Oh my what a beautiful NC30, seeing these beauts in such good condition always pull on my heartstrings. I had so much fun with mine and as my first 'biggish' sports bike i'll always have found memories of them and still miss mine to this day.
So hey Motorcycle-Era now seems a good time to introduce myself.
Spent the past few years lurking here and at the old place. I reside in sunny England and have been riding on and off for the last nine years.
Bike history:
VFR 400 NC30 as pictured above. First bike I got after passing my DAS. Loved every minute of owning would love another one at some point.
After getting to grips with the NC30 I treated myself to a Honda VTR SP-1. Now this thing was an absolute stonker of a bike and with the twin Leo's sounded like rolling thunder coming down the road. Sold this bike then took a break from riding for about 4 years.
Not owning a bike for 4 years was a tough so I plucked up the courage to convince the wife that me owning another bike would be a good thing for her too(me being less stroppy every time the sun was out and bikes went wizing by when we're out). Enter the 954 FireBlade. Owned for 3 years the bike's an oldie but never fails to put a smile on my face and still looks good for a 15 year old bike. But like most things in life a change is never a bad thing.......
So after only owning Honda's it's time for a change this year. So from the beginning of March it's bye bye FireBlade and hello Yamaha R1. Went to view it last weekend and after much deliberation(not much) the deal has been completed. To say I'm over the moon is an understatement. I've loved the latest model R1 since it's introduction in 2015 so can't wait for the weather to improve and get some mileage on her.
So that's me in a nutshell.
