NC24/NC30
So i'm looking to buy a VFR400.
The NC30 seems to be most popular for parts so i'm going for one of those...
The dealerships near me only had a NC24 so I went to sit on it and the size felt good.
The question I have is:
Is the NC24 and the NC30 the same physical size?
Thanks in advance!

Re: NC24/NC30
Pretty much. The 24 is more comfortable but parts are extremely difficult to obtain. Also, value. A lot of dealers will try and sell a 24 for the price of a 30. Realistically, even a mint 24 is not going to be worth more than about £800 in a private sale (a real shame IMO because they are a cracking bike and I do prefer them over the 30/35). You can pick up a decent 30 for between £1200 and £1500, the sort of price tag I've seen on 24s at dealers.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Re: NC24/NC30
I own both, there isnt a great deal between them in terms of actual size. Rididing position might be a little different in terms of clip-ons and foot pegs and is subective to which is better, I find the 30 provides a nicer riding position but both can get a bit uncomfortable after a long ride (as will any sports-style bike)Columbo wrote:So i'm looking to buy a VFR400.

NC24 seat height is 770mm and the NC30 is 755mm I think, so pretty much the same.
Seats are around the same size too, with perhaps the NC30 being slightly smaller but not by a great deal.
