Buy Marquez’s old paddock scooter to celebrate his incredible 2026 run

Even by his lofty standards, Marc Marquez has enjoyed an incredible year in MotoGP. Despite missing two rounds due to injury and at one point sitting some 102 points off the lead, he’s now a whopping 60 points ahead of nearest rival Jorge Martin with just 74 points left on the table.

It seems inevitable that Marc will clinch a consecutive title, which will also be his second for Ducati. For a premature celebration, why not buy a motorised relic from the Repsol Honda era of his career? 

Available via Iconic Auctioneers’ NEC Classic sale in Birmingham this weekend is this Honda Lead 110, which was used by Marc Marquez in 2013, his debut season in the top class. It was a dream start, too, in contrast to the nightmare latter stages of his Repsol tenure, with the Spaniard clinching the title from Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo by a mere four points. 

The scooter is signed by Marc and retains its paddock pass on the front mudguard. For 2013, we should clarify - you won’t be able to charge your way into the paddock at Silverstone 2027 when the GP circus comes to town. There’s also a #93 sticker (of course), and one featuring the late Marco Simoncelli’s #58. 

The Lead is described as being in good, original condition but showing “some signs of use”. It’s UK registered and has its V5, but it will be wanting an MOT should you fancy riding it on the road - it hasn’t had one since 2018. At the time of the last test, it had covered just 1,412 miles, and we shouldn’t think the current figure is much higher. 

With an estimate of £5,000 - £10,000, it’s a cheap(ish) way to buy one of Marquez’s old bikes. Have a bit more money to spend? The seized $40 million collection of Olympian-turned drug kingpin Ryan Wedding, which includes numerous GP bikes ridden by Marquez, Rossi, and other big names from the sport, is set to go under the hammer this week.
