RVF400 NC35 for sale - Enthusiasts will appreciate this sweet offer!

**Stevie524** · 4th December 2013, 20:25

Summary of Ownership:
A real classic that has been my pride and joy since 98 and if my memory serves me correctly then only one owner prior to that. Can't believe that this pocket rocket has been added to LAMS but I've checked with NZTA and sure enough there it is!!

Garaged during the winter but kept in good condition over the years. In usual fashion, its had a quick visit to the workshop, has a full WOF and is good to go just in time for the summer. Always been reluctant to sell but this bike deserves to see more of NZ than I can offer it. Due to busy work and volunteer commitments then I'm only kidding myself if I keep it, serving the bike and any RVF enthusiast a real unjustice of a great partnership.
Manufactured 96, registered in UK(98) and NZ(07), very low mileage.
New tyres, battery, forks, WOF. Rego on hold at mo
$5500 ONO and its yours

Has usual wear & tear for a bike of this age but was given a deserved fairing makeover approx 5yrs ago. Has travelled less than 1000km since then, usually just a quick ride out or enough to keep it ticking over for those summer months

A few more items that may interest a few.....Scorpion exhaust, spare matching painted seat cowling, Haynes Manual and full set of panniers that have never been put to use (less the sale tags being removed the panniers are as new as they get)

If you are interested then PM me before the week is through. If not, the local dealer is in with a chance of getting a very sweet deal unless I chicken out based upon principles of wanting the right person to own this bike at the right price (pse don't make me take the option with the dealer as they will only charge some poor victim significantly over and above what they paid for it - thats just criminal knowing that a few on here have asked several times if anyone has this beauty for sale)

Can't fault u for trying :-) but believe me, I would not be giving this one up if I thought I had time to get out there more often

Mate, where were you 4 months ago

At that price, the bikes a steal. Shouldn't take you too long to sell it. I'm extremely jealous of whomever gets their hands on it.

Best of luck with the sale! Don't accept a penny less for it!

As Glowerss says, that bike is to cheap, dont lower the value of these collectables, starting to get rare, have a look at what they are selling for in Australia and the rest of the world.
KEEP IT MATE !!!!!!!

Why do these things come along when I am under very strict orders about spending money.

**Icemaestro** · 5th December 2013, 10:56

I agree! swap for a battered nc30?haha.
Is the rear OEM? I assume it's off a 94 colour scheme?

**hornetakl** · 5th December 2013, 11:06

Aw god damn, I first saw one of these when I was in melbourne a few years ago and fell in love. if I could come up with the cash i'd be so keen.

Sorree, it always been as it is as far as I know....If there is a difference I've never noticed. The before and after photos of the fairing change in approx 08 are pretty similiar so if there was a swap it was done before my team. I've just gone through some old photos and managed to find one from the original sale to me...The showroom photo shows a plain white rear colour scheme but by the time they handed the bike over to me it had the colour scheme it has to today - I never even noticed til now! Is that what you mean? If it was a swap before I become owner then I'm pretty happy that they did:-)

Folks - you really should try an offer via PM!! Bottom line, I'm not getting out there on it and as much as it pains me I really have to let it go. As if I did not feel guilty enuf thinkin bout given it up....u guys are just not helpin!!

I reckon someone (hopefully not the dealer) is going to be pretty wrapped if they clinch the deal
