2007 Triumph Speed Master 865 0.9L Petrol · LX07 EUN

Running this 865cc machine is relatively straightforward for a mid-capacity cruiser. Fuel economy is typically moderate, reflecting its larger engine displacement, but it is not excessively thirsty for a bike of this style. Insurance groups for Triumph cruisers are generally mid-range, making it accessible for most riders.

Maintenance costs should be kept low due to the low mileage, though you should budget for periodic replacements of rubber components and fluids. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, would sit in the mid-to-low hundreds, provided the bike is used sparingly as its history suggests.

Pay close attention to the front motorcycle structure. A 2014 MOT advisory noted slight damage to the front structure; while the bike has passed all subsequent MOTs, it is vital to inspect the forks, triple trees, and frame for any signs of misalignment or previous repair work.

Additionally, inspect the tyres for 'flat spots' or cracking (sidewall weathering) which is common on low-mileage bikes. Check the battery health and electrical connections, as long periods of inactivity can lead to corrosion. Finally, listen for a smooth idle and check that the throttle and clutch cables move freely without sticking.
