Re: NC24 what to look for when buying?
collector box on the exhaustrot out rcv4 on here makes a stainless replacement for around £300, electrical system mainly the reg/rec can be iffy but an r6 unit can solve the problem
they arnt as refind as the nc30 bit soft on the suspension and they are never going to be worth as much as the nc30 either but engines are bullet proof and they are great fun little bikes to ride.

Re: NC24 what to look for when buying?
As above really.. collectorbox is the killer.. even an aftermarket replacement (RCV4) you have to take the engine out of the bike to change it.
Suspension and brakes arnt as good as the NC30 and the narrower tyres make it difficult to fit really grippy stuff if your wanting to track day it.
Not worth half as much as an NC30 so really shop around.. bearings and other parts are expensive and can be difficult to find.

How cheap is it?? They are cool bikes but can be money pit and a total ballache.. V4 for the win!
