1991 Honda CBR1000F 1.0L Petrol · J338 SOG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 30 April 2026 at 61,511 miles, but the maintenance trend is worsening. The most recent test flagged five separate advisories including a worn front tyre, a noisy exhaust, and a missing rear top caliper slider seal. These issues, alongside a loose drive chain and rear brake pads near their limit, suggest a decline in preventative maintenance compared to the clean records seen between 2020 and 2024. The mileage is low for a 35 year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 1,757 miles per year. The odometer shows very little movement in recent years, increasing by only 685 miles between April 2023 and April 2026. This pattern indicates the bike has spent significant periods standing, which often contributes to the seal failures and fluid leaks seen in the more recent history. A buyer must scrutinize the front suspension and braking system. The failure on 20 May 2025 at 61,260 miles was serious, involving fluid leaks from both front shock absorbers that contaminated the offside brake disc and pads. While the bike passed a week later, the recent 2026 advisory regarding a missing caliper slider seal suggests the braking system remains a point of weakness. The exhaust noise has been a recurring issue since May 2025, indicating a persistent leak or degradation of the silencing system. The combination of low usage and recurring brake and suspension faults suggests the bike requires a comprehensive mechanical overhaul of all rubber seals and hydraulic fluids to ensure long term reliability.
