The Bonhams Difference

Across Bonhams’ five dedicated motorcycle auctions in 2025 – two flagship Stafford sales alongside three highly successful timed-online sales conducted from their specialist motorcycle facility in Milton Keynes – Bonhams achieved total motorcycle sales exceeding £8 million together with an industry leading 96% average sell through rate – reflecting strong international demand and a consistent and effective estimate and marketing strategy.

These industry leading figures demonstrate the depth of Bonhams’ international market reach and sustained buyer confidence across all areas of motorcycle collecting.

A particular strength of the Bonhams Motorcycle Department continues to be the successful handling of important private collections and exceptional individual machines. Carefully curated consignments – supported by detailed research, professional marketing, and global exposure – consistently attract strong international bidding and premium results.

These results highlight a mature and highly active marketplace, where well-presented motorcycles continue to convert into successful sales at scale, supported by consistently high sell-through rates and strong bidder participation.
