2004 Suzuki GSF1200 1.2L Petrol · DK04 FHD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a transition from mechanical neglect to minor electrical issues. The most recent test in July 2025 at 28,136 miles passed with only a minor lamp interference noted on the nearside rear. This represents an improvement compared to the 2021 record, which saw multiple critical failures and advisories, suggesting that the current owner has addressed more pressing mechanical concerns over the last four years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-two year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,279 miles per year. Between March 2021 and July 2025, the bike covered only 3,093 miles, indicating long periods of storage or very infrequent use. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to degradation of rubber-based components. The presence of a perished offside rear outer cv boot in 2021 is a classic symptom of age-related rot rather than mileage-based wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the engine to verify the slight oil leak reported in July 2024 at 27,163 miles. The intermittent throttle sticking noted in 2023 also requires a functional check to ensure the cables are not seizing or oxidizing from disuse. Furthermore, given the fluctuating front service brakes recorded in 2021, the discs should be inspected for thinness or surface pitting, which occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. The age of the tyres and the rubber fluid hoses should also be scrutinized for cracking, regardless of the tread depth remaining.
