1994 Honda NC29 CBR400 RR The "Baby Blade"

Up for sale - reluctantly (!) - is my daughters Honda NC29 400 cc "Baby Blade".   Probably one of the best Pocket Rocket imports that they made. According to V5 First registered in Japan in 1994 and then in the UK in 1997. 3 owners in the UK. She has owned the bike for just on 10 years and in that time it's done just over 2000km!  (Partly due to moving house and not having a secure place to keep it so it's been laid up in my garage. )These bikes are really great fun. quick. light. great handling and stopping - ideal for pretty much anyone. The bike shows 34k kilometres  but approx 500 of these are actually miles as an MPH converter was fitted a couple of years ago. Have pretty much all old MOT's back to 1998Got a couple of advisories on the last one - head race a little notchy - so I've adjusted that and exhaust leak - so manifold gaskets replacedIt's fitted with Micron can and K&N filter. polished bar ends. carbon look levers. polished reservoir cap parts of the frame have also been polished. Sounds really nice no rattles no smoking. Good Bridgestone tyres front and rear MOT'd September 2015. Just fitted a new battery. regulator rectifier and fuel pump relay Also included are a Haynes manual for the bike and a rear seat cowl to convert to a single seat sport (looks very neat) - will need to be rubbed down and sprayed though as has been sitting on a shelf in the garage and has got a couple of surface marksThe bad bits are as follow1) usual panel scrapes and tears. there are a couple of splits on the lower panel on each side and a couple of the fixing lugs have been replaced -A good plastic welder could make these as new very easily2) Both casings show a bit of scuff damage where in a previous life it has gone over. I was going to rub them down and respray them. but never got round to it Tried to show this in the pictures3) Dip switch doesn't like staying on main - common problem on this type of switch - again can be replaced easily by an alternative switch from something like a CBR600. or simply extend the wires to a sep switch. Personally I simply keep the switch pressed in with my thumb when I use it!Overall a good honest little bike. Currently Taxed til end August 2015 - so buy before 1st October and it will get transferred with the bike!So after 10 years why is it being sold?. Impending motherhood and a nursery that needs furnishing and painting!
