just times are hard and i need the cash....(that old chestnut)
i have been on this forum a while now and was on the old one also.....
i had the nc30 before i joined the old one and it was minted,all cosmetics were sound just a few blemishes and one small crack on the seat unit that was barely visible....she was a r3n late model with i think 21,000 miles on the clock.she had a black screen,full ethos exhaust system,wheels powdercoated white,she was pretty much standard other than that but in very good condition,all for £1300 from a mate.....she looked like this
this was photo was taken roughly two months after i got her and the only problems i had then was reg/rec problems.......
but then it went downhill fast,it fell over twice in the terrible weather which caused some damage.....after replacing the parts,screen,mirrors and indicators it fell over again within a week......i was pissed off big time.i then had an off,not very fast 40mph but the damage again was quite bad.
so the bike the now has d/b screen,renthal grips,new mirrors,new fairing stay etc but the damage to the fairings outweighs the good stuff.
it now looks like this
the first two pics are before i replaced the mirrors and are before the new screen but it is pretty much how it looks now,maybe slightly better now...the last one in the distance is with the d/b screen before it blew over again and i had to buy all the same stuff again
since buying the bike i have done the valve clearances cleaned and balanced the carbs and it was dyno'd@61.5bhp,and the only real other thing i did was replace the lower rad with a rick o item,which everyone seems to want lol!!!
i also bought a cbr400 nc23 in october for £500 which needs an exhaust and the float bowl gaskets done,it starts brilliantly and idles great so i thought it was a steal........
i also have a hyosung gt125r which i had before the nc30 but i hate it to bits,so we won't be talking about that much
