Export the bike to an agent either in USA or UK at my cost for sale or let the buyer pay the costs of shipping from SA.

Depends on what you expect to recover from the sale and what the fees are, I have never investigated this.

Is it necessary to to have the bike in the place of sale or auction?

No, evidence e-bay and thousands of transactions daily. Many state "I'm selling the bike for a friend/relative"

How would the buyer / bidder know the true condition of the bike at the time of sale? Would they send a local representative to look at the bike?
|
A lot of it is down to your word, you can always have a reputable local dealer provide a certificate of inspection, or they can hire a representative to inspect it (at buyer's cost).

What would the shipping cost be and where could one get quotes?

Google search for shippers, there are many.
KADUTZ was spot-on with advice about selling the parts separately, you'll fetch a lot more that way.
I'm going to stand firm on my advice which is - have the paint re-done in original colors, it will make a huge difference in how much the bike will fetch, especially at auction/e-bay.
