2006 Yamaha YZF-R1-50TH Anniversary 1.0L Petrol · KX06 XUP

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes across its lifespan. The most recent test in March 2026 at 11,333 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable and maintained condition. This trend suggests that the motorcycle has not been subjected to the mechanical stress or neglect typically associated with older, high-mileage machinery. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old machine, averaging approximately 567 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded usage between March 2019 and April 2025, during which the bike covered only 1,149 miles over six years. While this low mileage limits wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also indicates the vehicle likely sat stationary for long periods. The recent increase of 78 miles between April 2025 and March 2026 shows a return to regular use, but the overall accumulation remains remarkably low. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on components that succumb to age and long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. It is essential to inspect the brake lines for cracking, the fork seals for perished rubber, and the tyres for flat-spot or age-hardening. The buyer should also check for corrosion on the frame and ensure that the fuel system has not suffered from varnish during the long intervals of inactivity identified in the mileage history.
