The Honda NC35

MikeSP1 · 02-21-2009, 03:16 PM

It's a 400cc version of "The Awesome" aka Honda RC45. Anyone know any particulars about it? I'm just curious right now, but in a deadly serious kinda way

With the low speed limits in Japan, my RC51 would never legally see 3rd gear (possibly not even 2nd on work days). So I'm seriously thinking about breaking her down into main assemblies and sending her back to the states where I'll reassemble her the next time I'm there. But I'm looking for something a little more practical for Japan than a 1000cc Vtwin.

Awesome bike! If you can possibly get it back to the states it'll be worth big bucks. Oh and if you bring it back to the states can I PLEASE take it for a spin? Or at the very least get a picture of myself on it?

The NC30 is definitely on my wish list! I would love to have one.

When something comes around that I want to do, there is always a way. If I ever make it back to the states, then I'll be in touch. But before I make any promises, I need to track one down first (oh wait, I gotta get back to Japan before that).

Mine too

I'd love to pick either a NC30 or NC35. Hell, I'll probably try to find both. But what'd be tits is finding a RC30

(never in my life am I gonna see an RC45)

There's probably no way he'd ever sell that little thing, but gorgeous it is.

I've got the RC51, a VTX1300, and I weigh a grand total of 135. I'm a midget astride monsters. And the monster I've got in Japan has some VERY long legs, I feel very sorry for the guys that brought their Hayabusas here. If I'm afraid of not getting out of second, I can't imagine that beast getting out of second.

But I'd like to smaller bike out here that I'm not gonna need to worry about. Something that can do 40kph without a care and can do 200 kph without a problem, hence my search for the NC30/35. But what I'm curious about now is something that I need to keep an eye out for i.e. "buyers beware"

If I can find a 250rr, then I'll see about picking it up. But the RC and NCs come first.

A buddy of mine has a CBR 400rr and that thing is awesome...tiny but very sweet.

I've ridden both the RC-30 and 45...

Who wants to touch me ?

I said... WHO WANTS TO EFFIN TOUCH ME?

Ok .. sorry ..

The RC30 was at MidOhio back when i was... oh god.. like 14. Got to do a parade lap on the track on it... during which i was yelled at for excessive parade lap speeds.. I have a bad habit of that. I thnk I've been fussed at by someone after every parade lap i've ever ridden on. Except the ones when I was a little kid on my YSR.

both are hellaciously fun bikes. very smooth power delivery and extremely nimble. I'm not a van of the Vs... but I'd own either in a heartbeat
