2004 Suzuki GSXR600 0.6L Petrol · SN04 AXB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift from reactive repairs to intermittent stability. The most recent test in July 2025 at 33,345 miles passed despite an advisory for a noisy exhaust. This follows a clean result in February 2024, suggesting that the mechanical issues identified in earlier years were largely addressed. However, the history reveals a period of neglect regarding critical assembly components that required multiple interventions to meet safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-two-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,500 miles per year. There are significant gaps in usage between March 2019 and February 2024, where the bike covered only 530 miles over five years. This pattern suggests the vehicle has spent long periods in storage. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, prolonged storage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid contamination, which are not reflected in the odometer reading alone. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front wheel bearings and steering head bearings, as these were flagged for free play in both 2017 and 2019. The 2017 failure also highlighted excessive brake disc run-out and worn pads, indicating that the braking system was previously ignored until it reached failure. The rear sprocket carrier bearing should be checked for play again, as it was a recurring fault in the past. Given the noisy exhaust advisory in the latest test, inspect the manifold for cracks or loose mounting bolts that often result from heat cycles on low-mileage bikes.
