Our Verdict
Highly recommended for enthusiasts seeking a well-maintained modern classic. This CBR900RR shows exceptionally low mileage and a consistent history of passing MOT tests without major failures.
Because this is a high-performance 918cc machine, your primary focus should be on the service history rather than just the MOT. While the MOT history is excellent, you must verify that the oil and coolant have been changed regularly, as low-mileage bikes can sometimes suffer from 'sitting too long' syndrome. Ask for proof of chain and sprocket replacements, as the 2019 MOT noted a worn and loose drive chain.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and rubber components. Even if they have plenty of tread, rubber degrades over time. Check that the fuel system has been maintained, as older Hondas can suffer from stale fuel issues if left unused for long periods. Ensure the owner has documentation for any major component replacements, such as the rear shock or steering bearings, which have been flagged in previous years.
As a 900cc superbike from the late 90s, running costs will be higher than a standard commuter motorcycle. Fuel economy will be moderate, typical for a high-performance petrol engine of this displacement. Insurance groups for 1990s superbikes can vary significantly depending on the rider's experience and age, so obtain a quote beforehand.
Maintenance costs will be influenced by the specialist nature of the parts. While Honda reliability is legendary, parts for a 1998 model may command a premium. Expect to budget for regular chain maintenance, tyre replacements, and periodic valve clearances. An estimated annual running cost, assuming moderate seasonal use, would be in the region of £1,200-£1,600 including fuel, insurance, and maintenance.
Pay close attention to the steering geometry. The 2015 and 2019 MOT advisories noted 'notchy' movement and 'slight free play' in the steering head bearings. Ensure these have been professionally addressed and that the steering feels smooth and centered during a test ride.
Inspect the rear suspension carefully. A 2015 advisory mentioned reduced damping in the rear shock absorber; check that the rear end feels composed and does not bounce excessively over bumps. Additionally, check the condition of the drive chain and sprockets, as the 2019 history indicated wear and looseness in these components. Finally, check the tyres for age-related cracking (sidewall cracking) regardless of tread depth.
This 1998 Honda CBR900RR is a remarkably low-mileage example, having covered just 22,588 miles in nearly 28 years. The MOT history is clean, showing a pattern of consistent maintenance with no recorded failures, only minor advisories related to consumables. Given its age and the scarcity of well-kept superbikes from this era, it represents a strong value proposition for collectors or riders.
While aggregate data is unavailable, the Honda CBR series is historically renowned for mechanical robustness and long-term reliability.
