Any Mint (OEM) NC29s out there?

Post by Davez29 » Tue Jun 09, 2009 4:55 pm

Hi, on my travels around the forums and the classifieds I see many OEM VFR/RVFs and Triarms that look really mint, many show quality. But it seems the NC29 lacks this quality. sure many have been done up in various guises with lots of trick parts and do look really nice but I like the pure OEM look and find these sort of bikes seem as rare as hens teeth, even my own bike is far from perfect. There is a mate of mine who seems to pull these sort of bikes out of thin air and all his bikes past and present have this just came out of the factory look, so Im sure there must be some about.

So, do you know of one, perhaps sitting in your heated garage only brought out if there's blue skies and 30 degree heat? If so get a nice pic up, would love to see one, or two.

I've only bought the one NC29, before that 2 NC23's, all from Fastline (ex B&M imports Preston) and all were near mint, although the 29 may not have been OEM it was the best of the lot-

Here's the other half's "new" bike. Completely stock apart from the rear sets. Completely mint bar one or two very small and almost unnoticeable marks.
