2002 Suzuki GSX1300 RK2 1.3L Petrol · BVZ 4199

This Suzuki GSX1300 RK2 presents a stable and consistently clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 16 August 2025 at 28,831 miles, passed with zero defects. This marks five consecutive passes without advisories or failures, indicating the motorcycle has been maintained to a consistently high mechanical standard across its recent history. The mileage pattern reveals notably low annual usage and a significant gap in activity. Between the 2020 test at 24,501 miles and the 2022 test at 24,537 miles, the bike covered just 36 miles over approximately two years, suggesting prolonged storage. From 2022 onward, usage picked up to roughly 2,000 miles per year, with the odometer climbing from 24,537 to 28,831 miles by August 2025. The current mileage of 28,831 is less than 1,200 miles per year on average over the bike's 24-year lifespan, which is exceptionally low. Despite the clean MOT record, prolonged periods of inactivity carry their own risks that a pass certificate does not fully address. A buyer should inspect the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and perishing, particularly if the original rubber dates back to the pre-storage period. The brake system warrants close attention, including caliper piston seals, brake fluid condition, and disc surfaces, as standing fluid and corroded components are common after extended downtime. Fuel system integrity, including tank lining, fuel hoses, and carburettor function, should also be verified given the likelihood of stale fuel exposure. The suspension, chain, and final drive should be examined for dried grease and corrosion, particularly where components sat stationary. Fork seals and fork oil condition are worth confirming, as seals can harden during long periods of non-use. While the MOT record is reassuring on paper, a hands-on inspection by a qualified motorcycle technician remains essential before purchase.
