Hello and welcome.

The NC30 is a fab looking bike and one of the models I've thought about buying when I can't deal with my R1 anymore, in fact one of several grey 400cc bikes I'd like.

Must say I'm a bit bias on that era of bike, I've got an RGV250 and at the age of 57 can still squeeze onto it...just.

if i ever had another grey import 400 (i used to have a cbr 400 and an nc 30) i would have a cb super four 400 or a xjr 400)

NC30 is a cracking bike.

NC30 is an awesome bike. I had one as a courtesy bike when mine was being fixed some years ago. Only you can determine whether it’s the right bike for you.

 

I once, briefly, owned a ZXR750 which I found uncomfortable after an hour. I learnt to take regular breaks… If nothing else, you will find out what your biking needs are and will be in a position to change it to something appropriate if necessary.

Depends on how tall you are John. I am 5ft 5ins and a bit and found mine to be OK round town but great over 50mph. Wrists got the brunt of it. It was so much fun i wonder why i sold it (2010) mine was an import F reg with MPH speedo.

 

Pics please, we all want to see it.

here's mine when it was clean.
