1987 KAWASAKI KMX1250.1L PETROL

The roadworthiness status of this vehicle remains unverified due to a significant lapse in documented testing data. The last recorded MOT test occurred in June 2019 at 54,485 miles, where the motorcycle passed immediately following a failure the previous day. Because no tests have been logged since June 2019, there is no objective evidence to confirm the current mechanical condition or the structural integrity of the frame and components over the last seven years. The recorded mileage of 54,485 miles is remarkably low for a 39-year-old motorcycle, averaging only approximately 1,400 miles per year. This low usage suggests the bike has spent significant periods in storage or stationary, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, perished fuel, and internal corrosion within the seals. The seven-year gap between the 2019 test and the current date indicates the vehicle has not undergone a formal UK safety check for an extended duration. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity, specifically checking for deep corrosion on the frame and swingarm where moisture often collects. The 2019 failure related to headlamp aim was a minor adjustment issue, but the long period of inactivity necessitates a close look at brake lines for cracking, seized fork seals, and perished tyres. Inspect the tyres for age-related hardening and flat spots, as low mileage does not prevent the chemical degradation of rubber over four decades.
