1984 Honda VFR400 NC30 review from United Kingdom
"Brilliant"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
When I purchased this bike it had been standing in a garage for 12 months and started occasionally. This had caused a problem with the carbs, which required re-callabration. It was difficult to find someone to do this without charging a fortune.
General comments?
This bike is one of the few official UK imports, and as such has been kept in excellent condition.
I would never be parted with this bike as it is as much fun as when I first purchased it.
The handling is very forgiving, and although it struggles on the straights to keep up with the other bikes, there are very few that can touch it in the bends.
