    Goodness. Nice little bike, but...

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-542639146.htm

    I don't follow NC35 pricing closely, but isn't that price a little ambitious? Or is that what they've gone too?

    You guys have no idea what you're looking at, did you not read that Honda have said it's the best condition RVF they've seen, and they made them.

    12k, no way that is aimed at the learner market. Its a collectible, but good luck find somebody who want to collect it at that price, unless the noobs have totaled the rest of them that is.

    Honda may or may not have fudged the stats on their bike which is why it's LAMS approved They claimed it had 53 BHP. Which magically went down from the 61 BHP of the VFR.

    Realistically it shouldn't be LAMS approved but envermind

    yea I was wondering why the VFR400 wasn't on the list.. Makes sense now.

    Although that trademe advert he is claiming 60hp..

    Collectible? It's not an RC45, I'm not sure why you'd want to collect one?

    I liked the part where he advertised it as being LAMS approved, compares power outputs to common learner 250s and then stated that buyer must pay cash and have a full license??

    hmm, 165kg dry? The fluids would have to add around 35kg to make that LAMS legal. Maybe he plans on adding 'fluids' of his own?

    I thought the power went down because of Japanese law changes?

    That may be why it's quoted as being lower. But every Dyno of one i've ever seen has it pushing out 50+ HP at the wheel and 61+ BHP.

    They're on the LAMS list, and so you can totally ride em legally. But they're way outside the power/weight ratio.

    It's a shame more manufacturers don't lie about their bikes. Could have all sorts of neat toys on the LAMS list
