Honda Cb 1000 Ra K (2020)
2020 Honda Cb 1000 Ra K
CarHunch analysed 223 real MOT records for the 2020 Honda Cb 1000 Ra K. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Honda CB 1000 RA-K is a genuinely reliable motorcycle, with a 91.6% first-time pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%. Only 3.1% of these bikes have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low and suggests solid engineering across the cohort.
At a median mileage of 4,808 miles for a four-year-old machine, these are lightly used sports bikes, so the strong pass rate reflects good ownership rather than exceptional durability under heavy use. The average of just 0.19 failures per vehicle confirms that when these bikes do need work, it's typically minor—but before buying, run a full service history check to ensure routine maintenance has been properly logged, since that's what keeps this model performing well.
What to check before buying a 2020 Honda Cb 1000 Ra K
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
