Our Verdict
This 1994 Kawasaki EN presents as a low-
When inspecting this Kawasaki, focus heavily on the effects of long-term storage. Low-mileage bikes often suffer from fuel system issues, such as gummed-up carburettors, and perished rubber components like fuel lines and coolant hoses. Ask the seller for evidence of any recent recommissioning work, as the bike has only travelled 146 miles in the last two years.
Check the condition of the chain and sprockets, as these can seize or rust if left stationary for extended periods. Given the 1994 manufacture date, ensure that all electrical components are functioning correctly, as older wiring looms can become brittle and prone to connection failures.
As a 500cc motorcycle, this Kawasaki EN falls into a manageable tax bracket for historic or standard motorcycles depending on current DVLA exemptions. Insurance costs will depend heavily on your rider profile, but the bike's age may allow for 'classic' motorcycle insurance policies, which can be significantly cheaper than standard cover.
Maintenance costs are likely to be focused on routine servicing and age-related part replacement. Budgeting for a full fluid change (oil, coolant, and brake fluid) is advisable upon purchase to ensure the machine is running optimally. Estimated annual running costs, excluding major repairs, are approximately £600-£800.
Pay close attention to the tyres. The 2022 MOT failure was due to a tyre not being fitted in accordance with sidewall instructions, suggesting a need for careful inspection of both the tyre fitment and the age/condition of the rubber. Check for any signs of cracking on the sidewalls, as tyres can degrade even when the bike is not being ridden.
Address the 2024 advisory regarding wheel alignment. While this was a minor note, ensure the frame and swingarm are straight and that the bike handles predictably during a test ride. Inspect the brake discs and pads for corrosion, as the low mileage suggests the bike may have been sitting in damp conditions for significant periods.
Registered in June 1996, this 500cc blue Kawasaki EN has covered only 9,117 miles over its lifespan. The MOT history shows a very low annual mileage, with just over 140 miles covered between 2022 and 2024. While the record is relatively clean, the low usage suggests the bike may have spent long periods in storage.
There is no aggregate reliability data available for the Kawasaki EN, so owners must rely on individual condition assessments and thorough physical inspections.
