1995 Kawasaki GTR ZG1000 1.0L Petrol · M101 GHR

The Kawasaki GTR ZG1000 is currently roadworthy, the July 2025 test at 15 926 miles passing with no recorded defects. That result follows a pattern of improvement after earlier issues: the July 2024 test flagged a slight front‑brake effort fluctuation, the July 2023 test failed on a rear stop‑lamp illumination fault, and a 2016 exhaust leak was noted. The most recent pass indicates the maintenance trend is stabilising rather than deteriorating. Mileage accumulation over the vehicle’s 31‑year life has been exceptionally low, averaging roughly 514 miles per year and reaching only 15 926 miles. The log shows long intervals between tests, for example the gap from the 2023‑07‑25 failure at 14 029 miles to the March 2022 pass at 11 426 miles, and a further year‑long gap before the 2025‑07‑24 pass. This sparse testing schedule does not reflect rapid wear; the low mileage suggests light use or extended periods of storage. A buyer should inspect the brake system closely, checking for any pedal pulsation or uneven effort that the 2024 test highlighted, verifying rear‑brake release and stop‑lamp operation, and ensuring the rear roller brake does not exhibit grabbing as noted in 2010. The exhaust should be examined for any leak or corrosion, given the 2016 advisory, and the mounting brackets for rust. Suspension bushes and frame rails merit visual inspection for age‑related corrosion, and tyre tread depth should be checked despite low mileage, as prolonged storage can degrade rubber compounds. A thorough visual check of the rear‑stop‑lamp wiring and the exhaust manifold will confirm that the previously failed items have been remedied.
