For you, and me now, then yes.Smev wrote:
the NC's and RC's you own are perect.
Fun, small, light, reliable, no need for kicking them over like 2-smokes, handle well, comfortable if only ridden for short distances, etc etc .............
I can't think of a bike that would be better!!!
I am looking at what to ride in a few years, [70 is looming], best sort something out now, make a choice then start looking/renovating.
Dave.

Thanks,CRM wrote:Take a look at my 350 desmo at Stafford which will be on the ducat owners club stand. They are a good bunch and will make anyone feel welcome unlike some stands!
That reminds me, a friend in the next village had his Desmo on the stand last year and was out riding it Sunday.
I will speak to him.
I plan to be at Stafford for 3 days.
Dave.

Haha yeah we posted the same bike :DCammo wrote:A new efi CB400 (nc42) is pretty high up on my wanted list, being a lightweight well-mannered steed.
Not sure if they're sold new in the uk, I'm sure some greys will be along sometime soon!
Edit: Dang! Neo beat me to the naked 400 suggestion. Great minds and all that....
The ZXR400 is great (Drew's bike with the FCR's sounds great.. lovely ticking sound) plus it's reliable and comfy.
That Super'Bol-dor (CB400) is awesome.. I might buy one over here sometime, even though I have a full bike liecnece a modern EFI 400 is goign to be more than enough for what I use it for... :D

Re: What next, life after NC30
Now we are getting closer, that's what I used to ride, only British.
My 350K4 was sold to a racer [The Imberg father and son] who converted and raced it in production and open class.
I did some work on a friend's Read Titan CB77 a while ago.
Dave. From the sublime to the rediculous.

Re: What next, life after NC30
The older bikes are too much hassle compared to a modern bike.
Plus most of the new modern EFI / Vtec small bikes are light weight and super reliable.
