said i sign up and say hello on a few other bike sites and this looks good full of info

i had a cbr 250rr but decided to sell and buy the 400rr as its a sexy bike and the nicest of the 400's in my opinion

its a 97 even tho stopped making them in 96
has an activator end can and dyno jetted to 66bhp
tinted double bobble screen
40km on the clock
spotless bar one few mini scrapes where the bike fell over

plans are to get
-carbon led indicators
-tail tidy or customize mine
-powder coat wheels white
-rear seat cowl

thats about it

so what think?

Same colour sceme as mine and its also an 'M' reg but mine is 1994 on the log book which is about right for an 'M' reg bike. Have another look at your log book. Was it not imported into this country in 1997.
Leave the wheels black as you cant see the chain lube fling until you get home for a closer look.

Very nice, reminds me of my loverly jubbly bike but mine is L reg (94), although its a R model with a N bodywork, no idea when it got its bodywork but it has been the same colour since it was regged here in 1999, one of those grey areas owning a greybike..

the last pic with the seat cowl, who's is that bike?

Edit: Just a thought, when did they stop making NC29s? If you read this page they stopped around 2000/2001 http://www.honda.co.jp/pressroom/librar ... ndex6.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
