Nc30 has gotta go......
 

hi all,
decided to sell my Nc30 because im just too freaking big for the bike.
I scared myself the other day and measured myself and im just under 6ft 4.:o:o:o:o

went on a rideout to wales and my wrists just hurt like hell after.and my back.:(

so in a month or so will sell her.

thinking of getting a kwak 600.1998 or newer as thats all i can afford really.
they fit me well,sound lurvly with a blue flame exhaust,reliable and are quite quick.:devil:

pity tho.....i did love the nc30,handles like a dream.my 125 would beat it in corners but the nc30 was very stable.and did sound nice for a standard bike but after a few tweeks from mogwais tuning bike shop, she was much quicker:D

Ed the numpty

hope your fitting a restrictor kit young man...;)

of course


;)

Get DUCATI thats what this site is all about mate ??

I thought the site was about loving and appreciating DUCATI's...:P

Aint nothing wrong with a Kwak Jewell.
Brother in law has a zx4...sounds beautiful. Cheap, cheerful and rides like a dream.
In fact after I'd had a go I had to have a lie down!
But from a design point of view italian bikes are the best.
:D

Jeepers Ed, hadn't realised you are 6'4" - NC30 is NOT the bike for you then - you've obviously discovered they're tiny, even for me at 5'7".

A 600 will bump your insurance up quite a bit I would have thought, but can't think of any other options.

I know it's a bit sad this, but my advice would be to forget the sporty stuff for a while, get something cheap n cheerful, build up some experience and a NCB and then get the bike you always wanted. You'll save a bucketload of money as well.

I would look at sometinhg unfaired to as on faired bikes, it seems to double insurance on fully comp for obvious reasons.

I paid £1400 fc for my new 748s last year, and now looking at 2k after my claim and points.

At the end of the day its your age, I'm 23 and had 5 years ncb last year.

Makes you want to get old sometimes:lol::lol::lol::lol: NNottttt!!!!!!

Noooooo.sorry but the whole point of me getting a bike is for the corners.all other bikes i find are boring.

sports tourers will deffo be more comfortable but then u cant crank it over as much and i would be bored in a week.:(

and road runner,im a student,im 18 and the only ducati i can afford is a 2nd hand monster,which are sweet bikes but not me.plus my insurance will be sky high.

and i dont want a ducati untill i have abit more bike maintance skills and tools.

Ed - picked up my U2U ?

Hmmmm, can't crank sports tourers over.........must remember that next time I'm out on my ST!
I know what you're saying Ed, but it's not always about the pigeon hole that a bike has been placed in.
With a correctly set up bike, you can have as much fun as you want.
The trick I've found is to get a bike that fits you physically first, then get on with learning how to get the most out of it.
Keep looking, you'll soon find something.

Errr CB500 Ask James Toseland about the handling

Ed, mum here!
Wee JB & Rushjob are right, you know (oldies usually are:lol: ). Even our Bex, had a non sportsbike for 2 years, before the NC21 to gain the cheap insurance, as well as experience.
When I came back to it, I got a non faired bike (as I still have), to buld up the no claims etc. You would be suprised at what you might be able to get - its a bike isnt it?
Kwak 600's way too much for ins arent they?
What about the older semi faired GPZ'/X'ss - slightly taller, and poss on classic ins? Still capable of 140mph. (in 1984 the GPZ600r had a lean angle of 51%, before anything touched - not as good as the 999, but still a long way down) prob around the £1000 mark to buy. Full faired, they are more upright position, like todays sports tourers.
Also the older GP550's were quick faired bike - again cheaper to insure.
1980's CBR600s - FZR 400 (was a taller bike) or FZR600

Food for thought son:d

Luv,

CK

ps - I take offence that you cant get an unfaired bike 'over'. Come to our monster track day sonny!
:mad:

hi darlin:D,howz my little sugar mama?:D

insurance for a kwak 600 is about 800 TPFT.

and will go to the Monster TD if i can.


i dont need expericence,i need Track days Damnit.
:D:P
