I had one of these in 1995 and I liked it but didn't realise how special it was. I let it go in 1996 for peanuts as we just had a little boy and was a bit struck for cash.
Hi Mark, question for you. Have you refinished the frame its hard to tell in the video. Im starting a restoration and my frame has a few small pits on the spars, just wandering if you did refinish it what method you used?. Many thanks in advance!.
Yes the frame was quite rough. The NC30 frame is originally anodised but its almost impossible to replicate than finish. In the end i removed all the anodising and sprayed a clear bare metal adhesion promoter and then a 2k satin clear on top. It's not 100% but its loads better than it was.
Fortunately, the original rads were in great working condition. I do have a contact for radiators though. The ones i used on my track NC30, check out the video. Message me through my Instagram page and I'll proved you with his details..
Wow 😍. Better than when it rolled off the production line.
Perfect bike
Amazing build from a top bloke
Thank you 😊
Just wow!

I had one too In 1994. Always regretted selling it so found this as a project a few years ago.
Lovely seeing this bike today, wonderful example of a VFR400!
Thanks, it's great to see the love for these amazing little bikes 😍
