Depends on the auction. Some are public some are private/dealership only. Depends on the repossession/State/and financial institution the bike was repo'd from. I used to frequent the dealership auctions here every week to buy cars for our dealership way back when and MOST repo bikes were in rough shape or had sand in the engine. Of course all are AS-IS and are not running when taken through the door. Most people know the bank is going to take it, they are pissed, f**k the bike up and let it go. I only purchased a few bikes from auctions and most ended up having issues. My personal bikes I ride were purchased new or from people I knew.
