2007 Honda CBR125R 0.1L Petrol · TF07 BSE

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 31,781 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a leaking offside front shock absorber and an insecure central rear riders seat. While the bike passed immediately upon re-test, the recurrence of brake-related failures and mechanical wear over the years suggests components are often only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old motorcycle, averaging only about 1,673 miles per annum. However, the data shows a significant gap in records between June 2013 at 12,744 miles and June 2014 at 21,351 miles, during which the bike covered nearly 9,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has slowed considerably, with only 10,430 miles recorded between the June 2014 test and the January 2026 test. A buyer must inspect the rear braking system closely, as the record shows a recurring issue with binding brakes, low efficiency, and lack of effort dating back to 2014, 2017, and 2021. The 2023 test also flagged an exhaust leak and worn drive chain and sprocket, which are typical for low-mileage bikes that sit for periods. Given the recent misting on the front shock absorber, a physical inspection of the fork seals is required to ensure the leak has not progressed to a structural failure that would compromise handling.
