Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
When inspecting this 805cc cruiser, focus on the service history to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed regularly, as low-mileage vehicles can occasionally suffer from stagnant fluids. Check for any signs of corrosion on the frame and chrome, which is a common consideration for bikes of this age.
Negotiate the price based on the age and condition of the tyres and battery, as these components can degrade over time regardless of the total mileage. Ensure all documentation matches the registration SHZ4404.
The 805cc petrol engine provides a balance of power and economy typical for a mid-sized cruiser. Road tax will fall into a standard bracket for its engine size, and insurance costs are generally moderate for this category of motorcycle.
Annual running costs will include fuel, annual tax, and routine maintenance such as oil changes and tyre replacements. Given the vehicle's relatively low annual usage, these costs are likely to remain manageable.
While the MOT history shows no defects as of February 2026, you should still physically inspect the brake pads and tyre tread depth. Check for any leaks around the engine gaskets and the general condition of the drive system.
Ensure the electrical system is functioning correctly, specifically the lighting and indicators, and verify that the engine starts cleanly from cold. Pay close attention to any wear on the seat and controls that may not be captured in an MOT test.
This black Suzuki VL 800 L2 has recorded 35,228 miles since its first registration in June 2012. The two most recent MOT tests, conducted in February 2025 and February 2026, were both passed without any defects recorded.
