paint still looks fine. A bike that has done most of its life on the Eastern Freeway or the Monash usually shows more wear on brake components and chain gear than on bodywork. We check for both.
Fairings and tank covers are inspected under good light for stress cracks around mounting points, the most common failure point on bikes that have dropped or been through a low-speed spill. Wiring harnesses are tested end to end rather than just checked by eye, because a loom that looks intact can still have a corroded pin inside a connector.
Engines and gearboxes sold as running units are started, warmed and checked for oil pressure and unusual noise where the bike allows it. Wheels are checked for runout and rim damage, and brake components are checked for pad life and disc thickness before anything is listed for sale.
None of this replaces a mechanic’s judgement on your own bike, but it means what you buy from us has already been through a basic pass before it reaches you. You can read more about how the business runs on the about us page.
Bikes come in through insurance write-offs, trade-ins, deceased estates and riders selling non-runners directly to us. Written-off bikes are handled under Victoria’s VicRoads Written-Off Vehicle Register (WOVR), and we work within that framework when a bike carries a statutory or repairable write-off status. Read more about how we handle this on the bike wrecking page. Some bikes also come from private sellers who simply want a non-runner gone without the hassle of listing it themselves.
Once a bike is on the floor at Derrimut it gets stripped in a set order: fluids drained first, then bodywork, then electrics, then the engine and running gear. Fluids and batteries are disposed of properly rather than tipped, which is a basic requirement for running a wrecking yard responsibly.
Each part is checked against the model and year before it is catalogued, because two bikes that look identical from ten metres away can have different bolt patterns, connector types or bracket shapes between model years. Getting that wrong at the dismantling stage is how buyers end up with a part that does not fit, so we would rather slow down here than rush it.
Small components — fasteners, brackets, switchgear — get bagged and tagged against the donor bike so a buyer chasing a specific bolt pattern or connector type is not stuck guessing. This part of the process takes longer than pulling a bike apart quickly and dumping the parts in a bin, but it is what keeps fitment accurate once a part is listed.
Orders are picked from the shelf at Derrimut, checked against the order, and packed the same way whether the buyer is around the corner in Sunshine or interstate. Heavier items like wheels, engines and swingarms get palletised; smaller parts go in a box with enough packing that a fairing panel does not arrive with a new crack.
Melbourne buyers have an option nobody else on this site gets: walking in. If you would rather see the part before you pay, or you need it today, call ahead on 0408 795 705 and we will have it ready at the counter. Otherwise it goes out with the next courier run — get in touch through the contact page if you want to confirm stock first. Either way, the part is picked from the same shelf and packed by the same person, so there is no difference in condition between a counter pickup and a courier delivery.
Stock leans toward what actually gets ridden around Melbourne: commuter and naked bikes for the daily run into the city, sportsbikes for weekend riders heading out the Eastern Freeway toward the hills, and adventure and dual-sport machines for riders further out who use gravel roads on weekends. Learner-legal models are a steady seller given how many new riders come through Victoria’s licensing system each year.
Brands on the floor include Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, KTM, Husqvarna, BMW, Ducati, Aprilia and Gas Gas, spanning small-capacity commuters through to larger adventure and sports-touring machines. Because turnover sits around 90 bikes at any time, the exact mix shifts week to week — a model that is not listed today might be on the floor next week as a new bike comes apart.
If you are chasing something specific, search current listings first. If it is not there, ask directly and we will flag it against incoming stock rather than you checking back manually.
Older and discontinued models are a bigger part of the range than you might expect. A lot of what comes through Derrimut is bikes a dealer would no longer touch for parts — ten to fifteen years old, still ridden daily, and increasingly hard to source new panels or electrics for. That is exactly where a wrecking yard earns its keep, and it is a big part of why Melbourne riders keep coming back to check what has just come apart.
Finding the right part starts with the bike’s details, not the part’s name:
Search the online shop first. If nothing matches, get in touch directly and we will check it against what is coming apart next.
Motorcycle parts are less forgiving on fitment than car parts — a subframe bolt pattern or loom connector can change between one model year and the next even when the bodywork looks identical. Wherever possible we log the VIN of the donor bike against its parts, which lets us cross-check a listing against your bike’s VIN before anything ships.
