Hello ?

Caveat Emptor ...Need I say more ?

So far as I can tell, it has been garaged since forever, the only scratch's on it are the ones I put on it last friday.. Mechanically it sounds like a new sewing machine..

Mean..

Do you plan on keeping it long term ? I can't wait to get this fucker paid off and spend some dollars on it.. I never had a boy racer car at high school, a few years up the road and I can't wait to bling it up good..

Yep, I bought it and kept it in the garage while I got a big jug of cash and poured into it

Some tasty looking bits from http://www.jap4performance.com/hondaNC30.html

Its all out of my price league at this stage, but hopefully when I gets the moneys they'll still be selling the bits..

Why the fook would you want those fairings?

They're hideous, compared to the radiant, elegant beauty that is a tidy pair of stock NC30 fairings.

that's just the TYGA fairing kit...

having seen it in the flesh, it looks OK except the headlights are a sin against all motorcycles, and why would go and you ruin what is already perfection?

with some new paint (again, why would you?) the old fairings look like new anyway - and tyga makes kits that still keep the original shape
