Lot 377
1995 Honda 893cc CBR900RR Fireblade
Registration no. M966 LKH
Frame no. SC28-2353368
Engine no. SC28E-2353713
Developed by Honda originally as a 750, by the expedient of an increase in the stroke, it was opened out to 893cc and became the CBR900RR, entering the range in 1992. Thanks in part to its lightweight alloy chassis, the performance was electrifying, and the Fireblade could show a clean pair of heels to most of its heavier competitors of the day. It was further developed and improved over the years, until eventually being replaced by the CBR1000RR in 2004. M966 LKH is effectively the second generation of the model which had been given a few tweaks to suspension, gearchange, and styling. It has had only one previous owner, and the mileage recorded on the odometer at consignment was 17, 020, which is believed by the vendor to be correct. It was last MoT'd in March 2024 when the mileage was 16, 932. Prior to the MoT, the owner had a full service and re-commissioning by a local Honda specialist. The work included a full caliper rebuild and braided hydraulic hoses fitted, valve clearances, rebuilt forks, full carburettors rebuild and digital balance, a new chain and sprocket kit, a fuel pump, and new Bridgestone tyres fitted. The invoice totalled £1, 930. 74, and there is a copy on file. The vendor describes the machine as 'mechanically flawless' and ready to use. Documentation comprises a current V5C, the current MoT certificate, the aforementioned re-commissioning invoice, some old service and parts invoices, the warranty and service booklet, and the original Bill of Sale dated 24th May 1995 from Miles Kingsport Ltd. The bike is presently on SORN.
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams Motorcycles website for all pertinent auction information.