If you are not sure a part will fit, do not guess from a photo. Send us the rego or VIN through the parts finder and we will check compatibility against our records. It costs nothing to ask, and it saves both of us a return shipment. For anything unusual — a grey import, a model not sold new in Australia — flag that up front, since fitment on those can differ from the local-market version.
A new fairing panel, headlight or subframe from a dealer can cost more than a low-kilometre secondhand bike. A used part off a donor bike that has already been checked typically costs a fraction of the new price, which matters most on older models where the bike itself is worth less than a full set of new panels.
Some models get discontinued by the manufacturer within a few years of release, and dealer parts stock dries up fast once that happens. A wrecking yard is often the only realistic source for an older Suzuki, Kawasaki or Honda part once the factory has stopped making it. With roughly 90 bikes moving through Derrimut at any time, stock stays wide even for models that are ten or fifteen years old. That breadth is harder to get from a single dealer, who typically stocks current and recent models rather than a spread of decade-old machines.
A motorcycle that is written off or too tired to run is not scrap metal — most of it is still usable. Reusing an engine, a wheel or a wiring loom keeps a working component out of landfill and avoids the energy cost of manufacturing a new one. Fluids, batteries and unusable metal are still disposed of properly, but everything reusable is stripped, checked and put back into service instead. Manufacturing a new fairing panel or wheel from raw materials has a real energy and materials cost that reuse avoids entirely.
For a city with this many commuters and daily riders, keeping an older bike on the road affordably matters. Buying used parts locally means a bike that might otherwise get parked or scrapped can keep doing the school run or the CBD commute for another few years. It also means less pressure to trade in a perfectly usable bike just because one part has failed and a dealer quote made the repair look uneconomical.
We buy bikes from Melbourne riders in a few common situations: a write-off after a crash, a non-runner that is not worth fixing, or a bike you just want gone without the hassle of a private sale. The process is straightforward:
Being local also means we can usually look at photos and give a realistic price the same day, rather than a rough estimate that changes once a truck eventually turns up. If your bike is a statutory write-off under the VicRoads WOVR, tell us up front — it does not stop us buying it, but it does affect what paperwork we need from you.
Melbourne is the one city where freight is not really freight — the warehouse is at Derrimut, in the western suburbs, so most orders are moving across town rather than across the country. That changes what is realistic to offer here compared with everywhere else we ship to.
If you are within reasonable reach of Derrimut — Laverton North, Truganina, Sunshine, Footscray, Werribee and the surrounding western suburbs are all close — you can collect in person. Call ahead on 0408 795 705 to confirm the part is pulled and ready, then come by during opening hours, Monday to Sunday, 9am to 5pm. There is no charge for collecting your own order.
For buyers who cannot get to Derrimut, courier delivery across most of metro Melbourne is typically same-day or next-day, depending on when the order is placed and how the courier’s run is routed that day. Bikes and buyers along the Western Ring Road or the Princes Freeway corridor tend to get the fastest turnaround, simply because those routes are the most direct from Derrimut.
We do not promise a fixed delivery day, because courier networks vary day to day, but we will give you a realistic estimate when you order. For anything urgent, local pickup is still the fastest option since it removes the courier leg entirely. Questions about a specific order are best sent through the contact page so we can check it against what is currently on the floor. And if the fastest option matters more than convenience, remember pickup at Derrimut is always available during opening hours — no courier, no cut-off time, no waiting on a run sheet.
Stock is split across the parts that wear out and the parts that get damaged in a drop or a crash. Engines, gearboxes and clutches are pulled as complete running units where possible, tested where the bike allows it, and sold with whatever ancillary parts came off the same donor.
Bodywork — fairings, tanks, seats, mudguards and fenders — is one of the highest-turnover categories, since a low-speed drop in traffic or a car park tip-over is enough to crack plastic without doing mechanical damage. Wheels, brake components, exhausts, wiring looms, instrument clusters and switchgear round out the regular stock.
For Melbourne’s mix of commuters and weekend riders, the categories that move fastest are exactly what you would expect: bodywork and mirrors from city traffic knocks, chains and sprockets from daily kilometres, and suspension components from riders who take a naked or adventure bike out toward the Dandenongs on weekends. Check the FAQ if you are not sure what condition to expect from a used part.
