2008 Honda CBR1000RR 1.0L Petrol · LT08 FBZ

The overall roadworthiness status of this 2008 Honda CBR1000RR remains stable, supported by a clean MOT pass on 2024-11-21 at 7,152 miles. The maintenance trend shows no recurring mechanical defects, though the tester noted the passenger seat was absent during the most recent inspection. This does not affect the structural integrity or mechanical operation, but a buyer must verify the seat is present and the mounting points are undamaged. The motorcycle has consistently passed its tests without any advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake components, or exhaust emissions since 2021. The recorded mileage of 7,152 miles over 18 years equates to roughly 397 miles annually, confirming exceptionally light use. The MOT history reveals a gradual accumulation of miles, moving from 6,900 miles in May 2020 to 7,152 miles by November 2024. This slow progression suggests the motorcycle spent extended periods standing rather than being ridden regularly. Prolonged inactivity often leads to deteriorated rubber components, stale fuel, and corrosion in the braking system, which standard MOT tests do not fully assess. A recurring pattern of rear tyre wear appears in the records, with a failure for low tread depth in May 2022 at 7,100 miles and an advisory for a worn rear tyre in May 2020 at 6,900 miles. Failing twice on rear tyre tread within two years suggests the previous owner neglected basic consumable replacements, likely due to infrequent riding causing the rubber to perish between outings. A prospective buyer should thoroughly inspect the sidewalls for cracking and assess the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as standing motorcycles frequently suffer from surface rust and binding calipers. Checking the exhaust system for corrosion and verifying the structural integrity of the frame and swingarm are also prudent steps given the extended periods of dormancy.
