Our Verdict
A decent example of a classic Honda sport-tourer, but one that requires a cautious approach. While it has a long history of passing MOTs, the recent pattern of 'dangerous' and 'major' failures suggests a period of neglect or poor maintenance.
Focus your negotiation on the evidence of inconsistent maintenance. The 2025 MOT failure included a 'Dangerous' result for an insecure rider's seat and 'Major' failures for the horn and indicators, which are basic safety items that should have been checked before the test. Ask for proof of recent servicing, specifically regarding the valve clearances and fork oil, as these are critical for a bike of this vintage.
Check the service history for any record of steering headbearing replacement. The MOT history shows recurring advisories for 'notchy' or 'stiff' steering (2017 and 2019), suggesting a long-term issue that may or may not have been fully resolved. Ensure all electrical components, particularly the indicators and horn, are now functioning perfectly.
