2018 Kawasaki EX 650 Kjfa KRT Edition 0.6L Petrol · EK18 LLR

Running costs for a 649cc middleweight motorcycle like this Kawasaki are generally moderate. Fuel economy is typically efficient for this engine displacement, making it suitable for both commuting and weekend riding. Insurance groups for the Ninja 650 range vary depending on the rider's profile, but it is generally considered accessible for a wide range of experience levels.

Maintenance costs should be relatively low due to the low mileage, though you should budget for 'age-related' maintenance such as tyre replacements and fluid changes. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, and basic servicing, sit in a predictable bracket for this class of machine.

The MOT history for EK18LLR is exceptionally clean, with no recorded defects or advisories across the three tests provided (2022, 2023, and 2025). This indicates that no structural, braking, or lighting issues were flagged during the inspection process.

However, since the MOT records show no defects, you must manually inspect the chain and sprockets for any signs of surface rust from sitting idle. Check the brake fluid for clarity and the coolant levels. Given the KRT Edition's specific styling, inspect the fairings and green paintwork for any scuffs or storage damage that wouldn't necessarily be caught in a standard MOT test.
