Looking for a NC29 CBR400

I want a CBR400 as I’ve owned one when I first started biking on which I did 28,000 mostly trouble free miles on.

Basically I’m looking to downgrade as my commute calls for a smaller bike -

CBR400 nc29

Engine and running gear must be sound and it must be road legal - cosmetics aren’t that important as I will be stripping it down (would be a bonus if it has the original fairing brackets)

Cheers all

Cheers for the feedback guys,
Not had much luck finding a decent one TBH, they’ve all had some inexperienced teenager run them into the ground.
I’ll keep searching!

Thanks all

Hi there,

I have two NC29s (cos Im greedy)

I crashed back in Feb and bought another one to keep me on the road till my original was back up n running, as soon as it is I’ll be selling the replacement. (within the next couple of months)

It has a CBR 600 shock, blue after market fairings, polished frame, swingarm, and forks. J reg can’t remember the mileage but can check if your interested

Looking at around £1200 ono

I can send you some pics if you want :slight_smile:

Definitely interested!

Where abouts in London are you from?
Cheers

Still on the look out for a nice CBR400!

Good luck with your search:)

Thanks :slight_smile:

BUMPY McBUMP

Saw a nice one of these on Sunday in S Essex being ridden by a tiny Oriental lady. Very nippy bike, seemed to keep up with the 5 or 6 big sports bikes she was with without too much trouble.

Good luck with your search. There used to be a shop in Croydon that specialised in 400s imported unofficialy from Japan, it had loads of them. Unfortunately it closed down some years ago - or maybe it just moved elsewhere?

Thanks!

Yeah I owned one in the past, I’ve been through loads of different bikes in the past 9 years - GSX1400 was the largest capacity I’ve owned, I had a bandit 1200 for a couple of years (12,000 miles in total) but by far the most reliable bike I owned was the CBR. I mainly want one to save on insurance, fuel and running costs + I’d like to retain the Honda reliability of gear driven cams. I will eventually modify it with up-to-date fairings and CBR6 engine swap.

The only style of bike I’ve yet to try is a big-bore supermoto (been on a 400) but as motorcycles are my only form of transport I need something a bit more practical!

Dont forget pistonheads, they have some fab stuff on there at times!

Try BAT motorcycles in Biggin Hill, kent, speak to Roger, they normally have a selection of CBR400’s instock.

Shop is situated in the industrial estate of the main road next to the airport, take a left at the mini roundabout road by the flying club.

Cant remember number, try the web site.

Classic Motorcycles in central Croydon have 2 in stock plus a rare GSXR400 and interesting sporty Yamaha 400. Give Warren a ring on 07865 581308. Address is 44-45 Tamworth Rd CR0 1XU.

Warren used to own a massive 2nd hand bike shop on Brighton Road, South Croydon, now sadly closed down.

Hi Guys,
Cheers for the update, will look into the companies suggested!
Thanks
