Our Verdict
A low-mileage example of a classic sport
The primary point of negotiation and investigation should be the gap in MOT records between September 2021 and March 2026. You should establish whether the vehicle was SORN and how it was stored, as long periods of inactivity can lead to perished seals and fuel system degradation.
Verify the service history to see if any maintenance was performed during this dormant period. Ensure that the exhaust leak identified in 2021 has been permanently repaired rather than temporarily patched, and check that all fluids have been refreshed recently given the bike's age and history of inactivity.
As a 599cc petrol motorcycle, fuel economy will be typical for a late-90s sports bike. Insurance costs will vary based on the rider's profile but generally fall into a moderate bracket for classic middleweight bikes.
Typical maintenance will include periodic replacement of tyres, brake pads, and chain and sprocket kits. Given the age of the vehicle, expect slightly higher maintenance costs to keep the bike roadworthy, with an estimated annual running cost of £600-£900.
Carefully inspect the exhaust system for any signs of the leak mentioned in the 2021 MOT (6.1.2 (a)). Because the bike was off the road for several years, check the tyres for 'flat-spotting' or sidewall cracking and ensure the brake fluid is clear and not contaminated with moisture.
Examine the silver paintwork and frame for any signs of corrosion that may have occurred during storage. Finally, check the battery health and ensure the engine starts cleanly from cold, as fuel left in the system since 2021 can cause ignition issues.
This silver 1998 Yamaha YZF600 has recorded 32,536 miles. The MOT history shows a pass in March 2026 with no defects, following a five-year gap since the previous test in September 2021. The 2021 record noted a minor exhaust gas leak, which was not present in the most recent inspection.
No aggregate MOT data is available to provide a reliability benchmark for the Yamaha YZF600.
