What't wrong with this bike ?

should be painfully obvious to those that know the NC30 quite well.

Edit: and the fact they state that they were more expensive than RC30's when they were imported !? :lol:

colours clearly, as its had a paintjob and the cardinal sin of RC30 rep paint jobs - the lines dont line up (hard to achieve on the 400, shape of the 750 is quite different)
price - that's alot of money for something potentially so wrong

Nope keep going - i am sure there are a few keen eyed NC lovers on here who will spot this and do a bit of a double take before saying something like "Fookin el, that ain't right" under their breath

Apart from them calling it an RC30 in the listing, is there something amiss on the front end? I cant make out from the pic if a caliper bolt is missing.

lol, i just missed this gem in the description

"Initially when imported all those years ago these bikes were apparently more expensive than the RC30's such was the engineering excellence of these brilliant little bikes"

Yeah ok - whatever

Gear linkage upside down (for race pattern?)

Got me beat.

It's a UK bike but the last pic is a RC30 with a jap spec seat unit. The tank looks as if it hasn't got the flat part on the top of it but that's all I can spot.

lol oh yeah, so it is.
so thats my mistake then.
i thought how the hell can a UK spec bike on a 1990 be wearing a F reg plate.
It was infact me who failed to notice it was in fact a RC30 in the last picture.

wood for the trees's and all that. :oops:
