Hobart is the one city on our delivery list that sits across water from the mainland, and that shapes how riders here plan a repair. A special order from a dealer already takes time; add a Bass Strait crossing and a part that would arrive in a couple of days in Melbourne can take most of a week to reach Hobart. Cold, wet winters add their own wear — corrosion on brake and electrical parts, batteries and starter motors that struggle with repeated cold starts.
We dismantle current and superseded Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, KTM, Husqvarna, BMW, Ducati, Aprilia and Gas Gas machines at Derrimut and list roughly 90 bikes online at any time. Riders across southern Tasmania use our online shop to find tested parts instead of waiting on a special order, and can reach us on 0408 795 705 to confirm fitment before ordering.
Roughly 90 dismantled bikes sit in our online shop at any time, spanning road, dirt and dual-sport models across all ten brands we wreck. Stock changes as bikes are stripped down at Derrimut, so what is listed today will not necessarily be there next month — search by make, model and year rather than relying on memory of a previous visit.
Every listing carries photos of the actual part, not a stock image, because a part that looks right in a catalogue photo does not always fit. For Hobart riders working on an older Honda or Suzuki that Tasmanian dealers no longer stock parts for, this is often the fastest realistic way to get a bike back on the road without an interstate special order sitting on backorder.
Parts are cleaned, inspected and function-tested before they leave Derrimut. Electrical components are bench-tested for continuity, wheels are checked for runout and bearing play, and engines are compression-tested where practical. Anything with cracked plastics, corroded connectors or worn threads is flagged rather than shipped.
Because freight to Hobart involves a sea crossing on top of the road leg, we would rather catch a fault here than have it come back from Tasmania. Parts are packed to survive multiple freight handovers, with fasteners bagged, fluids drained where required, and fragile componentry boxed separately from heavier items in the same order.
Cleaning and testing happen in that order. A part comes off the donor bike, gets degreased and pressure washed, then goes through inspection a second time now that grime is not hiding hairline cracks or corrosion. Fasteners are checked for stripped threads, mounting points are checked for prior repairs, and anything with structural doubt — a bent triple clamp, a cracked subframe — is rejected outright rather than sold as good.
For parts headed to Hobart specifically, we pay closer attention to anything prone to corrosion — brake and clutch master cylinders, calipers, fork lowers, exhaust systems — because Tasmania’s wetter climate and coastal air accelerate corrosion on parts that sit outdoors longer than they would in a drier mainland city. We will not sell a caliper with pitted bores or a fork leg with surface rust that only gets worse once it is back on a bike riding through a Hobart winter. Electrical connectors are checked for corrosion inside the pins too, not just visible rust, since hidden corrosion is what actually causes an intermittent fault in a cold, damp climate rather than an outright failure you would notice on inspection.
Engines and gearboxes get extra attention because a fault is expensive to ship back across Bass Strait. Oil is checked for metal contamination, and compression is checked cylinder by cylinder before a listing goes live.
Bikes come from insurance write-offs, trade-ins and private sales, mostly across Victoria. Tasmanian write-offs are recorded through the Department of State Growth, which governs how a bike is assessed and categorised after an accident before it can go back on the road. A bike written off after a crash near Hobart still has plenty of good parts on it, and we buy bikes like that through our bike wrecking service.
Once a bike is at Derrimut, it is drained of fluids, stripped in a set order, and every usable component is catalogued with photos before listing. Fairings and panels come off first, followed by wheels, brakes and suspension, then the engine and electrics. Each part is tagged against the donor bike’s make, model, year and VIN, so when a Hobart rider asks whether a part fits their exact model year, we can check the actual donor rather than guessing from a general parts catalogue.
We do not rush this. A bike stripped carelessly produces parts with hidden damage, and that costs a Hobart buyer more in freight and return shipping across Bass Strait than it saves us in time. Frames and any parts that fail inspection are set aside rather than listed. What is left once everything usable is pulled goes to scrap metal recycling rather than landfill.
Orders are picked from the Derrimut warehouse, matched against the part number and listing photos, and packed to survive the freight run to Tasmania. Fasteners and small hardware are bagged and labelled, panels and fairings are wrapped to prevent rub marks in transit, and anything heavy — wheels, engines, swingarms — is boxed or crated for pallet freight rather than a courier satchel, since Hobart-bound freight changes hands more times than a mainland metro delivery.
We use freight carriers that run the Bass Strait crossing regularly, since that is a more predictable service than a courier attempting the same route as a one-off. If you need a part urgently, call 0408 795 705 or email info@wreckersmotorcycles.com.au before ordering so we can flag the fastest realistic option.
Stock runs across ten brands — Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, KTM, Husqvarna, BMW, Ducati, Aprilia and Gas Gas — and across road, dirt and dual-sport categories. Because we wreck all three categories, the range covers commuters and sportsbikes as much as adventure and trail machines, which suits Hobart’s mixed riding — city and suburban commuting through areas like Glenorchy and Kingston, and weekend trips up Mount Wellington / kunanyi or out through the Huon Valley on bikes set up for gravel and forestry roads.
