OK.....I want to buy an NC30!

[Annabella]

A few questions after viewing my first taday....

1. Is 32,000 a lot of miles for the old VFR?
2. How much have you paid to get them restricted?
3. How reliable are imported VFRs?

Ummm, I think thats it for the mo...I'm sure Ill think of others!

HELP ME PLEASE I need a better/nicer/faster/bigger bike, I want an NC, very very much!

THANK YOU you will be rewarded

"Very fiddly job" they said. Twats

>>OK.....I want to buy an NC30<<
Don't blame you

1. Is 32,000 a lot of miles for the old VFR?
Yes. Does it have a service history etc?.. Ie any recent rebuilds, includin the suspension brakes etc.

2. How much have you paid to get them restricted?
I heard a bit under £200, if you're getting it from a garage you might be able to do a deal, but that was a while ago (mole had his restricted I think, but he might have got it included with the price.)

3. How reliable are imported VFRs?
From what I've seen they're the best of the sports 400s



edit: for tiredness

Just give em all a bitch slap, they deserve it

*remembers how much they charged to fit a tyre on his scooter GRRR"

You can get them restricted for a couple of tins of lager

If you know a friendly mechanic like I do, buy the bike... take it to him... he will then cram rags in the exhaust, let the air out of the tyres and voila your bike will be less than 33bhp... the mechanic I know said the other week he restricted a ZXR400, crammed rags into the exhaust... stuck it on the dyno... 36bhp... let air out the tyres... 31bhp.... print off dyno sheet.... take the rags out (don't forget that bit ), pump up the tyres... get burnin some rubber!!

The NC30's are the most expensive of the older 400's. Even the CBR's are cheaper now. And the R/W/B colour scheme puts me off as I have a partially white bike now and I know how bad it is to keep clean
The VFR's are oficially the fastest but the ZXR usually wins out on road tests as it has slightly better handling *apparently*.
There seem to be plenty of us loking for 400's. Maybe we should get a forum together so we can share experiences and prices/for sales etc.

There must be alot of people who only do 20 miles a month to make the average so low

Hi

In the UK motorbikes "officially" do about 4 billion passenger km per year, same as bicycles. Compare that with cars that do about 630 billion passenger km. Somehow suspect the figures are a tad wrong as I really dont believe people do as many miles on bicycles as bikes

All the best

guess it's all the fair-weather weekend bikers dragging down the average.

I did more than 4000 a year just whacking my scoot round west london

[Demonic69]

I do 3000 a year just going the 3 miles to work and back. Then there's rallies, ride-outs, visits to the GF etc.
