have i got a good deal ? nc30

[vfrchris]

popped into my local tuning garage to pick up my dead dr650 engine and one of the guys said dont suppose you know anyone interested in a 400 vfr.. i said i would love it but bet i couldnt afford it..he gave me what i think is an amazing price..so my question is what would you guys pay for this

its coming with a fresh mot,29k km on the clock...

No more than £700-900 I would have thought.
Dodgy paint job with terrible stickers? Yeah, it's clean, but it's nothing special.

What mattspatt said, around £700 ish.

3 Things though.

1. Check the regulator
2. Remove the Honda Britain decals immediately - WTF is with that!!
3. The subframe looks twisted

ahh cheers for the advice.the subframe isnt twisted its actually that the seat unit was just placed on top and not screwed in or alligned... agreed the the stickers are naff the paint although not the nicest scheme is actually a decent job...

I think I'm the only one on the forums who had one of these when they were brand-new in 1990. It was an absolutely stonking little bike, handled like a dream and did 120mph (with my chin on the tank). £500? A steal.

im glad everyone seems to think its a decent deal.i wanted one of these a few years ago and couldnt find an affordable one and ended up getting a rc36 vfr 750 and thats an amazing all rounder but still loved the look of the rc30.deffo needs to be red white and blue though

[TomGT]

a runner with an MOT for £500? Must be something seriously wrong, they go for £2k plus in the current market, either you were really lucky and got a great deal, or it's about to grenade on you.

just gonna leave this here:

to be honest i think its a mixture of luck and the guy selling it owning it for so long that he had no idea what they can be worth in the right condition.he was comparing prices to small cbrs andother 400s or smaller.the nc30 has got abit more of a fan base than the others i guess.i was the first person he asked aswell so there was no chance for the price to go up