We also stock engines, gearboxes, swingarms, subframes, wiring looms and switchblocks, plus smaller items like levers, mirrors, footpegs and fuel tanks. Cold-climate items such as heated grips and their wiring come up more often in Hobart enquiries than in warmer cities, since plenty of local riders fit them for winter commuting rather than parking the bike for three months.
Because every part comes off a real donor bike rather than a generic parts bin, availability shifts week to week. If a specific part is not listed today, our parts finder service can flag it when a matching donor comes through Derrimut, which is often quicker than waiting on a fresh listing to appear by chance.
Finding the right part starts with your bike’s exact make, model and year, since a name shared across several model years does not always mean the parts are identical:
Fitment is the biggest source of returns on any used parts order, so we work from the donor bike’s actual VIN and model year rather than assuming every bike badged the same is identical. Manufacturers change bracket positions, wiring plugs and even fairing mounts mid-production run without changing the model name, which catches out anyone buying on name alone.
When you order, give us your bike’s VIN or rego and build year so we can cross-check against the donor before anything ships to Hobart across Bass Strait. If you are chasing a part for an older or less common model and cannot find a listing, the parts finder service checks it against upcoming dismantles rather than only current stock, which saves paying freight on a part that turns out not to fit.
A used fairing panel, wheel or engine part typically costs a fraction of a new equivalent, and for older or lower-volume models a genuine new part may not be available at any price once a manufacturer stops supplying it. For Hobart riders keeping an older commuter or trail bike running, that price gap is often the difference between fixing it and writing the bike off altogether.
Tasmanian dealers stock parts for current models reasonably well, but support for older or superseded models thins out quickly, and a special order from the mainland adds freight and a Bass Strait crossing on top of whatever the supplier’s own lead time already is. A used part sourced from a matching donor bike is often available now rather than in weeks, which matters when a bike is sitting off the road waiting on one component.
Because Hobart has fewer dealers per brand than a mainland capital, waiting on a backordered new part often means the bike sits idle for longer here than it would in Melbourne or Sydney. A used part already tested and catalogued at Derrimut can be dispatched as soon as it is ordered, even though the Bass Strait crossing still adds days on top.
A crashed or written-off bike still has an engine, wheels, brakes and electrics with plenty of service life left. Wrecking it properly and reselling those parts keeps them out of landfill and avoids the manufacturing footprint of a new part, while metal that genuinely cannot be reused goes to scrap recycling rather than a skip bin.
Between a colder, wetter climate that shortens the life of corrosion-prone parts and a thinner local dealer network for older models, Hobart generates steady demand for exactly the parts we stock — brake, electrical and cold-start componentry off recent-model bikes. Buying used is not a compromise so much as the practical option for keeping a daily rider going through a Tasmanian winter without paying new-part prices.
We buy bikes from Hobart riders through our cash for bikes service, whether the bike is running, damaged, non-running or a registered write-off. The process is straightforward:
You do not need to get the bike running or arrange freight yourself — we coordinate transport from Hobart as part of the sale.
Hobart is the one destination on our delivery list that is not a straight road run. Everything leaving Derrimut for southern Tasmania travels by road freight to Melbourne first, then crosses Bass Strait by sea freight, then goes by road again to Hobart, Glenorchy, Kingston or wherever you are. That extra leg means Hobart orders typically take longer than an east-coast mainland delivery, and we would rather say that plainly than promise a timeframe the freight network cannot hit.
We do not hold stock in Tasmania and never have — every order ships from the one Derrimut warehouse, which is why the timeframe above applies whether you are in central Hobart or further out toward Sorell or the Huon Valley. If a part is needed urgently, it is worth checking with us before ordering rather than assuming the fastest quoted timeframe will apply, since sea freight schedules run less frequently than road-only freight to somewhere like Sydney or Canberra. For anything time-critical, contact us before you order so we can give a realistic estimate rather than a best case, based on current carrier schedules rather than a general average.
Given Hobart’s climate and terrain, certain categories come up more than others. Corrosion-prone parts — brake calipers, master cylinders, fork lowers, exhaust systems — see steady demand because Tasmania’s damp winters and coastal air are harder on bare metal and chrome than a drier mainland climate. Electrical parts move often too: batteries, regulators, stators and wiring connectors take a beating from repeated cold starts over a Hobart winter, and a battery that is marginal in summer often fails outright once temperatures drop.
We also stock heated grips and related wiring where they come off donor bikes, since plenty of Hobart riders fit them for winter commuting rather than parking the bike for three months. Wet-weather gear brackets and mounting hardware for screens, guards and luggage come up regularly too, reflecting how much of the Hobart riding year happens in rain rather than dry conditions.
Beyond the climate-specific categories, the usual range applies: fairings and bodywork, wheels and tyres, forks and shocks, engines and engine components, footpegs, mirrors and switchblocks, covering road, dirt and dual-sport models. Availability shifts as bikes are dismantled, so the shop is the accurate source of what is currently listed rather than this general description.
