1987 Honda CBX 0.7L Petrol · D423 BSA

This 1987 Honda CBX presents a profile typical of a low-use classic machine, averaging only 632 miles per year. While this low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear, it implies a high likelihood of long periods in storage, which brings its own set of risks regarding rubber deterioration and fluid degradation. The most recent MOT record dates back to April 2022. Given today is June 2026, there is a concerning four-year gap without a safety inspection. In April 2022, the bike initially failed for a defective stop lamp on both controls and incorrect headlamp aim, though it passed a retest the same day. The 2021 test already flagged a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and slight wheel misalignment. The condition trend appears stable regarding major structural or engine failures, as none are recorded. However, the history highlights a pattern of minor maintenance neglect, specifically concerning lighting and tyre wear. The failures are relatively minor, but the four-year hiatus since the last test significantly increases the uncertainty of the bike's current state. The low mileage relative to age suggests the main risks are storage-related rather than usage-related.
