2008 Honda CBR 1100 X-6 1.1L Petrol · LC08 UTH

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in its latest test in April 2026 at 71,334 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, following a period of minor failures that were promptly rectified. While the bike failed in 2025 due to headlamp aim, the subsequent pass without any recorded defects or defects indicates that the current owner is addressing safety-related items as they arise. The motorcycle exhibits a very low mileage profile, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year over its 18-year life. There is a notable gap in records between October 2021 and October 2023, where the vehicle covered only 1,738 miles in two years. This low usage suggests that the mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain is minimal compared to high-mileage examples of this model. However, periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which is not captured by mileage figures alone. A physical inspection should focus on the steering and suspension components due to recurring issues. The tester flagged notchy steering in both 2016 and 2018, which suggests potential wear in the steering head bearings or races. Additionally, the 2023 record noted a light misting of oil on the front shock absorber. A buyer must verify that this seal has not deteriorated into a significant leak, which would compromise handling and require a fork rebuild. The braking system has shown a history of reactive maintenance, with front brake pads reaching minimum limits in both 2016 and 2020. While the discs were noted as pitted in 2019, the buyer should check the current state of the rotors for uneven wear or thinning given the low mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the frame for structural corrosion is also essential, though the record has not flagged any structural failures to date.
