Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for an enthusiast, provided the braking and suspension advisories from 2021 have been addressed. The low overall mileage for a 1998 model makes this an attractive example of the ZZR600.
Focus your enquiry on the maintenance carried out between 2021 and 2025. Specifically, ask if the fork dust seals were replaced and if the front brake binding and pitted discs mentioned in the October 2021 MOT were rectified. Since the bike spent several years with very low mileage growth (between 2012 and 2015), check for signs of long-term storage, such as perished rubber hoses or fuel system deposits.
Request a full service history to ensure the valve clearances and coolant have been managed, as these are critical for the longevity of the 599cc engine. Negotiate based on the current state of the consumables; check the date codes on the tyres and the tension of the drive chain, as these have been recurring MOT advisory points in the past.
