There's nothing wrong with the NC30 frame!

Always room for improvement, even if it's the same geometry with just added adjustability.

Tbh I've just always wanted a special frame

The ones we've done are more vintage than the NC30, more '70s to early '80s GS, GSX, Z and CB style frames. I've considered modding my FJ frame to improve it and stiffen it a little as it's just on the crossover period when the big companies started to realise there was more to it than just having powerful engine. Personally, I don't think there's much wrong with the NC30 frame / geometry, especially when the bike is setup correctly for the rider. The only bike that I've ridden in anger that was better than my Honda was a '10 reg Daytona 675.. I'd die or get banned..

Totally agree

With decent suspension upgrades it's one of the best handling track bikes I've ridden

Just needs another 20 bhp :grin:
