1992 Yamaha FJ1200 1.2L Petrol · K548 DRM

This Yamaha FJ1200 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 30 April 2025 at 12,219 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to May 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without the need for corrective repairs between tests. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 34 year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 359 miles per year. The records show very limited usage over the last four years, with the odometer moving from 11,431 miles in May 2022 to 12,219 miles in April 2025. This total increase of only 788 miles over three years suggests the bike spends significant time stationary. While the MOT history is flawless, the low usage pattern introduces specific risks that a tester may not flag. A buyer must inspect the fuel system for varnish or gumming caused by long periods of standing and check the tyres for flat spots or age-related perishing, regardless of remaining tread. The brake calipers should be checked for sticking or binding, and the fork seals should be inspected for leaks, as rubber components often degrade faster from inactivity than from active wear. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion or exhaust emissions is positive, but the physical condition of the chassis and swingarm should be verified in person. Focus on ensuring the battery health is stable and that the engine oil has been changed regularly despite the low mileage to prevent internal sludge buildup.
