Our Verdict
A compelling option for a buyer seeking
Given the very low mileage of 1,008 miles, the primary concern is the effect of long-term inactivity. You should request a full service history to confirm if oil and filters were changed periodically regardless of the distance travelled, as old oil can lead to internal engine sludge.
Negotiate based on the current MOT status, as the last recorded test was in March 2024 and the vehicle may now be overdue or close to expiry. Ensure you verify the authenticity of the mileage through previous service stamps or records to confirm it is genuine.
As a 600cc petrol motorcycle, the ZZR600 offers a balance of performance and relative fuel efficiency. Annual costs will be dominated by the flat-rate motorcycle road tax and insurance, which varies significantly based on the rider's age and location.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically moderate, but for a low-mileage bike, initial costs may be higher to replace aged fluids and rubber components. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, is likely to be modest.
Focus your inspection on rubber components. With only 1,008 miles recorded, the tyres may be original or very old; check for 'flat spots' or sidewall cracking (perishing) which can be dangerous regardless of tread depth. Check all fuel lines and brake hoses for signs of brittleness.
Referencing the March 2024 MOT, which recorded no defects, you should still check the battery health and fuel system, as petrol can degrade when left sitting for long periods. Ensure the engine starts cleanly and the cooling system is functioning correctly.
This red 2001 Kawasaki ZZR600 features an exceptionally low recorded mileage of 1,008 miles as of its last MOT in March 2024. The vehicle passed its most recent test with no defects recorded. Given its 25-year age and low usage, it represents a rare find in the current market.
