  1. Makes me wonder as I’ve been thinking about an NC30.

    At 5’10” would I be too big?

    Love both BTW. My mate has an SP1 and it’s stunning.

  2. Awesome well done i want one too
     
  3. yep you would, unless you are 5ft 10 and super skinny with no bum it will be unpleasant to ride!

  6. Is that white tyre lettering trying to pass off as rim-tape?? ;)

    Still absolutely gorgeous...:upyeah:
     
  7. That’s me out on all fronts.

    Shame.

    Thanks.
     
  8. Nice NC30 too! I had one, a one owner low miles UK bike, that was stolen a few weeks after I bought it.
    When I got my first SP-1 new in 2000 (paid 10k for it) I also had an NC35. It was a real headache trying to decide which bike to ride to go out on :joy:
     
  9. If you fancy a 400 tho the ZXR is a great bike with bit more room. The NC is small but I never found it too small, 5’9 and over 20St when I had one briefly. The ZX was a better bike tho

  15. Yeah, I saw that I had confusion there...I new it was the big brother 750. Is it the 400 that has the NC designation?

    I remember it being considered the best handling motorbike available at the time.
     
  16. Yes. VFR400 NC30 I think. The 24 was can on other side??

  17. Very sorry. Could not read the tail on the original pic.
     
  18. Yep in the VFR range there were NC21, 24, 30, and 35 (although they renamed the 35 to RVF but it’s almost the same bike as the 30). I’ve had one of each of those except the 21.
