2021 Honda CB 650 RA-M 0.6L Petrol · WU21 AHA

The motorcycle passed its MOT very recently on May 30, 2026, at 31,638 miles. The recorded mileage is roughly 6,300 miles per year, which is typical for a five-year-old machine and suggests the bike has seen regular use rather than long periods of standing. The history indicates a trend of increasing wear on specific components. The 2024 test was clean, but the 2025 and 2026 entries show the emergence of advisories. Notably, the noisy exhaust issue recorded in 2025 persisted into the 2026 test, suggesting this has not been rectified. Conversely, the steering head bearing noted as slightly stiff or notchy in 2025 was not listed in the latest result, implying this may have been addressed or adjusted. A new advisory regarding the front brake lever being short appeared in the most recent test. While the tester confirmed the brake could still be readily applied, this is a significant safety consideration. It suggests the braking system is experiencing wear, potentially due to fluid displacement, pad wear, or air in the lines. Given the mileage relative to its age, the vehicle is performing as expected, but the accumulation of advisories points to upcoming maintenance needs rather than catastrophic defects.
