How much were NC30/NC35's initally sold for?

[silentRVF]

As above. I'm curious as to how much these bikes were originally sold for. Also, where was the VFR initially sold? I'm pretty sure the RVF was only sold in Japan, right?

Cheers

The VFR400 didn't arriver officially in the UK until 1989 in NC30 guise. All NC21s and NC24s are imports. As for price, add at least a grand on to the price of a 600 sports from the time.

He's in Austrailia though.

I'm pretty sure the RVF was a JDM machine only, same as the NC21/24.

The NC30 had a locallised version for 3 years in the UK...

It cost new (£5899 gbp!) thats nearly $10,000aud.. and was more expensive than some of the 1000cc supersports bikes.

The UK bikes were available from 91 - 93'ish.

In Australia all NC30s and NC35s are grey imports.

As for the price - compare the build quality to other production Hondas of the NC30 era and you get an idea.
