Which model is the NC40?

I'm not really sure which bit you're saying is wrong. Are you saying
the RC30 wasn't a VFR and the RC45 wasn't an RFV?

IIRC the VFR400 just has a sensor in the speedo, tripped by a flag on the
needle. Trim off flag to derestrict the bike.

Champ, you're arguing about Hondas man, get a grip.

 

Thinking about it it's partly my fault for being a tad ambiguous. I
didn't mean *all* VFR750s are RC30s etc, if that's how anyone read it.
I meant the RC30 was a VFR (RJ, RK & RL), and the RC45 was an RFV.
Dunno if that helps or not.

 

Very true. I bet plenty of earlier VFR750 owners called their bikes
RC30s though...

Remind me where your turbo's stored again?

NP.

 

Unless he means RC40. In which case the beers are on him at the next
*OSM ;-)

 

Well, if it was Well Screwed Together...

You don't have to be nasty to him any more. He's fallen out with the
spud munching, kilt wearing surrender monkey, so he's back in favour.

 

I'm not being nasty, I'm simply alluding to much-loved ukrm meme.

 

So you reckon an NC40 will outlast a commando huh?

 

No, I reckon it'll allegedly hit 140mph.

 

Ooh Lozzo you bitch.

Pretty quick these modern hondas. More sense of achievement on a
commando though.

 

I can imagine. I never took the Trophy much over 130, but even at that
speed, it was a case of "Hmm, we're going quite fast, according to the
speedo". No thud and blunder.

 

Were you around at CIHAGM on sunday morning at EOSM?

My drippy SOBritter was much in demand. I might not be able to afford an
NC30, but at least I arrrived on a bike.

 

Would now be a good time to mention my ownership of an RC46?

Yerbut, he was asking about the NC29 just now...

Jap bikes of this ilk are restricted to 112mph. De-restricting any of
these brings the top speed up to a whopping 130-ish. The V4 machines
(NC30/35 or VFR/RVF, whaterver) are *marginally* faster by about four or
five mph.

NC29 is the "GullArm" CBR400RR (L, N & R variants). De-restricting
these is done by means of a "zap-box" wired into the tacho (I believe
it's just a resistor). Many of them are, as AndyR sez, already de-
restricted, but it's easy to tell; get it onto an appropriate bit of
road, wind it up and if it stops accelerating at 112mph, it's
restricted.

Fitting a de-restrictor unit takes about half an hour tops and they're
available from any number of Jap manufacturers; Stanley, Beet, Denso,
etc. They cost about £30 to buy here in the UK.

Speak to a greybike (and Honda, especially) specialist like Elliots
Motorcycles in Swindon or to importers like Bat or Boxhill (if they're
still trading...).

HTH.

Heh. Otherwise known as a VFR800.

You can have a go if you like - I owe you a favour for your
snowboarding advice. Probably have to wait til next year though as I've
just started stripping it for a service before putting it to bed for
winter.

 

140mph? He's prolly thinking of something well screwed together.
