Man, that would be a great bike for the GF! It doesn't say how many miles but looks like it's in good shape. That's an aftermarket hi-mount isn't it?

"Currently not running."
Could be a myriad of problems. But tempting... :) |
You're right there, Marm! It's like that FZR400 that I spotted a couple months ago here - looked great but . . . Guy wanted $2750 and was firm on his price until he was on his third go-around with the carbs. Could have been had for $2200 by the time he said Uncle.

parts aren't too expensive for those since they're so common in japan. I'm betting if he's honest about letting it sit, that it probably needs a battery charge, some carb cleaning, and new gas

Thats the nc24 i believe not as nice as the nc30/nc35 the baby brother to the legendary rc30/45.

If you have never ridden a nc30 i can tell you there an awesome machine so flickable and light, very quick for a 400 and the amount of corner speed you can carry is amazing, perfect for getting your knee down and embarrassing the bigger sports bike and the sound of a v4 is something else.Still an amazing bike today, styling,handling nuff said!!!!!!

I wouldn't suggest this model to anyone in the USA except a true enthusiast of the breed. It's very old, even parts for US spec models (750) are drying up or gone or are prohibitively expensive. It's cool tho'. I STUPIDLY passed on a rough nc35 that showed up at a local dealership. I'll probably never see another one down here again. |
Will do my marmaladeboy but in the meantime have a look on ebay.co.uk and search for nc30 theres usually a few on.

Import?
Does anyone know if it is possible to import a nc30/45 from europe/japan back to the USA and have it street legal to register/ride?
I'd love to have one. Were they ever produced by Honda for the U.S. market? If so, what years? |
