CBR 400 RR

Just seen it on the bay:

Looks great, repsol colours, low-ish mileage.

Thought i'd chuck it in here because i used to have one, my first 'big' bike straight from passing my test at 17, restricted of course.... (not). Loved it, will get another some day as they're so much fun. IMO it's THE pocket rocket.

Any other 400RR fans here?

I'm a fan of the VFR400RR, not so much the CBR, V4's ftw

I like'em but watching the walk round vid he doesn't actually show you anything that's important & just wanders around showing you the plastics, I'd want to see the forks/frame/engine/underneath well everything tbh I mean why make a vid & not show everything ?

Yeah, they're good bikes but I feel that one in particular has been ruined. :eek:

They do sound much more impressive than the VFR, they're not as tiny as the VFR and they're far cheaper than a decent VFR.

Though the VFR does have more torque and is beautiful.

Anyway, forget Honda, the only 400 you need is this

Better looking and superior handling.

Id love an NC35 in the garage, but they look like a pit bike with me perched on top!

I had the NC29, 1991:

Loved the bike to pieces, so much fun. Extremely reliable and kept up with riders on 1000s around twisties... if you kept the rpm above 10k

I used to have an old '89 Tri arm in black & gold. Excellent bike engine wise, only let down by the usual honda voltage rectifier fault, oh and the brakes were crap

I've also owned a VFR, fantastic bike even if a little small
