1993 Honda CBR400 0.4L Petrol · L123 WAH

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 42,643 miles recorded no defects, indicating the motorcycle is currently in a roadworthy state. This follows a period of relatively clean passes, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been addressed or have not recurred. The mileage pattern reflects very low usage for a 33-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,292 miles per year. Between June 2006 and June 2014, the mileage increased by roughly 10,600 miles, but the rate of use slowed significantly thereafter. A notable gap exists in the records between July 2017 and July 2025, during which the vehicle covered only 1,863 miles. Such low annual mileage often implies long periods of storage, which can lead to component degradation despite low mechanical wear. A buyer should pay close attention to the steering and wheel assembly. The records show a recurring trend of notchiness in the steering movement, noted in June 2014, July 2017, and May 2007. While the 2007 failure specifically highlighted excessively rough front wheel bearings and excessive free play in the rear wheel bearings, the intermittent mention of steering issues suggests the steering head bearings or related components warrant a physical inspection. The history also indicates past issues with exhaust noise and tyre wear. The tester flagged a noisy exhaust in June 2008 and May 2007, and tyre tread depth was a concern in June 2014. Although these specific issues do not appear in the most recent 2025 test, the low usage pattern means rubber components, such as tyres and seals, may have aged or perished due to lack of movement rather than wear. Checking for perished rubber and ensuring the wheel alignment remains true is advisable.
