2004 Honda CBR 1100 X-4 1.1L Petrol · P55 DAJ

The vehicle maintains a current roadworthiness status following a pass on 15 June 2026 at 31,113 miles. The maintenance trend remains stable, with the motorcycle consistently passing its annual examinations over the last six years. The single advisory noted in the most recent test regarding a noisy exhaust suggests the silencer or collector box may be nearing the end of its service life, though this does not currently compromise the vehicle's legal status. The recorded mileage of 31,113 miles over twenty-two years indicates a very low usage pattern, averaging approximately 1,414 miles per annum. This history shows long periods of minimal accumulation, such as the interval between May 2020 and July 2022 where the bike covered only 146 miles. While low mileage often preserves engine internals, the extended periods of inactivity increase the risk of fuel system varnish, seized brake pistons, and internal corrosion within the fuel tank or cooling system. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension, specifically checking the fork seals for signs of active leakage following the misting advisories recorded in August 2024. Although these did not reappear in the 2026 test, the age of the seals makes them a likely point of failure. You should also verify the integrity of the exhaust system to determine if the noise is caused by internal baffle degradation or external pinhole corrosion. Given the infrequent use, ensure the brake fluid has been flushed recently and inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or hardening, as the rubber may be significantly older than the current tread depth implies.
