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 mini race-reps 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. Boasting RC30 looks and equally exemplary build quality, but at a fraction of the cost, the smaller NCs are among the most collectible classics of recent times.
First registered in the UK on 16th September 1994, this VFR was restored during 2017/2018, including new panels custom painted in red/white/blue. Other works carried out included powder-coating or painting the frame, cycle parts, wheels, engine cases, etc; cleaning and resealing the fuel tank; cleaning the engine and carburettors and setting up the latter; polishing the brightwork; assembling the under-seat tool kit; and fitting new OE handlebar grips. Departures from factory specification include the mirrors, after-market screen and braided steel brake hoses, while the machine also has the optional rear wheel hub-nut cover. It last ran in August 2024. Offered with a V5C document.
