2007 Honda CBR 125 RS-5 0.1L Petrol · BF07 SVR

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clean record across the three most recent inspections. The latest MOT conducted in June 2023 at 30,439 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and electrical systems were functioning within tolerance at that time. This follows a period of improvement after a failure in early 2021, where lighting and exhaust issues were identified and subsequently rectified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nineteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,600 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the three-year gap between the 2019 and 2022 tests where the bike covered only 4,857 miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle is likely stored rather than used daily. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to age-related degradation of perishables, such as perished seals, degraded fluid, and the hardening of rubber hoses or fuel lines. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that have historically shown issues or suffer from age. The 2011 failure for a binding offside front roller brake suggests a need to inspect the caliper sliders and piston seals for corrosion or seized movement. Given the 2021 failure regarding a noisy exhaust, verify the mounting brackets and manifold for structural rust or internal baffle damage. Because of the low mileage, check the manufacture date on the tyres and the condition of the chain, as these components often reach the end of their life through oxidation rather than mileage wear.
