hi all

have myself an nc30 and nc35, but considering getting myself an nc29 and realize i dont actually know anything about them. have read bits and pieces about the history, but tells me nothing about owning one. absolutely adore how they look and love some of the original paintschemes.
i'm just wandering, what are they like to live with, availability of standard parts of all descriptions, aswell as prices you would expect to pay. is there anything that would go kerplatt with it, that would be like hens teeth to find to keep it going.

thanks for reading
david

Usual rectifier issues just like the NC's but saying that im still on the original rectifier.
Living with it, well everytime i pull the cover back before i get the bike out the grins start but i have spent a bit of cash on it and it sounds and rides very well.
Just remember that its an inline four so may not be quite what your used to with the v fours.
Parts availability i havent found to a problem.

i have found with NC29 there isnt as many trick bits available at the sort of prices you are used to for NC3X
I love my CBR400 - 2 years trouble free motoring.
