2021 Honda CBR 650 RA-M 0.6L Petrol · MW21 ABK

The Honda CBR 650 RA-M presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 29 July 2025 at 9,759 miles, with the tester recording no defects. The maintenance trend shows a brief disruption earlier that year but resolved cleanly. Two consecutive failures on 30 April 2025 and 9 May 2025 at 9,754 miles were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle then cleared correctly three weeks later. Recorded mileage stands at 9,759 miles against a 2021 registration, averaging roughly 1,952 miles per year. The April 2024 pass at 7,452 miles and the July 2025 pass at 9,759 miles show only 2,307 miles added across fifteen months. This low annual use suggests extended standing periods. Sparse test data limits deep wear analysis, though the absence of advisories on every test points to light cycling rather than neglected high-mileage abuse. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, fork seals, and brake calipers given the machine's age and likely storage. Standing motorcycles commonly develop corroded brake discs, perished tyres, and stiffened linkage bearings even without MOT faults. The unexplained twin failures in spring 2025 warrant a check of the VIN plate, lighting, and paperwork presented at test to rule out recurring documentation mismatches. No structural corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or drivetrain advisories appear in the record. The clean history and low mileage imply a carefully stored machine, but pre-purchase examination of consumables remains prudent.
