CBR400R vs VFR400 NC24? Best race bike?

**Quasievil** · 4th February 2005, 08:44

Well now Im looking at a 1992 GSXR400, its done 38000kms and is in good condition, TS tells me Mitch races one and it goes okay, ie she keeps up well.
I am interested in your opinions on this kind of machine

I love the aggressive racing sound of the 360 crank

360 all the way

I have a nc24.Installed race tech gold valves and springs, which made a huge difference to the handling.Also fitted braided brake lines to the front which made a big improvment.It is so sweet to ride fast now. I think a well set up nc24 is a very capable bike. Good luck with your decision.

Ah bro, this question was asked 6yrs ago, if Bret hasn't made his decision yet I don't think any amount of luck will help him.

Really , i didnt know that ya bastard . Didnt help ya ... your still a slow prick.

And for the masses ,
VFR is good if you have lots of $$$$$ and mechanical know how ,
CBR is good if you have a smaller budget and just by 450ing it its better and cheaper than a VFR.

I have built both and i prefer the CBR to ride as well .
