Lovely job Dave...as always.

Looking forward to seeing you work your magic on the NC30..........often drooled over them and the CB400R's that Boxhill Motors and BAT Cycles imported from Japan by the dozen back in the day. Too small for my personal liking, but the excellence of the Honda Engineers (along with the other Jap tiddlers race reps) always filled me with admiration.........after growing up with Brit bikes, these multi cylinder rockets really were things of beauty.
Now: 2008 CB1300S, CB750K4, 1970 Bonneville. Various other 1960's 650 Triumph T120's/ TR6's/ TR6C's (all in bits...many, many bits unfortunately). Previous: 2007 CB600FA, 1976 CB500 Four. BMW F800ST. GS750E. ZZR1100. CB1300 (2). ZXR1200S. VFR800. CB750 Nighthawk. CX500. XS500 Yam. Suzuki GT500. BSA A10. Various Lambrettas. Zundapp Bella (honest).

Thank you all.
Alan, I used to go to the bike auctions on a Friday night where they would sell tens of NC and CB 400’s. The gull arm 400’s were mini GP bikes! I remember countless Honda 400 Bros's with the occasional 650 passing through. BAT were a regular customer there. I think it took place in Leyton? I never had any money but went for the buzz of it all and to drool🤤
The NC is small, when I sat on it I felt like a giant! If you want to see one being restored back to standard from a wreck look up RRC Restorations on YouTube, it's a series of five or six episodes, you'll be hooked!
