Rita: Whatever happend to Sirius' flying motorbike?
JK Rowling replies -> Ah, good question. You'll find out, but the
real sleuths among you might be able to guess.

Jen: That was my first thought, too--the bike's in the Forbidden
Forest. JKR said 'real sleuths' among us would be able to guess.
Well, what clues do we have? Just that Hagrid was the last one in
possession of the bike. Or the last person we see with it. It makes
sense he took the motorbike back to Hogwarts.
Eloise:
Either that, or

Jen: Or somehow the bike got sent to Arthur's department
for 'disposal' so he just took it home to tinker with it. I like
this theory better than the Forbidden Forest because it fits in so
well with Arthur's character. Seems strange none of the kids would
have found it by now,though, 15+ years later.
