1998 Honda 600 0.6L Petrol · R951 LHT

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last decade. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 21,365 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a clean record that dates back to 2017. This consistency suggests that the motorcycle has been well-preserved and does not suffer from progressive mechanical or structural failures despite its age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 28-year-old machine, averaging approximately 763 miles per year. Data shows significant periods of minimal use, such as between July 2020 and July 2022, where the vehicle covered only 6 miles in two years. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long intervals between use can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid quality. The steady progression from 2014 to 2025 indicates consistent, light usage rather than sporadic storage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, given historical issues with the fork seals. The 2013 failure noted a misting on the nearside shock absorber, which returned as a minor defect in 2018. Although the 2025 test showed no defects, the seals should be checked for oil leaks or perished rubber caused by sitting. Additionally, the 2013 failure regarding brake effort fluctuation and a distorted rim warrants a thorough check of the front discs for warping and the wheel rim integrity to ensure previous repairs were definitive. Given the low mileage, verifying the age of the tyres and the condition of brake lines is essential.
