Our Verdict
A potentially appealing example of a cla
The most striking detail is the mileage jump of over 22,000 miles between 2022 and 2024. You should request detailed service records for this specific period to ensure that oil changes and valve clearances were performed to match this increased usage. It is also worth investigating if the bike sat dormant for a long period prior to 2022, which could affect rubber components and seals.
Negotiate based on the steering headbearing advisory; while not a failure, it is a wear item that may require adjustment or replacement to ensure safe handling. Ensure the seller can provide proof of ownership and a clear history for the period of rapid mileage increase.
With a large 1157cc engine, fuel economy will be lower than modern mid-weight bikes, making fuel a primary ongoing expense. Insurance groups for this era of Suzuki are generally moderate, but costs will vary based on the rider's profile and location.
Maintenance for a 25-year-old motorcycle typically involves higher costs for consumables and the potential for age-related component failure. Annual running costs, including tax, insurance, fuel, and basic servicing, are estimated to be moderate for a bike of this displacement.
Directly inspect the steering headbearing, as the February 2024 MOT recorded it as slightly stiff or notchy. With the front wheel off the ground, check for any 'notching' or resistance when turning the handlebars from lock to lock.
Given the high mileage covered in a short window between 2022 and 2024, closely examine the condition of the tyres, brake pads, and drive chain. Check for any signs of leaks around the engine gaskets and ensure all lights and electrical systems are functioning correctly, as older petrol models can develop wiring issues over time.
This blue 2001 Suzuki GSF1200 has recorded 22,888 miles as of its February 2024 MOT. The available history shows two passes, with the most recent test noting an advisory for a slightly stiff or notchy steering headbearing. There is a significant increase in mileage between the 2022 and 2024 tests, moving from 268 miles to 22,888 miles.
Aggregate MOT data for the Suzuki GSF1200 is unavailable, meaning reliability must be assessed on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis.
