Following the arrival of the VFR750R (RC30) race replica in the late 1980s, it was only to be expected that some of its style and technology would rub off on Honda's smaller V4s. The first of these was the NC21, which was followed by the NC24 with RC30-style single-sided swinging arm. Restricted to a maximum of 59PS (59.8bhp) for the Japanese market, these models were not officially imported into the UK, unlike the successor NC30 which boasted a specification not far short of the RC's. Testing a full power (62.5bhp) UK model, Bike magazine recorded a top speed into a strong headwind of 122.7mph, 1,000 revs short of the red line, indicating a probable maximum in excess of 130. Boasting RC30 looks and equally exemplary build quality, but at a fraction of the cost, the NC30 is one of the most collectible classics of the 1990s. Purchased from Hilltop Service Station of Horndean, Hampshire, this 'grey import' NC30 was first registered in the UK on 1st December 1996 and has been used by Bob Light as a practice bike to get to know new circuits. The first MoT of 1996-1997 records the odometer reading as 502 kilometres, while the current reading is 3,597km. The VFR was last taxed in August 2008 and will require re-commissioning before further use. Offered with a V5C; part old V5; expired MoTs, etc.
