    You're joking right? Fucking good little bike. I would LOVE to have one. Had a chance to buy one in the 90s from a Japanese student that brought his here. But it was too knackered and too expensive to be enticing. I rode it though. Actually ridden a couple. Fucking wired to your brain. Just barely think about turning and it's already doing it.

    What, you got your Euro RC24 and now you're gonna go for another U.S. Unicorn?

    JK... they can be found here if you really want one.

    If I could get one i would. Would be a great in town runner or track bike. But yeah, a unicorn. Hard to get parts and pricey.

    I would cut my balls off with a Taco Bell spork for a NC30 worth saving.

    Pic is of the earlier NC24.
    That said son had one and it was an awesome machine.
    NC30 is quite common as an import and plenty of parts available in UK.

    In RC30 colours it is as near you can get to owning the legend without mortgaging the house.

    Try eBay.co.uk

    I had one in the late 90s till I went through a hedge on it. The phrase "pocket rocket" was invented for these , goes like a stabbed rat , handles like a go-kart and weighs nothing. Great fun and would have another in a heart beat

    I owned the NC24 back in the day; great little runner, but not sure my older bones would enjoy it quite so much now. The 400 V4s are a great performer that is capable of hanging on the tails of litre bikes until the corners run out.

    We have a fair few NC24s, 30s and 35s rolling around in NZ, and just lately the prices (like many older bikes) are just skyrocketing. US$10k for a 49,000km NC30 anybody?

    "Runs beautifully and tight as a virgin!" maybe $10k is reasonable!