What Melbourne riders ask for most tracks pretty closely with what is actually registered and ridden in Victoria. A few patterns show up again and again.
Honda and Yamaha commuter and naked models are constant sellers — bodywork, mirrors, indicators and brake levers, mostly from low-speed traffic knocks rather than serious crashes. Suzuki and Kawasaki parts move at a similar rate, particularly for the learner-legal models common on P-plates.
KTM and Husqvarna parts are in steady demand from riders who split their time between the daily commute and weekend trips out past the fringe suburbs — suspension linkages, radiator guards and bash plates take the brunt of that use.
BMW, Ducati and Aprilia owners tend to come to us for specific, harder-to-source items — fairing panels, exhaust systems and electronics — where a dealer part price makes a used option worth the search. Gas Gas parts come up less often but move quickly when they do, given how few are on the road.
If your model is not listed, check the full range in the shop or ask us directly — new bikes come apart every week.
We are not a broker relisting parts sourced from elsewhere. Every part in the shop has come through the same Derrimut site, been pulled from a real donor bike, checked, and catalogued against its model and year. That is the difference between buying from us and buying from a listing with no way to verify where the part came from.
For Melbourne buyers specifically, that also means someone local to talk to if a part does not look right, rather than an email address on the other side of the country.
Just Motorbike Wreckers operates from Derrimut, in Melbourne’s western suburbs, close to Laverton North, Truganina and the Western Ring Road. That location puts us within easy reach of Sunshine, Footscray, Werribee, Point Cook and the wider western and inner-western suburbs, and a manageable drive from the northern and southeastern suburbs via the ring road and Princes Freeway network.
Riders across the metro area order from us — the inner city, the west from Werribee through to Footscray, the north through Sunshine and beyond, and the southeast out toward Dandenong and the Mornington Peninsula fringe. Courier delivery reaches all of it; local pickup is realistic for anyone in or near the western suburbs.
Melbourne’s climate is genuinely changeable — four seasons in a day is not just a saying here. Bikes ridden year-round through wet winters see more corrosion on fasteners, brake lines and exposed metal than bikes that get parked up in bad weather. Coastal-adjacent suburbs around Port Phillip Bay add salt exposure on top of that. Commuter bikes that spend most of their life in stop-start CBD and inner-suburban traffic wear clutches, chains and brake pads faster than a bike that mostly does open-road kilometres.
Because the warehouse is local, picking up a bike you are selling is usually simple — no interstate transport company, no multi-day wait for a truck route to line up. If you are anywhere in greater Melbourne, get in touch and we will organise collection directly.
Whether you are picking up in person at Derrimut or having a part couriered to Reservoir, Ringwood or Frankston, the process is the same: check current stock, confirm fitment, and either collect or wait for delivery. Nearby regional centres like Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo are all within easy freight range of Derrimut too, if you know riders further out who need parts.
Yes. Our warehouse is at 145–147 Australis Drive, Derrimut VIC 3026, and it is the only site we operate from. Call 0408 795 705 ahead of time so we can have your part ready, then collect it in person during opening hours, Monday to Sunday, 9am to 5pm.
Most metro Melbourne orders go out same-day or next-day by courier, depending on when you order and which suburb you are in. We do not promise a fixed day since courier runs vary, but delivery from Derrimut is faster for Melbourne than for any other city we ship to.
Write-offs bought or sold in Victoria are handled under the VicRoads Written-Off Vehicle Register (WOVR). If we buy your bike as a statutory or repairable write-off, we work within that framework, and we can tell you where a donor bike sits if it matters to your rebuild.
We check listings against make, model, year and, where available, VIN before sale, but variations between model years happen. Send your bike’s details through the parts finder before ordering and we will confirm fitment against our records.
Yes. We buy write-offs, non-runners and unwanted bikes from riders across the metro area. Send details and photos through sell your bike and, because we are local, pickup is usually straightforward to organise.
Selling a bike for wrecking from Melbourne is about as simple as it gets, because you are not dealing with an interstate transport quote or a wait for a truck route. Send photos and details through the sell your bike page, or call 0408 795 705, and we will price it based on make, model, condition and what is sellable off it.
Once you accept, we organise collection directly from your address anywhere in greater Melbourne. See cash for bikes for more on how pricing works.
