Possible new bike

[shereen]

Saw this and fell in love instantly...... However, They guy has it listed as an NC30 bu it is on an N plate registered in 2005. He also lists the model year as 2005? Now am I right in thinking that if the model year is 2005, then this cannot be an NC30 but would actually be an NC35. I have spoken to the guy selling it and he knows shit all about bikes.

EDIT: I cant tell by the pictures if it has USD forks and the guy didnt know , but even if it has the bike has got TFX suspension which could have included USD forks.

If it is a 35 then it is worth £3k IMO, but if it is a 30 I wont be paying that much for it.

Its not worth that money in a month of sundays.

However, it could well be a 1995 NC30. the NC30 was still constructed in parallel with the NC35 until the late '90s. It could also be something to do with the import process, as I have seen early bikes on late plates because they were given a registration from the year of import rather than the year of manufacturer.

If it is an NC35, then its worth even less because they are less powerful than the NC30. The only reason that people will want one is for the NC35 look which has gone.

Shereen, if you pay more than £2k for that then you're a chump. I don't think its even worth that IMO. If it were me, I'd pay £1800 tops and I might still feel like I'd been done.

Some idiot will probably pay it though...

Not upside down forks - you can see it going straight up from the spindle.

Also, as the photo's flat, the rear wheel looks to be bigger - the NC35 had a 17" rear I believe.

A lot of money for some cheap Asian plastic and some unknown suspension mods.

Bikes often end up with weird years after-import.

Definitely RWU forks, import bikes on logbooks...along with cars have odd dates.

My Supra was down as a 2004.. it is a 1994 model

I think it's very pretty. If you like it, go have a look. Yes it might be overpriced but if thats what you want and you know you will probably take a loss when you come to sell it, wtf.

Looks like a 'tarted' up NC30 to me too.
RWU forks and 18" rear wheel are dead give aways.

Seller says - "What do I need to say about this......"

Tyre condition, C&S condition, paperwork, paintwork, mileage, (gen or not), service history, etc, etc might be a start I suspect it's one of those bikes that catch your eye in the photos but look awful close up.

Its an old bike trying to look modern. Strip the plastic away and its still an old bike.

To be honest, your current 400 looks way better. If I was going to spend 3K on a 400 classic I would go for this one.

At least it looks like what it is.

I presumed Tyga, thus saying 'asian' rather than 'Chinese' (which mostly just do replicas of stock suspension.)

Not heard of TFX suspension myself.
But even with a known-to-be-good brand, without knowing what's been done, you could easily end up with the bike worse than standard.
It could be as simple as a different spring on one end, which may not even be right for you. Or, it could be complete fresh fork internals and a top of the range replacement shock.

You have got to be shitting me?

Everything about that "thing" screams "I bite".

It's a pure bred, 10 carat dog, expecially at that money.

Ever considered why the Tyga gear is on there? Either the previous owner had glaucoma or the bike has been upside down and shed all it's original bodywork.

The slightly autistic feel of the advert doesn't help either. Somehow if you'd "built" a bike like that you'd know a bit more about it methinks.
