2012 Triumph Street Triple R 0.7L Petrol · GJ62 ERZ

As a 675cc middleweight naked bike, running costs are relatively moderate for a performance motorcycle. Fuel economy will depend heavily on riding style, but the Triple engine is known for being efficient for its power output.

Insurance groups for this model vary depending on the rider's age and location, but it is generally positioned in a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs for Triumph motorcycles are typically higher than for Japanese equivalents, but the low mileage on this specific GJ62ERZ example suggests that major component replacements should not be imminent.

Focus your inspection on the tyres and brake components. Although the 2024 MOT failure at 9,142 miles did not specify the defect in the summary, it is worth asking the seller exactly what caused that failure to ensure it wasn't a recurring issue with lights or tyres.

Check the chain and sprockets for signs of rust or 'kinking', which can occur on low-mileage bikes that are stored in damp conditions. Additionally, inspect the fork seals for any signs of oil weeping, as the rubber can harden over time on bikes with low annual usage.
