1997 Honda CBR1100XX 1.1L Petrol · R158 DKX

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 24 June 2025 at 35,715 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to August 2021, suggesting a high standard of mechanical upkeep and a lack of recurring faults. The mileage is low for a 29-year-old machine, averaging roughly 1,232 miles per year. The data shows a steady but light usage pattern, with the odometer moving from 32,099 miles in August 2021 to 35,715 miles by June 2025. A slight increase in activity occurred between February 2023 and June 2024, where the vehicle covered 1,289 miles, but overall the usage remains minimal. While the MOT history is devoid of failures, the low mileage and age of the bike necessitate a specific physical inspection. Long periods of standing can lead to perished rubber components and degraded fluids. A buyer should check for cracked tyre sidewalls, brittle brake hoses, and the condition of the fork seals. Inspect the fuel system for signs of varnish or gumming if the bike sat idle between tests. Check the battery health and ensure the brake calipers are not seizing, as low-use vehicles often suffer from binding calipers. Finally, examine the frame and swingarm for surface corrosion that a standard MOT tester might overlook if it does not compromise structural integrity.
