2008 Honda CBR 1000 RR-8 1.0L Petrol · EY58 XEN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean inspection history across the most recent years. The latest MOT test conducted in June 2024 at 12,028 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a period of consistent passing in 2023 and 2019, indicating that the primary mechanical and safety components have met regulatory standards without recurring failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 668 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between April 2016 and May 2019, during which the bike covered only 772 miles. Furthermore, between 2019 and 2024, the mileage increased by a further 644 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals of stationary time often lead to the degradation of age-based components rather than mileage-based wear. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the rubber components and fluids due to the low mileage. The April 2018 test noted a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, which suggests that despite the low mileage, consumables are being used until failure points. Specific attention is required for perished brake lines, degraded fork seals, and oxidation in the tank, which are common in vehicles that sit for extended periods. Additionally, the suspension and tyres should be checked for flat spotting or cracking to ensure the low usage has not masked internal age-related decay.
