After months of fannying about I have finally made up my mind to buy the bike which I have been staring at as a poster on my garage wall for the past 5 years - an nc30.

I have got a £1500 budget and will be looking for something which is as mechanically sound as possible. Tatty bodywork and tired suspension doesn't bother me and I have started reading online buyers guides and back issues of ride and bike magazine so I get a good idea of what to look for...

This won't be my main bike so I will be looking to take it from its existing condition to a well cared for summer and track machine.

Inspired choice! The more bikes get fitted with emissions rubbish and electronics the more happy I am Honda made these special little gems

wise choice one is never enough though!! your in the right place for info.

A good choice.

Excellent, nice choice. Post some pix when you get chance..
