89 NC30 VFR400

[2.2_Coupe]

Lately i've had a deeply unhealthy want for an RC30, which lets be honest just isnt going to happen, so recalled a time in the late 90s when my mate bought an nc30, and thought "aye thats close enough for me". Combined with the fact I only have an A1, I set about getting my full A, and an NC30, the NC30 happened first!

I went on a quest for a tidy Seed 1, and happened upon this one in England, at Hells Bells Classics.

Ive ordered a clear screen, and a pair of Ti non adjustable levers, to make it slightly more OE, even if the yellow honda decals arnt (I forgave those because rc30)
Otherwise its just been lurking in the garage getting smothered in Polish Angel High Gloss

Lovely bike. I do always have a double take when I see one one those colours.
Enjoy.

Oh I LOVE an NC30. I recall standing, aged 19, in Allen's Honda contemplating if I could live with selling my Sierra and using the cash to buy the VFR400 in front of me.

Tried many years later to source one in NI and couldn't find one that hadn't slid up the road at some point.

They're beautifully engineered things. Looks like you got a cracking example there Values only going one way too.

looks like a decent example. personally would remove the Chinese V fairing for an original to allow air flow to the rads. start looking for OEM panels an uncut undertray which will help the value

id pondered this, but the rad and oil cooler are brand new = regardless im not really planning on using it, unless it was going to be dry all day, and at most, maybe to the nw200 and home, thus then I could in theory cut it, but then I could just get the full tyga single seat set:

F that’s lovely. I kick myself every time I look at my old one, sold it because it was to clean ffs every time I took it out or put it in the van to a show etc I marked it in someways, had it at the festival of speed thing on Ards airport a few years back and an older gentleman bid me a healthy price on it for his grandson (who was like 5 then) to have for him when he passed his test. Always thought to buy another but would be the same outcome unfortunately

Lovely. I've had half a dozen or more NC30's in my time and would love to have another again but decent ones are hen teeth now. Doubt you'll loose a penny on it if you ever sold it.

100% this. Even if you're just taking a spin to the shops on the driest day they still get very hot. Just cut out the area and silicon in a mesh filter to allow more air to flow.
