Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the recorded
The most critical point of negotiation is the lapsed MOT; the vehicle has not been tested since November 2022. You should insist on a fresh MOT or accompany the seller to a testing station to identify any issues that have developed during its period of inactivity.
Given the 111,001 miles on the odometer, scrutinise the service history for evidence of major component replacements, such as the cam chain or clutch plates. Ensure there is a clear record of oil changes and valve clearances, as these are vital for the longevity of this 1137cc engine.
Running costs for this 1137cc petrol engine will be higher than modern equivalents due to older fuel injection and emission technology. Expect modest fuel economy typical of 1990s large-capacity motorcycles, and check current insurance groups for classic bikes of this displacement.
Annual maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the vehicle's age. Rubber components, seals, and tyres are prone to perishing over time, especially if the bike has been stationary since its last MOT in 2022.
Pay close attention to the nearside front fork seal, which was flagged for a 'light misting of oil' in November 2022; check if this has progressed to a full leak. Inspect the tyres for flat spots or cracking (perishing) and check the brake fluid condition, as these are common issues for bikes that have been off the road.
Examine the beige bodywork and frame for signs of corrosion or oxidation. Given the mileage, check for any play in the wheel bearings and the condition of the drive chain and sprockets, which will likely require replacement if they have not been addressed recently.
This 1996 beige Honda CBR1100XX is a high-mileage example of a classic sport-tourer, with 111,001 miles recorded as of November 2022. The available MOT data shows two passes, though the most recent test included an advisory regarding a fork seal. Potential buyers should note the significant gap in testing between 2022 and the present date.
No aggregate MOT data is available for this model, but it is a known large-capacity Honda from the mid-1990s.
