2012 BMW F 650 GS 0.8L Petrol · ND61 ZGC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from pristine operation to age-related degradation. The most recent test on 29 July 2025 at 16,386 miles resulted a pass despite a perished rear tyre sidewall. This follows an advisory from May 2024 at 16,354 miles where the tester noted the rear tyre was starting to perish. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,170 miles per year. The data reveals significant periods of stationary use, for instance, the vehicle covered only 72 miles between July 2020 and July 2021. There was also a notable gap of nearly seventeen months between December 2022 and May 2024, during which 1,644 miles were recorded. This low usage suggests the bike has sat for long intervals, which often leads to dry component failure rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of all rubber components and fluid systems. The recurring issue with perishing tyre sidewalls indicates that the rubber compound is cracking due to age rather than tread depth. Inspect the fork seals for weeping, the brake lines for cracks, and the fuel hoses for signs of brittleness. Given the long periods of inactivity, check the brake discs for heavy corrosion and ensure the calipers have not seized during the lack of use.
