2008 Suzuki GSX1300R 1.3L Petrol · BU54 CCA

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 29 May 2025 at 30,448 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating the motorcycle remains in a good mechanical state. While a failure occurred in early May 2024, the immediate rectification allowed for a pass that same day, and subsequent clean tests without recurring advisories. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage noted between May 2022 at 12,631 miles and May 2023 at 22,287 miles, where the bike covered nearly 10,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has levelled off to roughly 4,000 miles over the following two years. This pattern suggests the vehicle has spent long periods stationary, which can often lead to different types of degradation than standard mechanical wear and tear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage, long-term storage. Check for perished or cracked rubber components such as fork seals, tyres, and brake hoses which may degrade through age rather than distance. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers have not seized from disuse. Additionally, examine the chain and sprockets for signs of deep corrosion, as stationary bikes are prone to rust in the drivetrain if not regularly lubricated.
