2009 HONDA GL 1800SE1.8L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following a clean pass on 20 June 2025 at 21,000 miles. The most recent three tests show no defects or advisories, indicating that the bike is presently in good mechanical order. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 17 year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 1,235 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the odometer moved only 769 miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods standing, which often leads to different wear profiles than high-mileage usage, such as perished rubber components or seized linkages. A buyer should scrutinize the front suspension and braking system. The June 2022 test at 20,231 miles flagged light oil misting on both front shock absorbers. This deteriorated into a serious fluid leak on the nearside shock, leading to a failure on 10 June 2023 at 20,457 miles. While the subsequent pass on 24 June 2023 suggests these were replaced or refurbished, a physical check for seal integrity is advised. The June 2023 failure also noted a parking brake efficiency issue on the nearside. Given the low annual mileage and the history of braking and suspension faults, the buyer must check for binding calipers or seized cables. Any signs of corrosion on the chassis or brake discs resulting from long-term storage should be documented during a physical inspection.
