2003 Honda CB900 0.9L Petrol · LD53 LRJ

The current roadworthiness status of this Honda CB900 is stable, with the most recent test on 14 June 2025 resulting in a pass at 39,771 miles. While the machine failed its initial 2025 inspection due to headlamp alignment, this was rectified immediately, indicating a pattern of addressing minor compliance issues to secure a pass. The history shows a consistent trend of resolving faults promptly, suggesting the motorcycle has been maintained to a functional standard rather than neglected. At 39,771 miles over 23 years, the annual usage averages roughly 1,730 miles, which confirms the low-mileage nature of this vehicle. The records show steady, incremental use throughout its life with no significant gaps in testing, suggesting the bike has not been left to sit for extended periods. This consistent, light usage pattern is generally favourable for mechanical longevity, provided the owner adhered to age-related service intervals for fluids and rubber components that degrade over time regardless of mileage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the electrical and suspension systems, as these areas have flagged recurring issues. The headlamp alignment has been a persistent failure point since 2016, so verify the security of the headlamp housing and mounting brackets. Given the history of a worn rear suspension bush in 2018 and a faulty shock absorber in 2016, check the rear swingarm bearings and the damping performance of the shock for signs of leakage or lack of rebound control. Inspect the brake light switches for reliable operation, as this was a specific failure point in 2023, and ensure the rear wheel bearings remain free of the play noted during the 2021 test.
