2001 Honda CBR900RR 0.9L Petrol · YT51 EXE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of recurring minor mechanical and electrical oversights. The most recent test in July 2025 at 41,590 miles resulted in a pass despite advisories a noisy exhaust and a slightly loose drive chain. While the bike consistently passes after repairs, the persistence of these specific faults over the last three years suggests that the owner addresses issues only when they fail rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 41,590 miles, the recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a quarter-century old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,664 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with only 922 miles covered between the June 2023 and July 2024 tests, and another 1,132 miles recorded in the final year of data. This low mileage often indicates less wear on the engine and drivetrain but significantly increases the risk of component degradation, seal drying, and fluid breakdown from the vehicle sitting for extended periods. A buyer must specifically inspect the offside front shock absorber, which was flagged for oil misting in both July 2024 at 40,410 miles and July 2024 at 40,458 miles. This indicates a failing seal that will eventually require a unit replacement to prevent leakage. The drive chain is also a recurring failure point, fluctuating between being slightly tight in 2023 and 2024 and slightly loose in 2025, which suggests the chain is reaching its stretch limit or is not being adjusted correctly. The persistent exhaust noise noted since June 2023 warrants a check for loose mounting brackets or internal baffle damage that could lead to a future failure.
