CBR400RR NC23 Bluefox HRC Race Bike - warning Pic Heavy!

[Yakama]

I have recently purchased this bike from Japan with the help of Moriwaki man. Now I have some good pics of it I thought I would share it with you all. Hopefully Neosophist will be along soon as he has seen it in the flesh and ridden it I think.

As far as I know its a genuine TTF3 race bike by Bluefox honda. This was the team that ran the AN RC30's and RC45's and also the Mister Donut NSR500, like these:




The bike was one of two originally but is the only one remaining. The Bike has Suzuka scrutineering stickers on it for 90,91 & 92. The bike has HRC magteks, HRC shock, some very special carbs, billet triple clamps etc etc

Now that is something special

Cheers, I saw it for sale and knew I HAD to have it. Its an awesome looking bike. Drew has said its incredibly light and is "like no other bike I have ridden"

Wow, very cool and not something you see everyday. That ZXR SP is very nice too, a mate of mine used to have one in the early 90's.

[Yakama]

Yeah thats not mine sadly but wouldnt mind one of them too

[Martin]

You're really starting to piss me off now!

[Yakama]

Sorry

I do love my NC23's though and getting this one is the icing on the cake! Very special bike!

It is lovely mate. I don't think they're the prettiest bike but this one really is special. You're not going to clean it up too much are you as I think that's part of the charm, that and the fact that it's actually been there. Very very cool indeed.

Not being that familiar with NC23's what's the significance of the welds in these 2 pics?
