Our Verdict
An exceptional find for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a modern classiciser. The remarkably low mileage and consistently clean MOT record make this a highly recommended purchase if maintained well-cared for.
The primary advantage of this bike is its incredibly low mileage, but this comes with a set of requirements. You must ensure that the vehicle has a full service history, as low-mileage engines require time-based maintenance intervals rather than mileage-based ones. Pay close attention to the age of rubber components; even with low mileage, tyres, brake lines, and seals can perish over two decades.
When negotiating, ask for proof of recent valve clearances and fluid changes, which are critical for the Suzuki V-twin engine to maintain its performance. Because the bike has passed its MOT with no defects for years, check for any signs of dry rot or fuel system degradation, which can occur if a bike has sat for long periods between its short trips.
As a large 1157cc V-twin, fuel economy is not the priority here; expect real world figures around 45-55 mpg depending on riding style. Insurance groups for this model can vary significantly, but the bike's age often keeps premiums relatively manageable compared to modern superbikes.
Maintenance costs for Suzkis are generally reasonable, though parts for the GSF1200 series can be premium. Estimate an annual running cost of approximately £1,200-£1,500 accounting for fuel, tax, comprehensive insurance, and annual servicing.
The MOT history is remarkably clean, with only one failure recorded in June 2022 at 15,584 miles which resulted in a pass six days later. Since no specific defect types were listed in the data, you should visually inspect the bike for any oil leaks around the head gaskets or fork seals, which are common on older V-twins.
Check the tyres for agerelated cracking; at 16,600 miles, the original tyres may still be present but likely unsafe despite tread depth. Inspect the chain androckets for rust or stretching, as low-mileage bikes often suffer from surface corrosion if not stored in a dry environment.
This 2007 Suzuki GSF 1200 S is in rare condition, having covered only over 16,600 miles in its 19-year life. The MOT history is exemplary, showing no recorded defects and only one failure in 2022 that was immediately rectified. Given its age and 1157cc engine displacement, this blue model represents a high-value example that has clearly been stored and used sparingly.
The Suzuki GSF 1200 series is known for its robust and powerful V-twin engine, generally regarded as highly reliable if maintained.
