Italy is being hit hard these days: the political situation is such that currently there isn’t a government despite elections were held just few weeks ago. The economy is getting worse by the day and new motorcycles sales are hitting the lowest point in 50 years. Nevertheless it seems that rare bikes like this beautiful NC 30 aren’t affected. With an asking price of 10.000 EUR (=13000 $) this VFR400R is on top of the range:
Is this the first sign that the small V4 will follow the myth of its bigger brother the RC30 ? With just 3000km on the clock this sample is indeed a rare and collectable one.
I am personally looking for one as I think riding a 400 cc on public roads is a better way to enjoy sport bikes without risking the jail because of excessive speed. Add to that, the amazing sound of a V4 revving 14000 rpm, a great chassis, top notch looks and excellent build quality and what more would you need ?
Have a listen to this:

interesting that the bike in the video does not match the bike in the pictures, the one in the video has different graphics, black rear seat and a red front fender.. what bike is for sale here?
The bike on sale is the one pictured in the photos as well as the one you can see by clicking in the link. The video is not related to the bike on sale but has the intention to give an idea of how an NC30 would sound like…
Wait..what? $13,000? Wouldn’t this be a world record high price for an NC30? I thought they regularly sold for $5K-8K.
This one is probably a euro/uk model. You can tell by the larger mirrors. I guess there’s not many street legal NC30’s in Italy that or Italian tax rates are nuts.
