Our Verdict

A highly attractive prospect for a colle

When purchasing a motorcycle of this age with such low mileage, the primary focus should be on 'shelf-life' degradation. Check for perished rubber components, including fuel lines and tyres, which can crack over time regardless of mileage. Ensure there is a documented service history that shows regular oil and fluid changes, as stagnant fluids can be detrimental to an engine that is rarely used.

Negotiate based on the age of the consumables. If the tyres are old despite having plenty of tread, they will need replacing for safety. Verify the condition of the battery and the fuel system, as long periods of inactivity can lead to gummed-up carburettors or fuel tank corrosion.

The 918cc engine will have higher fuel consumption than modern mid-weight bikes, and insurance costs can vary significantly depending on the rider's profile, as this is a high-performance machine. Annual road tax is typically low for vehicles of this vintage.

Maintenance costs for a Honda of this era are generally manageable, provided parts are available. However, as a classic performance bike, specialised parts may occasionally command a premium. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance are approximately £900-£1,300.

While the MOT history from 2023 to 2025 is clean with no defects, you should still perform a thorough physical inspection. Focus on the brake system, ensuring the fluid is clear and not contaminated, and check the chain and sprockets for surface rust or lack of lubrication.

Inspect the orange paintwork and fairings for any signs of age-related fading or stress cracks. Because the MOT records show no failures, pay close attention to the areas not always scrutinised in a standard test, such as the condition of the fork seals and the operation of all electrical switches.

This 1998 orange Honda CBR900RR presents a rare profile with only 8,685 miles recorded at its last MOT in July 2025. The vehicle has passed its last three MOT tests in 2023, 2024, and 2025 without a single defect or advisory recorded. Given its age and the low usage indicated by the mileage, it represents a distinct example of this 918cc model.

Aggregate MOT data for the Honda CBR900RR is not available, though this specific vehicle's recent record is clean.
