1999 HONDA CG1250.1L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT in September 2023 at 28,097 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This represents a significant improvement over the mechanical inconsistencies seen between 2009 and 2015. While the history shows instances of reactive maintenance, the recent clean sheet suggests the motorcycle has been maintained to a functional standard in its later years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 27-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,040 miles per year. There is a notable gap in data between June 2015 and 2023, where the vehicle covered only 78 miles over eight years. This stagnant usage since the 28,019 mile mark suggests the bike spent long periods in storage, which often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components such as perished seals, hoses, and dry-rott despite low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system, as the record previously flagged sticking roller brakes, inadequate lever travel, and distorted bead rims. The 2009 and 2010 failures also highlight a history of neglect regarding basic consumables like tyres and lighting. Given the long period of inactivity, verify the condition of the fuel system, the integrity of the tyres, and the structural state of the frame for corrosion, as these are common failure points for low-mileage vintage commuters.
