Side fairing broke where the seat joined, probably due to a bump or 2 in the road, or maybe jumps!
It seemed to overheat slightly, but the fan always kicked in before any damage was done.
The horn was temperamental.
18" rear tire isn't always easy to get at short notice (as most other tires are a standard 17").
There is not too much bad I can say about the NC30 as it was great fun for a first bike - fast, easy to insure, cool looking with the single sided swing arm, and in black and red.
The major beef I had with it was due to the entire side fairings having to be removed to change the battery - very laborious and some bolts were tricky.
I would definitely have one in my dream garage, but maybe it's the same with all first bikes?
I bought a 89'NC30 recently, great bike although not overly happy with its handling on small roundabouts. It's running on Bridgestones, can anyone recommend a tyre which provides a bit more adhesion to the road?
Incidentally my last bike was an 87' NC24, which I feel was a bit quicker despite the general consensus, albeit not as aestetically pleasing, although physically a bit bigger, which was a plus for me.
Regard's,

I just passed my full test yesterday and I've had my nc30 sittin in my garage for three months.
It was the most amazing ride. That might be because I rode a Dragstar, the power's there, but not in your face. It wasn't too scary as I just got off a 125 two hours before.
It's cheap to insure as well.
Overall I'm over the moon.
Cheers.
Recently bought a 92 nc 30. Is anyone there that can give some good advice about this little beauty? See I'm used to driving a CRF 450 moto cross and obviously that is a beast, so the VFR feels like a Honda 50 compared to it. So what can be done to improve its performance?
Thanks.
