1997 Honda CBR1100XX 1.1L Petrol · N55 MAA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 11 October 2025 at 34,154 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of clean MOT tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within operational parameters without the emergence of the recurring failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 29-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,178 miles per year. Between September 2021 and October 2025, the vehicle covered only 80 miles, moving from 34,074 to 34,154 miles. This minimal usage indicates the bike is likely stored dry and used only in fair weather. While this reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it often increases the risk of degradation in rubber components and aged fluids that an MOT test cannot fully detect. Because the MOT record shows no historical faults, a buyer must focus their physical inspection on issues related to low-mileage storage. Check for cracking in fork hoses, fuel lines, and brake pipes, which can perish over time regardless of distance travelled. Examine the tyres for flat spotting or dry rot and inspect brake calipers for seizing after long periods of inactivity. While the record confirms structural integrity is sound, the age of the machine requires a thorough look at perished seals and hidden corrosion to ensure the bike has not suffered while standing.
