1990s Honda CBR600F Valuation Report

Date: November 2025

Historical Overview

The 1990s Honda CBR600F (carburetted models, typically 1990–1999) is one of the benchmark 600cc four-cylinder sports / sports-touring motorcycles. Early “jelly mould” versions and later 1990s updates built a strong reputation for reliability, friendly handling and everyday usability. Many UK examples have led hard lives as commuters and all-rounders, so condition and mileage vary widely and have a big impact on value.

UK Valuation Summary (1990s Honda CBR600F)

Condition	Estimated Value (GBP)	Data Source / Notes
Project / Non-Running Complete but stored, no MOT, needs full recommissioning.	£300 – £800 (Based on low UK auction results and typical project pricing)	Complete early-1990s CBR600F “barn finds” and non-running projects with tired cosmetics and long periods off the road usually trade cheaply at auction or as private projects. This band assumes the bike is largely complete and sensibly restorable.
Roadworthy / Presentable Running, MOT'd, tidy rider with age-related wear.	£1,400 – £2,000 (Typical UK private / dealer asking range)	Auction sales for running early-1990s CBR600F models with 40k–60k miles often sit around £1,000–£1,150 (trade money). Dealer and private adverts for MOT’d, presentable bikes commonly fall between £1,400 and £2,000, depending on mileage, cosmetics and history.
Very Tidy / Low-Mileage Late-90s, clean, mostly original, good history.	£2,200 – £3,000+ (Estimated based on top-end UK adverts)	Very clean 1994–1998 examples with lower mileage, good paintwork and largely original parts are frequently advertised from around £2,200 upwards. Exceptional late-1990s, low-mileage bikes with strong history and originality can justify prices near or above £3,000, although strong asking prices still need the right buyer to be achieved.

Value Influencing Factors

Originality: Factory paint, correct decals, original exhaust and fairings generally add value, especially on later 1990s bikes.
Mileage: Lower mileage with MOT history and service records is attractive, but overall condition often matters more than the exact odometer figure.
Mechanical condition: Clean-running engines, smooth carburation, recent brake and suspension work, and good tyres all help a bike land at the top of its band.
Cosmetics: Uncracked fairings, straight panels, tidy wheels and minimal corrosion on frames and fasteners present far better to buyers.
Documentation: V5C, MOT history, service invoices and old photos support confidence and justify stronger pricing.

Conclusion

As of November 2025, the 1990s Honda CBR600F is best viewed as a usable modern classic. Non-running or long-stored projects generally sit in the £300–£800 range, depending on completeness and how much recommissioning is required. Most honest, MOT’d riders with 30k–60k miles fall between £1,400 and £2,000 in the UK private / dealer market, with auction prices typically a little lower.

Very tidy late-1990s examples with lower mileage, strong cosmetics and good originality can comfortably justify £2,200–£3,000 or more, particularly if supported by history files and careful long-term ownership. Genuine “collector-grade” machines are still relatively rare, and the very top prices will depend heavily on condition, originality and documentation for each individual bike.

Sources & Methodology:
Sources: UK auction catalogues and results, UK dealer listings, Car & Classic adverts, and private “sold” data where available. Value bands are evidence-based estimates using these sources; upper bands may be informed by strong asking prices rather than frequent confirmed hammer results.
