Discover value in Pickles' motorbike sales
Among Australia's many cultural touchstones, our country is often defined by the cars we drive. Whether it's the rugged Toyota Hilux and its ability to tackle any terrain, or the timeless Holden Commodore and its powerful performance, Australians take pride in their vehicles. The enduring popularity of these vehicles speaks to our national character and has elevated many cars to icon status across the country. But there is arguably none more iconic than the beloved Honda CT110, also known as the humble 'Postie Bike'.
Rolled out by the Postmaster-General's Department (PMG) in 1971 as part of a fleet purchase of Honda CT90s by Australia Post to replace pushbikes, these bikes became a signature sight across Australia in the decades since. Soon after, the Honda CT110 was adopted, with its strong red colour, designed to mirror Australia Post's own branding, becoming a part of Australian communities for over 40 years.
Why should I buy a postie bike?
These trusty bikes allowed postal workers to maneuver bustling city streets and busy main roads with ease, but have slowly been phased out since Australia Post committed to introducing three-wheeled electric delivery vehicles in their place. Postie bikes will be a relic of the past come the end of 2025, however this means many have become available at auction, with Australia's leading auctioneer, Pickles, offering the distinct Honda CT110 regularly.
The postie bike is known for being a lightweight, responsive and resilient motorbike. Despite being phased out, these bikes have remained a popular item among riders, particularly due to events such as the annual Australian Postie Grand Prix which highlight the bike’s adaptability to off-road riding.
