What next, life after NC30
As I have been riding for over 50 years now without a break on British, Italian and Japanese bikes, but favoured RC and NC above all others over the last 20 years, what is the best way forward now.
I still have 4 of my 5 RC30s and a UK NC30 and NC35 that I will keep, but a low, light bike may be the way forward, classic Italian or Japanese perhaps.

If I had the money, I'd get a Triumph.

Re: What next, life after NC30
Maybe the old Thunderbird Sport? Command big money for what they are but are only going up in price and a man who has 4x RC30s probably isn't short a few bob.Man_Named_Dave wrote:If I had the money, I'd get a Triumph.
I wouldn't want another T5 though, I got a disproportionate amount of grief off mine in the year I had it. Then sold it to a chap who soon after got a £400 service bill (EFi and you also need a special tool for the valves and another for the headstock so home servicing is tricky) and told on top of that, that it would also bee rear linkage bearings all replaced. Got out just in time and won't have another any time soon, TVM.

You may well think that is very funny, but the C50, 70 , 90, is the best bike Honda or anyone else ever made.Deviant400 wrote:you can have my classic honda c90 if you like , id gladly swap it for one of your rc30's

Dave, did you start riding at age 6 then?

I know it's an odd choice but what about a Monster? Light, low, the s2r or s4r have some poke or an early 700? If you stay with Japanese you'll have to stick with Honda and you've surely got enough of those????
