WTF

 

Fuck that

 

That is a NC30 (VFR400R) NOT an RC30 (VFR750R).

 

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

Look at the seat unit, the aftermarket rear wheel, the Ohlins rear shock, the size of the rear downpipes, the smashed fairing (composite, not plastic).

Take it from someone who has serviced hundreds of NC30s (and a couple of RC30s). That is an RC30

 

A member on PF has a brother who has an NR750

 

Surely the exhaust and back tyre are both too small for an RC30?

 

I'd bet good money that's a 180 section tyre and that's also a pretty meaty aftermarket system

 

Yep deffo its a 30
Have a Mr Rainbird

 

fair enough, you're probably in a better position to judge it than me. Just both look a little small to me. could just be perspective/angle or whatever.

 

170 max they didn't do 18 inch 180 sections back then

 

*edited*
Doh its got a Marvic 17 in it

 

to Mike

R1's are fast mate scares me

Was gonna get the RC30...still might as i dont use the R1 much so the Honda would be an investment

 

If you are after a minter RC30 gimme a shout as I know where one is for sale

 

check out the bike neville's!

 

 

I want a supermoto myself but i've been banned from getting a roadbike

 

another gf/wife that wears the trousers is it?

 

Nah, my mum before she died and my dad. i wouldnt do what my girlfriend or wife if I had one told me

 

Well according to ALL the motorcycle forums you're in the minority in thinking it is an RC30 . According to the police, they have it down as an RC45 .

They are aftermaket wheels, aftermarket exhaust, aftermarket suspension and crucially an aftermarket seat hump - if it was a genuine RC30 seat hump, it would have a screw in the very corner where it meets the frame - you can see clearly what I mean from the genuine one . You can clearly see that this has a non-genuine race seat (fitted to an NC30 ). So stick that in your pipes .

Who in their right mind would do this to an RC30, if you were to modify one, you would use all the Honda Racing parts or risk devaluing it . If that WAS an RC30, then I'm a space man.

 

A screw where now?

(Don't be confused by the small headlights, that's a Jap spec RC30, not an NC30)

The seat unit is held on by three screws each side.

I've never seen an RC30 modded using HRC parts

I've also never seen an aftermarket NC30 single seat unit with the two recesses on the top of the seat unit.

I think the more relevant question is who would spend that much money modifying an NC30.

It's far more likely that that's an RC30 with paintjob, rear wheel, Ohlins shock and exhaust (the mods pretty much every RC30 owner will do bar the paint)

When's your next launch?

 

The first pics are at a show where the filth had 'reassembled' the crash.

Here's a pic from the crash site



There's a car driver that won't pull out on a motorcycle again

 

Actually now i actually take the pictures seriously (as i was just enjoying the 007 to rainbird )

It is an NC30..and GurnE i am shocked how you cant tell

Look on the seat unit where it meets the frame..note the cut out...only the NC30 has that...

 

The corner of the seat hump in front of the seat where it meats the frame has a screw to attach it on a GENUINE seat hump, but on this aftermarket pattern item it does not . It's an NC30 that someone has TRIED to make look like an RC30 . Given also that he had JUST passed his test, how the fuck was he going to insure a modded RC30 - it would be hard enough on an ickle NC30 for someone who had just passed their test ?

 

Mike mine is a much better

 

Wrong

 

Both the RC30 and NC30 have three screws on each side. One on the subframe and two onto the frame.

Whether the bike is an RC or NC is would still use those three mounting bolts.
That seat has obviously just ripped away from it's mounting.

Throwing it into a car at 100mph+ will do that

 

A to me

 

Yep Phil,
WRONG, the NC is the only one that has a second cut out below the rear seat.

However, I am pointing out the screw in FRONT of the cut-out in the picture Gurn-e has posted is NOT there on the crashed bike (due to it being a pattern part ).

And in ripping away from the fairing mount it has also miraculously sealed up the hole as well .

 

That brings back memories

(not just of Phil being a but also of the VFR400 i used to have about a decade ago when i was thin enough for it to be worth riding a 400)


Awesome bikes, really enjoyed mine

 

Fucking hell Chip did it MOVE with you on it?

 

Yes mate, i didnt have you stalking me so closely that you would have been on the pillion seat at the time like now, so i could get away with it only being a little engine back then.

 

That's a 2D image of a 3D object and the inside of the hole is going to be painted green just like the surrounding panel ergo from that distance you won't be able to see it.

Mute point anyway as regardless of whether it's an NC or RC they would both have the same three mounting points each side

 

arhhh you just can't beat them, my best bike all round was my little nc 29 baby blade

 

So I was right then?

 

Is that check mate to Gurne? Or is it only match point?

 

In the one of the pictures, you can CLEARLY see that there is NO hole .

Why would it have pulled away at that point IF it had have been attached ?

I'm STILL right - NC30.

 

Your argument makes no sense!

Both bikes have the same mounting points on the seat units!!!

So even if there is no hole (which there is, you just can't make it out ), that still proves nothing.........lol

Look:

NC30


RC30


Notice how both bikes have two bolts securing the seat unit to the frame?

It's just been thrown into a golf at over 100mph

Face it, you're wrong

 

I'm afraid we will have to agree to disagree .

1. No-one would deface an RC30 in such away.
2. No-one who had just passed their test would be riding an RC30.
3. However, NC30s are REGULARLY bought by beginners.
4. You're .
5. So is anyone else who believes that is an RC30 (especially Cam ) .

 

We will

1. I don't see how race paint, system, ohlins shock, aftermarket wheels etc is defacing especially as there are a lot of ex-race bike RC30's out there on the road that have been 'tidied up' in such a manner by their owners

2. Where are you getting this 'just passed their test' nonsense from?
Internet conjecture imo. Stick to the facts (The picture of the RC30 )

3. See 1

4. That was just a phase. You said you wouldn't say anything.

5. No argument there

 

No, not conjecture, it was shown at the Swedish Motorcycle Fair (the display was jointly produced by the Swedish Police and Road Safety department)
