1995 Kawasaki ZZ-R1100 1.1L Petrol · M39 LOV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of minor neglect related to prolonged storage. The most recent MOT test in July 2023 at 70,930 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just six days prior for a non rear stop lamp. While the bike passed, the recurring presence of a binding front brake and a speedometer cable fouling the front wheel suggests that mechanical issues are being addressed only when they fail inspection rather than through preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirty-one-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,288 miles per year. There is a significant three-year gap between the March 2020 and the June 2023 tests, during which only 2,125 miles were recorded. This low usage, combined with the pitting and scoring on the front brake discs noted in 2019 and 2023, suggests the machine sits for long periods, which leads to surface corrosion and component seizure rather than wear from use. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as the records show persistent pitting and scoring across both 2019 and 2023. The speedometer cable requires rerouting or replacement to ensure it does not continue to foul the front wheel. Additionally, the free play in the rear suspension bushes identified in 2018 should be checked for further degradation, as rubber components perish over time regardless of low mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of fuel lines, seals, and perished perished is essential to mitigate risks caused by the long intervals between use.
