NC30 size question quicky

Post by badbannedbiker » Fri May 15, 2009 9:52 pm

How does the nc30 compare sizewise to an nc29? Is the 30 significantly smaller, has anybody owned both and can help answer this?
Cheers

I havnt owned both but ive seen both and the nc29 is slightly wider, due to it being a inline unfortunatly i cant say exactly how much tho.

29 is deffo for the shorter in the leg person.
30 is higher but actually a tad narrower between the legs but the extra height is still more than the 29
reach to the bars, hmm from what i can remember from when i owned a 29, i think the 30 is possibly a bit closer. but i could be wrong on this. not much in it either way. i find the 30 far more comfortable to ride but i am 5'10
29 felt a bit heavier to wheel around than my 30 if i recall too.

try one of each, V4 engine isnt for everyone if used to screamers before

I've owned mainly screamers but i did have a 30 for a while a few years ago. Can.t remember how it felt though but i'd like another if its not going to cripple me

I'm 6'1", and covered 185 miles last Sunday on my nc30 with only a 15 minute stop to have a mars bar, fuel up the bike and clean the death off my visor (I wanted to do more miles but had to get back to teach), but no issues of fatigue or pain admittedly my bike is slightly larger than most nc30s due to the modifications i've carried out but I went to the TT a few years back and covered 1500 miles in a week, this was before the bike was modified and again no problems whatsoever.
Need any used Nc30 parts? Want to fit a Ducati front end to your Nc30? If so give me a shout.

Hi riley,
Thats good to here, if i was to get a 30 i'd definetly be going down the same sort of route you have eg the mito tail forks rearsets etc althought a more subtle colour lol
