Our Verdict
A highly attractive option for those see
Because this motorcycle has covered very little mileage for an eight-year-old vehicle, your primary focus should be on whether it has been stored in a suitable environment. Low-mileage bikes can sometimes suffer from 'sitting' issues, such as tyre flat-spotting or fuel degradation, so check the condition of the rubber and the responsiveness of the fuel system.
Request a full service history to confirm that oil and fluid changes have been carried out at regular intervals, regardless of the low mileage. When inspecting, check for any signs of corrosion on exposed metal parts or the chain, which can occur if a bike is kept in a damp location despite minimal use.
As a 948cc petrol machine, running costs will be higher than a smaller capacity commuter. Fuel economy will depend heavily on riding style, but you should budget for premium unleaded petrol. Insurance groups for 900cc naked bikes tend to be mid-to-high, so obtain a quote based on your specific profile before purchasing.
Maintenance costs for a Kawasaki of this specification are generally predictable, though tyres and brake components may need replacing due to age rather than wear if the mileage remains this low. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, sit in the middle range for this engine capacity.
With no MOT defects recorded in the July 2026 test, the mechanical baseline appears clean. However, you should specifically inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or perishing, as 2018-era rubber may be reaching the end of its safe service life regardless of tread depth.
Check the drive chain for tension and signs of rust, and inspect the brake fluid for clarity. Given the brown colourway and specific model variant, ensure all bodywork and paintwork are free from any storage-related scuffs or scratches that might not be captured in an MOT test.
This 2018 Kawasaki ZR 900 CJFB presents with exceptionally low mileage, having covered just 3,294 miles since its first registration in August 2018. The most recent MOT from July 2026 shows a pass with no defects recorded. Given its age and the very low distance travelled, this vehicle appears to have been used sparingly.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Kawasaki ZR 900 CJFB model.
