Re: What next, life after NC30
900 Superlight Ducati, had mine 9 years, rides really nice, will be different to the V4 fir sure, it's comfortable, goes well for 84bhp and sounds lovely with race cans and airbox. Apppreciating classic. easy to service and work on, belts (around £50 to buy) should be done every 2 years but I whipe the side panel and belt covers off and inspect before the start of the season.

I had a 900ss but liked my 500 Pantah more as it was smoother and handled better.philfingers wrote:900 Superlight Ducati, had mine 9 years, rides really nice, will be different to the V4 fir sure, it's comfortable, goes well for 84bhp and sounds lovely with race cans and airbox.

Re: What next, life after NC30
I fancey a Ducati 750 F1 Santa Monica/laguna Seca/Montjuic variant, the V twins are so smooth, but a 350 Desmo looks interesting, any one ridden either one much.

You have my upmost respect young man,

never realised you were so young, keep on keeping on, im scared that when i reach 40 i wont be able to ride a bike due to my fooked back! im only 27 and its bolloxed NOW! how do you find the nc to ride now?
back to the topic in hand why not aim for something in the period you were born within, or the first bike or similar you owned, my first bike was a DT50 and id love another DT now, was a great bike!

A 1951 125 Bantam is too far fetched, but I did try that recently, a 1961 350 AJS, it was awful nothing at all like I remembered.
The NCs are pretty good, nice to ride and plenty fast enough, but I don't ride to far or long [a morning]
I am looking for alternatives now as 70 is fast approaching

Re: What next, life after NC30
Come on Dave, you should know there's only one bike you need to buy 

Jay Leno's Vincent
Nice little video of the one owned by Jay Leno to wet your appetite, who even admits it's one of his favourite motorcycles ever... and if you watch the video you'll see how many are in his 'garage' a-ha!
PS: Everyone should watch that video... if you don't want one after watching that video you must be made.
PPS: There very expensive.
