Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for a high-capaci
When inspecting this specific 1137cc machine, focus your attention on the front suspension. The 2026 MOT advisory specifically mentions a light misting of oil on the offside front shock absorber; you should check if this is a minor weep or a sign of an impending seal failure.
Given the mileage of 75,193, ask the seller for any documentation regarding major service intervals, particularly for the fuel system and valve clearances, which are critical on large-capacity Honda engines. Ensure the silver bodywork and components are free from any signs of excessive corrosion or impact damage that might not be captured in a standard MOT.
As a large-capacity 1137cc petrol motorcycle, running costs will be higher than a standard commuter bike. Fuel economy will depend heavily on riding style, but expect typical big-tourer consumption levels.
Insurance groups for high-capacity superbikes like the CBR1100XX tend to be higher, so obtain a quote based on your profile before purchasing. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for relatively high, particularly for tyres and chain/sprocket kits which wear faster on heavy, powerful machines. Estimated annual running costs sit in the mid-to-high range for a motorcycle of this class.
The primary inspection point is the front suspension assembly. Based on the MOT record from 19 August 2026, inspect the offside front shock absorber closely for any signs of active oil leakage rather than just light misting.
Additionally, check the overall condition of the braking system and tyre tread depths, as these are common areas for advisories on high-mileage motorcycles. While no defects were recorded in 2024 or 2025, the increase in mileage to over 75,000 means checking for any signs of chain slack or sprocket wear is essential.
This 2005 Honda CBR1100XX, finished in silver, shows a consistent mileage progression, having covered 75,193 miles as of August 2026. The MOT history over the last three years is notably stable, with two consecutive years of passing without any recorded defects. The most recent test in August 2026 noted a light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber, which requires monitoring.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Honda CBR1100XX to provide a statistical baseline.
