2021 Honda CBR 650 RA-M 0.6L Petrol · CP21 URA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a fluctuating history regarding the braking system. In the most recent test in July 2025 at 20,501 miles, the tester noted a slight fluctuation in the central rear brake effort. This follows a previous issue in August 2024 where the tester flagged a slightly grabbing condition on the front brake. While the bike has passed both inspections, the persistence of brake-related advisories suggests the hydraulic system or caliper pistons may require closer professional attention. At 20,501 miles, this five-year-old Honda reflects low annual usage, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per year. The interval between the August 2024 and July 2025 tests shows an accumulation of 2,946 miles, indicating consistent but light use. This low mileage profile generally suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or corrosion of exposed surfaces if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between rides. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly to address the recurring grabbing and fluctuation issues. The 2024 record specifically highlighted both front brake pads being near the minimum limit, so these should have been replaced since the last test. Additionally, check the nearside rear drive chain tension, which was flagged as slightly loose in 2024. Ensure the chain and sprockets show no signs of excessive stretch or dry rust, as low-mileage bikes often suffer from neglected lubrication.
