good one ed, they are the best first big bikes ( well not physically big really)  i had an earlier NC24 in rothmans colours, was restricted, still fun but then took of restictor and woooohooo, boy does it fly for a 400.
 
 the handling the best and the NC30 even better + more powerful the the later NC35.
 
 This was tested as i had a 24 and my 2 mates each had a 30 and 35, we used to have a race and the nc30 was the fastest.
 
 Have fun, but dont forget they still do around 130 inicated
