1998 Suzuki GSF600 0.6L Petrol · S810 AHT

The 600cc engine is relatively efficient for a sport-bike, typically offering between 50-60 mpg depending on riding style. Tax for this older registration is generally in a lower bracket, and insurance groups for this model are mid-range, varying based on the rider's experience.

Maintenance costs are generally low due to the simple Japanese engineering of the era, but budget for premium items like tyres and tyres which will need replacing due to age alone. An estimated annual running cost is approximately £500-£700, accounting for fuel for moderate mileage, tax, insurance, and basic preventative maintenance.

Pay close attention to the braking system; the 2009 MOT recorded sticking brakes on both the front and rear, and a 2007 advisory suggested servicing the calipers. Ensure the pistons move freely and that there is no weeping from the seals. Also check the headlamp aim, which caused a failure in 2022, to ensure it is now correctly adjusted.

Inspect the footrests for security, as a footrest was noted as insecure in early 2009. Given the low mileage, check the fuel tank for internal rust or varnish in the carburets, which can occur when fuel sits in the system for long periods without being used.
