eBay 'specials' and other junk finds

A place to bang on about subjects close to your heart that affect us all as 400cc riders. general banter is rife, however rudeness and abuse seem to be the norm, If a bit wet round the ears best go play elsewhere. Auto pruning of items 31 days and older

Not what I normally spot, but this NC23 caught my eye. It looks quite tidy, but has the different frame enclosing fairings on it...

Very nice but one thing that really bugs me is when people insist on calling an NC23 a "Baby Blade". It's not a Baby Blade at all! It pre-dates the Fireblade by several years!
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.

Mate, take this as constructive critism,Your bike is way over priced i own an nc30 and have done a full refurb.Ive spent nigh on £2000+ to get it to an original ish standard, hell its even in this months BIKE mag.Get your self over to 400GB and youll find that your current bike would be worth no more than £500. Im not messaging to be a knob just so that you understand that why it probably wouldn't sell.The prices fluctuate but £500 a Big project, £800 for a small project, £1000 for an poor quality but running tax and tested bike, £1200 for good tax and tested bike and so on.Take it easy broRick
