1989 Yamaha FZ750 0.7L Petrol · G246 EOP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 May 2026 at 64,253 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only failure in recent history was for a non-conforming registration plate, which was immediately rectified. Prior to this, the motorcycle maintained its annual passes, indicating that the core mechanical systems are not showing signs of rapid progressive failure over the last two testing cycles. At 37 years old, the recorded mileage of 64,253 miles represents exceptionally low annual usage, averaging 1,737 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-impact operation, with only 109 miles accumulated between July 2024 and June 2025, and another 158 miles recorded in the final year. This pattern suggests the bike has likely spent long periods stationary or was used sparingly, which often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid breakdown rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer must pay close attention to the drive system, as the July 2024 failure flagged an excessively loose drive chain at 63,986 miles. While this was corrected, the low-mile history often hides seized sprockets or dry, stretched chain links that suffer from lack of use. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should focus on structural corrosion on the frame and the condition of the fork seals and brake hoses, as these are not fully captured by a standard MOT but are critical for the long-term reliability of a vintage machine.
