Isn't that speedo rather inadequate?

Nice bike.

here is the fun bit though, the speedo goes to 180kph, about 120, but the needle goes to about the nikon seiki bit, and a bit beyond, if its not restricted, which not alot of them are

very nice bike, but i am a little biased towards v4's

v4
will

About 125mph. I think they are good for 130-135 full power but I may be wrong. All engines that come in V's are good.

Nice bike mate Thumbs Up

No it isnt 125mph.

there are 1.6 kilometres in a mile. SO...divide 187 by 1.6 and, hey presto, your true speed.

116 mph??


Sean...iv already told you what i think of you and that bike Laughing

Very nice Sean, i was suprised at the fact it has no rev limiter though, it's quite worrying. Confused

Very good condition and lots of receipts, you got a bargain mate, just keep it mint.

A £600 service would probably only increase the value sort of £100, if anything. Not really how it works most of the time... You'll never get the money back, which you spent on it.

Depends on what you define "low" though mate innit?

Plus it depends on where you advertise it as well. Ebay usually sells it for example...

180km/h is 110mph just need to clarify that. I would be very surprised if the VFR does hit a true 130. Seems too good to be true.

Anyway, nice bike, best colour scheme out for it.

What gearing are you running? 116mph in 5th should be more like 12,500.

Might be worth checking, as if you're running that kind of road/engine speed ratio, sounds like the bike's been over geared. Returning it to standard will decrease the road/engine speed ration and give you better acceleration. Plus the speedo on NC30s is driven off the front sprocket, so if the gearing's been changed, it's likely that the speedo has become inaccurate.

From memory I think standard gearing is 15/40.

Nice bike btw, see you on 400gb Thumbs Up

what pisses me off......i have a cleaner bike with a few more miles on but with a £600 service from G france....whole engine checked out and cleaned.......everything stripped and cleaned.........
new tyres and sprockets
All original fairings with rick oliver rear sets and braided hoses...put it up for sell cheap and no fucking weasel buys it?

WHY GOD WHY? Crying or Very sad

This bike is immaculate, has one tiny little scratch on the right hand side, the rest is mint, everythings clean and polished, shitloads of paperwork and receipts, it's had the valves done...Don't see how you can have a cleaner bike unless yours doesn't have one tiny scratch on it. Thumbs Up
