hey im new here just like to say hey :Punk:
im looking at getting a new bike preferably a 400, im really keen on the nc30 vfr400r. What does everyone think?. i inherited a 97 heritage softail classic (old boy) when my dad passed away but due to not being able to afford the insurance it lives with my mum in tauranga :angry: so yeah....having severe withdrawls :laugh:

Get the VFR, you won't regret it (unless it's a shitter). I have also highly enjoyed thrashing a CBR400RR. Can't really say I liked the ZXR400R, just didn't gel with it I guess.

how fast a rider are you? if you want a race bike get the zxr, sport - fzr, road - cbr/gsxr, grunter - gb/monster/sg350, nekid - fjr/cb....or you could just buy a vfr and have a v4 thing

NC30....NC30.....NC30

Only one worth considering imho.

The look better than the rest, they go better than the rest, and handle better than the rest.

If you can get over the fact its a Honda, then you are onto a winner :D

cough cough..... I know where there is a GSXR400SP going for a damn sight cheaper than a VFR. Not as tidy but runs real sweet after the good ole six month check up. Just through some new tyres on it, new reg and wof balanced carbs. Feels like a whole new bike.

It'll be yours for $1900-$2000.
