Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but generally a sol
When inspecting this GSXR750, your first priority should be the tyres. The 2025 MOT recorded both front and rear tyres as being worn close to the legal limit, so factor the cost of a new set into your negotiation. You should also verify if the lighting issues noted in the 2022 failure (registration plate lamp and reflector) have been permanently rectified.
Ask the seller for any evidence of service history, as low-mileage bikes can sometimes suffer from age-related degradation such as perished seals or fluid breakdown. Check the chain, sprockets, and brake discs, as these are common wear items on high-performance machines, even when mileage is low.
As a 749cc performance motorcycle, running costs will be higher than a standard commuter bike. Insurance groups for GSXR models are typically high due to their performance capabilities, so obtain a quote before purchasing. Fuel economy will depend heavily on riding style, but expect typical supersport consumption levels.
Maintenance costs can fluctuate; while the mileage is low, the model aggregate data suggests that brake pads and shock absorbers are common failure points across the wider GSXR750 fleet. Budget for regular servicing to maintain the mechanical integrity of the engine.
Specifically check the tyre tread depth on both the front and rear, as the 2025 MOT indicated they were approaching the legal limit. Inspect the rear reflector and the registration plate illumination to ensure they meet the standards that caused the 2022 MOT failure.
Given that the aggregate data for this model identifies brake pads, shock absorbers, and headlamps as top MOT failure reasons, perform a thorough check of the braking system and the front suspension components. Ensure the headlamp is functioning correctly and that there is no significant leakage from the forks.
This 2006 Suzuki GSXR750 in yellow has covered very low mileage for its age, with only 9,616 miles recorded as of April 2025. The MOT history shows a mostly consistent pass record, though recent advisories regarding tyre tread depth suggest maintenance may have been deferred. Given the model's aggregate data, this specific example sits well below the average annual mileage of 1,138 miles for this model type.
The GSXR750 shows an 86.4% average MOT pass rate across 5,209 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to brakes, suspension, and lighting.
