VFR400 NC30 1989
Winter bargain, may part exchange up or down, classic/ retro car or bike.
Mot’d for a year with no advisories. Literally just had a big service last month (October) at cost of £750 inc valve clearances re-shimmed, carbs rebuilt and properly setup/ balanced, plugs, all fluids and filters changed, charging system tested and all working as it should, photos and videos taken during the service.
32, 800km or 20k miles and would appear correct looking at MOT history. Rides very well, pulls cleanly right through the rev range with no surging or flat spots and handles great, still a quick little 400 even by todays standards. Imported in 96, HPI clear/ not categorised, has come from long term private ownership of 10 years with regular servicing and mots. 6 former keepers.
Not a mint bike by any means but also not a dog like a lot of them, original Honda fairings NOT Chinese copies with plenty of ‘patina’ various small marks, cracks and repairs associated with 35 years of use and possibly what you’d expect for an unrestored and used VFR400.
It’d be easy to spend £250-£350 on a set of aftermarket fairings and tank cover if you wanted to change the look of it, pick a colour scheme of your choice (I'd rather leave it as is looking honest) It’s also perfectly useable and presentable as is, if you like a bike with a bit of age/ character/ honesty to it, it’s got that. If you were to have PDR on the two small dents on the tank and a maybe change the R/ H lower fairing it would make it very respectable and cost very little. It's also the right year and model if you wanted to do the desirable Type 1 colour scheme, which would certainly boost its value.
See photos with side fairings removed showing frame rails and engine cases all in very good order, exhaust downpipes are also very good, inside fuel tank looks like new, tyres are a little older but still in good condition and I’ve been using it the past few weeks without issue. In the last couple of years it’s also had a new radiator with a complete set of upgraded hoses fitted and the fork seals replaced. Original exhaust and indicators, there's a reasonable amount of paperwork, old mots, Invoices and spare keys with it also.
Please look through the photos carefully and obviously have a good read of the description before making an enquiry, that being said I’m happy to discuss in detail over the phone with any genuine buyers as I have owned and worked on a lot of 90’s Hondas over the years so can potentially be more accurate than most.
To sum up, It’s an honest NC30, better than most at this price point and ready to enjoy as is. Any inspection welcome, sold as is, sensibly priced with viewing highly recommended. Based in Aberdeen 15 mins from both train station and airport. Delivery possible throughout the UK. Trade seller, Very near offer or part exchange considered, no time wasters or scammers please!
