WTB: V4 sports bike - NC30 or NC35, maybe cbr600 '02 or newer

[motorbyclist]

FOUND ONE


SO, some bastard nicked my NC30 (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=79613)

yet to find out how much i've got to spend, but i'm already looking at NC30 and NC35

An NC35 chassis with NC30 motor would be mint. mileage not a worry as long as the motor runs well.

Fibreglass fairing preferred*, no major missing parts, straight chassis/forks, working brakes and strong motor - i'm not looking for a major project here, and get very annoyed when I travel 100km to view a "mint" bike with gravel rash and only 3 working cylinders (may still buy, but tell me first or i won't buy on principle)

need this asap to get to uni - currently borrowing old man's bike and he's complaining his commute went from 30minutes+$20petrol to 90minutes+$150petrol a week

cheers


*when my bike got nicked i had just got all the gear together to repaint it and currently have 1.5 sets of plastic farings for NC30 plus two spare tanks

not sure if this is in your price or not but i have viewed this bike and the engine is fine, the Honda shop down here is selling it. It needs some new fairings possibly, triple clamp, and a few other bits and pieces. Would not be too hard of a project.

Let us know your budget dude--Ill see what I can fnd for ya

good engine? that's good to know

i've shelved that one for the time being as i can't go down to view any time soon:

as it's an NC35 i don't have any spares. i need to be able to ride it immediately, so hunting down parts for a relatively rare bike isn't going to work. i assume the forks damaged if rim/mudguard damged. repairable or not i can't tell till i see it. fairings aren't fitting properly so are the mounts/subframe intact? will it need compliance to get back on road?

i will as soon as i know myself

covered for $5k, dunno what i'll actually get due to cosmetic damage to my near new paintjob, then minus excess, then add a student's "savings" (available debt)

I think it would need compliance. The forks didnt look bent, but who knows.. could possibly be straightened. Not entirely sure about subframe etc. I remember one radiator mount was broken tho.

What did ya get au?

[motorbyclist]

oh, nothing much:whistle:

[mark247]

oh, nothing much:whistle:

How much did you pay for that??? You got it from Red Baron? Looking good, get some VFR carbies =P 53hp, ya need more =D

Easy tiger...some demons live in these:jerry:

I'm still trying to find a local engine..got bits & professional extras for miles out of NZD but the cost of import is merder:2guns:

Where you get this one?

My current was serviced & sold out of Red Baron ..Auck, and some mechanic in that shop had apparently put the rocker cover on backwards:doh:..well thats what I've been told by "the man" servicing her in Welli.

Funny.. mine is running at 70 bhp with VFR carbs & HRC carb kit + free flow exhaust..can't wait to get the ignitor in..when better engine :p

[TKDSKIP]

Nice looking bike. I was keeping an eye on that but a lil bit out of reach.
They have a great rep so heres hoping you have lots of fun together.
Well done that man.

70 at the wheel is a big jump for the mods you've done. if it is so well done but always a little bit sus on big claims.:Pokey:

isn't he still running an nc30 motor too?

I know a guy who has done everything, fancy pistons, skimmed head, blah blah blah, hes spent mega bucks on his nc30 and its 75hp. I have another mate who has done the exhaust, jets, and all that and he was only getting 66hp... 70hp sounds like A LOT. Got the dyno chart?

paid too bloody much:buggerd: but it should be worth it if no problems arise. only 24000 on the clock, everything works and everything is straight so just had to adjust the clutch cable and she's all sweet:)

yeah i can tell it's missing a few ponies compared to my old nc30, but it definitely corners better... feels more "flickable" and lighter to throw around. quite a few people tried to tell me it wouldn't be noticable but having ridden one i can say it IS a noticable improvement in handling and slight loss of power (it doesn't seems to "pull" as much)

thinking of/planning to develop a bolt-on motorcycle fuel injection kit for my 4th year mechatronics (engineering) project, so that should recover a reasonable bit of power while broadening the band and improving economy too. add some electronically actuated valves and i'll be pulling max power throughout the rev range without ever removing the heads:D


and now i've got some tyre choice for the 17" rear:woohoo:

another plus/minus is the tank; it fits my legs whereas the nc30 tank needed a bit more room for my knees to tuck in, but at the same time it's a bit square at the crotch end while the nc30 was just the perfect shape for my legs to wrap around.

[monkey99]

point taken.. I'll ask the shop for it..and was merely spouting the mech after they had done the dyno to trace "drainage into sump"..rings gone and it is a NC30 engine

Apart from the fact it drinks..spits oil like a yanky 4x4 she has heaps of power and pull with 140 needles and a very loud exhaust (totally worried about WOF on the dcb levels) I have the CDI which will free up about 500-700rpm and the loom to run this was sent today :)

Well done on the purchase MotoB. you will find RVFengine is lower on the HP thru midrange and the mounting points on the frame are further forward to help make changing riding line easier..but..softer.

This bike..although a while since i had my last nc30..just has much more "angry pull" ..I don't think this will make any sense 2 ya'll..but it does in my mind..& that is where I'm the fastest ;)
