I was thinking the Hurricane was the Yank release of the later NC23's?

'Hurricane' appears on the tail fairings of all J model tri-arms, but not K models.

K model has the restricted Blue CDI, different colour schemes and other small differences such as carb jet sizes, length of air inlet tubes around the front fairing etc

When you think about it what a stonking little bike the NC23 was at the time, I would be happy to have a new one now ;) ...

You can call it a BabyBlade if you want, since BabyBlade means 'Baby Fireblade'. Nothing has ever officially been called a 'BabyBlade'.

Depends on the model of NC23.
The RRj was the original babyblade. Twin headlights mirrored that of the 1st real blades.
RRk was geared differently, then came the gulls
