Our Verdict
This 2017 Honda CBR is a strong candidat
When inspecting this motorcycle, prioritise the rear brake system due to the advisory noted in February 2025. While the subsequent 2026 test showed no defects, ensure the brake disc and pads are in good condition and that the pedal travel feels firm rather than spongy.
Beyond the brakes, check for any signs of corrosion on the frame or swingarm, which can be common on bikes of this age. Ask the seller for any additional service documentation, as MOT records only confirm the vehicle met minimum safety standards at the time of testing.
The 649cc engine is generally efficient, though fuel consumption will vary based on riding style and urban versus motorway usage. As a motorcycle, the annual VED (road tax) is fixed, and insurance groups for the CBR650 range are typically reasonable, though premiums will depend on your individual rider profile.
Maintenance costs should be manageable, but you should budget for regular servicing including oil changes, chain adjustments, and tyre replacements. Expect an estimated annual running cost in the region of £900-£1,200, accounting for fuel, insurance, tax, and routine consumables.
Focus your inspection on the areas identified as common failure points for this model, specifically the headlamp alignment and tyre condition. Ensure the tyres have adequate tread depth and are free from uneven wear, as this is a frequent MOT failure point for the CBR series.
Test the electrical components, particularly the headlamp, to ensure all bulbs are functional and correctly aligned. Given the 2025 brake advisory, perform a physical check of the rear brake disc for scoring or thinning, and ensure the master cylinder is not leaking fluid.
Registered in July 2017, this black 649cc motorcycle has covered 21,906 miles over nine years of use. Its MOT history is notably clean, with only one minor advisory noted in 2025 regarding rear brake effort. Given the consistent pass rate and low frequency of issues, this bike represents a stable option within the mid-capacity sports-tourer segment.
The Honda CBR series generally maintains a high reliability reputation, consistently performing well above the average 87.9% MOT pass rate seen across the broader motorcycle market.
