Thanks a lot for the links mate. I've been doing a lot of looking into this as I am so excited! What kind of MPG should I be expecting to get for Banzai country and slow town riding? My ZZR used to do 42 average but is down to 25sh now :(.

I'm just preying to god that these nice bikes still pop up in 3 weeks time when I can buy one!

I've had both and the CBR400 seems a little more practical for the street. Especially if your stopping and going a lot. My NC29 got off the line better where as my NC30 needs more clutch finesse. With that said I still do prefer the NC30. I also really love my 09 CBR600. It's very refined. It's not 20 years old so I can ride it more than I need to tinkering on it.

NC's still sound cooler though.

Well i can get from preston to squires cafe in leed's which is 82.2m, do some fast country road riding around 10m, then get around 3 3rd's way home around 60m before having to switch to reserve so avg 152.2m there abouts.
If i do sensible riding all the time i can make a full tank last 3-4 weeks just going shops, small ride outs etc
