VFR400R NC30

Tom McQuiggan

"The story starts with the clutch pulled in at 1300 revs and ends a short time later at 15,500 revs! In between, there's a
whole bundle of fun to be had!"

"Exactly the sort of bike that will have you smiling like the proverbial Cheshire Cat once you've been on it a few minutes!"

"The torque is quite something. It pulls really well".

"A piece of motorcycle history".

"Packed full of race-bred technology, it comes into its own on the twisties and will surprise riders of bigger machinery".

"Give it some stick and you'll leave 600 owners sucking your exhaust fumes".

"Undeniably one of the most sophisticated 400's around".

"Incredibly expensive when new and magnificently built. Nothing like it!"

"Oooohhh, that exhaust note from the V4 engine - more, more, more!"

"0-60 in 3.9 seconds! WOW! That's on par with some feisty 1Kcc rides".

"Phenomenally capable!"

"You wouldn't expect it to tour well, but it does. I know someone who goes to France and back regularly".

"The engine itself is one of the toughest ever built".

"It's almost as good as an RC30".

"Before you know it, 10,000 howling revs are pumping neat aggression into your veins!"

"The more I rode it, the more I loved to tap-dance on that wonderful gear-lever and listen to the exhaust howl".

"The finish is superb. It's a top-ten pose and a top-ten noise, beautifully and solidly built".

"This is the damned easiest bike to ride. Ever! It seems to know where you want it to go and it just goes there"!

"Beauty, Form, Function, History, Pedigree. It makes the competition turn around and head home".
