Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect for a colle
When inspecting this CBR900, your primary focus should be on the age of consumable components. Even with only 11,068 miles on the odometer, items such as tyres, brake fluid, and coolant may be aged and require replacement regardless of tread depth or mileage. Check the manufacture dates on the tyres to ensure they are safe for road use.
Negotiate based on the evidence of a documented service history; while the MOTs are clean, they do not confirm regular oil changes or mechanical upkeep. Look for evidence of fuel system maintenance, as carbureted motorcycles of this era can suffer from stale fuel issues if left sitting for long periods. Ensure all electrical components and lights function correctly, as these are standard points of failure on older electronics.
As a 918cc petrol machine, running costs will be higher than a standard commuter motorcycle. Fuel economy will depend heavily on riding style, but expect typical large-capacity sportbike consumption. Tax and insurance groups for a 1996 high-capacity Honda will likely be mid-to-high range, reflecting its engine size and performance capabilities.
Maintenance costs for a classic Honda can be manageable if parts are available, but specialist attention may be required for older engine components. Expect an annual running cost that accounts for seasonal storage, high-octane fuel, and periodic maintenance of age-sensitive parts.
Since the MOT history shows no recorded defects or failures between 2022 and 2026, there are no specific recurring mechanical failures to flag from the data. However, you should manually inspect the condition of the chain, sprockets, and drive belt, as these can corrode or perish in static conditions.
Pay close attention to the suspension seals and brake calipers. On a 1996 model with such low mileage, it is common to find perished rubber seals or seized caliper pistons due to lack of use rather than wear. Check the fuel tank internally for any signs of corrosion that might not be visible from the exterior.
This 1996 Honda CBR900 in Grey presents with remarkably low mileage, having covered just 11,068 miles in approximately 30 years. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes since 2022, with no recorded defects or failures across the four most recent tests. While the recent records are clean, the vehicle's age means the low mileage should be weighed against the potential for rubber and seal degradation.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Honda CBR900 to provide a statistical reliability overview.
