2008 Honda CBR 1100 X-6 1.1L Petrol · FV08 VOF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in October 2024 at 76,536 miles with no defects recorded. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a significant mechanical failure in late 2018. While the most recent report is clean, the history shows that the motorcycle has previously suffered from reactive maintenance where components were addressed only upon failing rather than through a preventative schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for an eighteen-year-old Honda, averaging only approximately 4,250 miles per year. There is a conspicuous six-year gap between the November 2018 and October 2024 tests, during which the bike covered only 2,485 miles. Such infrequent use suggests the vehicle likely sat for long periods, which often leads to the gradual degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and internal corrosion within fuel or brake lines, despite the low mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain. A buyer must physically inspect the steering geometry and braking system to ensure the previous issues have remained resolved. The 2018 failure specifically flagged the steering head bearings as excessively stiff or notchy, a condition that requires a check for play or resistance during a test ride. Additionally, the record shows a history of neglected rear brakes, with thin pads and worn discs identified in 2017 and 2018. You should verify the current thickness of the rear pad material and check for deep scoring or thinning on the disc to ensure the replacements made years ago were of sufficient quality.
