Valuation of 1987 VFR400 NC24

Hi,

Trying to get a valuation of the above bike. In original Rothmans paint,fully restored.36000 miles not km.12 months tax and 8 months mot.Unforunately no piccies.

Without pics it's difficult. At a guess, I'd say £600 MAX on a good day, PROVIDING!!!!! the exhaust collector and rear headers have been swapped out for stainless.

It`s in excellent condition, not mint. Had been stood for a long time pre restoration. Then done up,fully serviced etc. Appreciate the advice particularly re the exhaust collector and headers.

Unfortuanlty the NC24 doesn't fetch a lot of money as it's less desirable to the NC30, there are less parts avilable and the bike's overal less sporty than the 30. (suspension / tyres / brakes and chassis)

Still a nice run about, for reference I'd say around 5-650 depending on how it all is.

There are plenty of daydreamers on ebay well over 1000 but you can get a decent NC30 for that much and they seem to be targetting unsuspecting victims.

Few people on here have bought them for less than 200 quid with a bit of work needing doing, I think one guy swapped an old laptop.

The most expensive one i've ever seen sell for was 1200gbp and that was a fresh Japanese import with 9000k on the clock and was like showroom condition, the exhaust still had all the gold finish on it (most have been polished off), no rust anywhere and original toolkit, manual and a full service (inlcuding chain / sprockets / tyres and new pads and seals front / rear and coolant)

They tend to fetch about half as much as an NC30, an average nc30 is about 1200gbp, hence the 600 figure.

Cheers. You`ve helped alot.Yes just noticed that a local dealer is selling a nc 30 with 30000 miles for 2 grand

Some are daydreamers.. if it's a UK NC30 then maybe (they were made in much smaller numbers for the UK Market)

The going rate seems to be between 800 - 1500 for a half decent NC30.

A fcuked up old Toshiba laptop with only 40GB HDD, Windows XP SP1, 256MB RAM, battery life of about 3 minutes when it was warm
