2002 Harley-Davidson XL1200C 1.2L Petrol · YR52 RSZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2025 with 7,109 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a period of neglect in early 2024. While the 2024 test highlighted specific issues related to consumables and the exhaust, the subsequent test suggests the owner addressed these primary faults to bring the motorcycle back to a standard operating condition. The mileage figures indicate extremely low usage, averaging approximately 296 miles per year over its twenty-four-year life. There is a significant gap in data between the August 2015 and September 2022 tests during which the bike covered only 655 miles. The jump of 4,390 miles between March 2024 and March 2025 represents a recent and sharp increase in use. This pattern often suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which leads to age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear from distance travelled. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of all rubber components, as the 2024 record flagged perished sidewalls on both front and rear tyres despite the low mileage. Static motorcycles are prone to dry rot in tyres, brake lines, and fork seals which do not show through tread depth. The noisy exhaust noted in 2024 should be re-checked for leaks or corroded brackets that may have caused the initial alarm noise. Given the age of the bike, verify the frame for surface corrosion and check the fluid levels for moisture contamination, as long-term storage often leads to internal oxidation within the fuel and brake systems.