Enquiries from Hobart riders lean toward a few recurring jobs. Commuters running Honda and Yamaha models through wet Hobart winters often need brake components, batteries and switchgear — parts that wear out faster in cold, damp conditions than they would in a drier climate. Regulators, stators and starter motors are close behind, since a Hobart winter is hard on anything responsible for a reliable cold start.
Riders heading up Mount Wellington / kunanyi or out through the Huon Valley on dual-sport and trail bikes tend to ask about wheels, suspension components, guards and footpegs — parts that take the most damage on gravel and forestry roads. Sportsbike owners generally chase fairings and bodywork after a low-speed drop, which is one of the more common reasons a panel gets replaced rather than repainted.
Because dealer support for older or lower-volume models is limited in Tasmania, we also get regular enquiries for parts that simply are not stocked new anymore — obsolete fairing panels, discontinued electrical components, engine parts for models that have been out of production for years. That is exactly the gap secondhand parts fill. Corrosion-damaged calipers, fork lowers and exhaust mounts are another steady request, replaced because of rust rather than mechanical failure. Current stock changes daily, so the shop is the place to check rather than this list, and if what you need is not there yet, the parts finder can flag it against upcoming dismantles.
We are not the fastest option for Hobart if you need a part today — nobody shipping across Bass Strait can promise that. What we offer instead is tested, photographed stock at a fraction of new prices, honest fitment checks against the donor bike’s VIN, and a straightforward process if something does not fit once it arrives. Read more about how we operate on our about us page, or check the FAQ if you have questions about ordering, returns or freight before you commit to a purchase. Staff are reachable on 0408 795 705 seven days a week.
We ship to riders across greater Hobart and southern Tasmania — the inner city, Glenorchy, Kingston, out toward Sorell, and down into the Huon Valley. We do not have a yard or counter in any of these areas; every order is picked and packed at our Derrimut warehouse in Victoria and freighted across, so serving Hobart means understanding the freight and riding conditions here rather than being around the corner.
Hobart’s climate is colder and wetter than most of the mainland cities we ship to, and that shows up in what fails on a bike. Corrosion sets in faster on brake components, fork lowers and exhausts, especially on bikes garaged outdoors through winter. Cold starts are harder on batteries, stators and starter motors, and a battery that has been marginal all summer often will not survive the first proper cold snap. Wet-weather riding is closer to the default than the exception for a lot of the riding year, which is part of why heated grips and sound electrical parts see more demand here than in drier states.
Greater Hobart covers everything from city commuting to steep climbs up Mount Wellington / kunanyi and gravel forestry roads through the Huon Valley, so enquiries split fairly evenly between road-focused commuters and adventure or dual-sport machines set up for unsealed roads. That range is part of why we wreck across road, dirt and dual-sport categories rather than specialising in one.
Buying parts means accepting the Bass Strait crossing as part of the timeline — typically five to nine business days, not overnight. Selling a bike works the other way: once a price is agreed through sell your bike, we organise transport off the island back to Derrimut rather than asking you to arrange it yourself. Given the distance and the sea crossing, it is worth settling logistics before committing to a sale date.
Support for older or lower-volume models thins out faster in Tasmania than in a mainland capital with several dealers for the same brand. That is the main reason used parts matter more here — for a lot of Hobart riders keeping an older bike going through Kingston, Glenorchy, Sorell or the Huon Valley, a used part from the mainland is more realistic than waiting weeks on a new-part special order.
Parts ship from our Derrimut warehouse by road freight to Melbourne, then by sea freight across Bass Strait, then road again to Hobart. Door-to-door transit is typically five to nine business days, depending on freight and crossing schedules. We do not guarantee a fixed delivery date — check with us before ordering if timing matters.
No. We operate one warehouse, at 145–147 Australis Drive, Derrimut, Victoria. There is no branch, yard or counter in Hobart or anywhere in Tasmania — every part is picked, packed and freighted from Derrimut, including across Bass Strait for Hobart orders.
Written-off motorcycles in Tasmania are recorded through the Department of State Growth, which determines how a bike is categorised after an accident. If your bike has been assessed as a write-off, we can still buy it for wrecking — see cash for bikes for how that works.
We sell tested used parts but do not offer fitting or mechanical work, so you will need a mechanic or workshop to install what you order. We can confirm fitment against your bike’s VIN and model year first, using the parts finder service if the part is not already listed.
Yes. Once a price is agreed through sell your bike, we organise transport from Hobart back to our Derrimut warehouse. You do not need to arrange transport yourself — tell us the bike’s condition and location and we handle logistics as part of the sale.
If you have got a bike in Hobart that is written off, unregistered, non-running or just not worth fixing, we buy it for wrecking regardless of condition. Send photos and details through sell your bike and we will come back with a price based on what is usable once it is stripped down. Once you accept, we organise transport off the island to our Derrimut warehouse — you do not need to arrange freight yourself. See cash for bikes for more on how pricing and payment work.
