Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but generally a sol
When inspecting this specific orange CBR900RR, your primary focus should be on the braking system. The 2025 MOT record explicitly notes that the nearside front, offside front, and rear brake pads were all close to the minimum limit; you should verify if these have since been replaced with high-quality components.
Additionally, check the front shock absorber closely. The 2023 MOT recorded a light misting of oil on the offside front shock, so look for any signs of active leaks or significant weeping that might indicate seal failure. Given the 2023 advisory regarding a loose drive chain, ensure the chain and sprockets are in good condition and not excessively worn or 'kinked'.
As a 918cc petrol superbike, running costs will be higher than a standard commuter motorcycle. Expect relatively high fuel consumption if ridden aggressively, and insurance groups for high-capacity Honda sportbikes are typically substantial.
Maintenance costs for a machine of this age will involve periodic replacement of consumables like tyres, brake pads (which were flagged in the latest MOT), and chain kits. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, insurance, and routine maintenance, would likely fall between £1,200 and £1,800 depending on annual mileage and riding style.
First, inspect the braking hardware. The most recent MOT (2025) highlighted that all brake pads were near the minimum limit, so check the thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs for scoring.
Second, examine the suspension. Referencing the 2023 MOT, check the offside front shock absorber for any signs of oil misting or leaks. Third, check the drivetrain; ensure the drive chain is properly tensioned and lubricated, addressing the loose chain issue noted in the 2023 record. Finally, check the tyres for age and tread depth, as older bikes often have tyres that look good but are structurally aged.
This 1999 Honda CBR900RR presents with 26,239 miles on the clock, which is relatively low for a 27-year-old superbike. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing, though the most recent test in October 2025 flagged all brake pads as being close to their minimum limits. Previous records indicate minor issues with drive chain tension and shock absorber oil misting, suggesting a vehicle that has been used but is subject to regular inspections.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Honda CBR900RR to provide a comparative benchmark.
