- Desirable sports bike, rare sight in Europe

The 1992 Honda VFR400 NC30 is a true gem of the 1990s sportsbike era. Revered by enthusiasts for its razor-sharp handling, balance, and advanced engineering, the NC30 is one of Honda's most iconic middleweight motorcycles. Powered by a compact and rev-happy 399cc V4 engine.

Originally built for racing and homologated for road use, the NC30 became a formidable presence in Japan's 400cc racing scene. The bike’s light weight, combined with near-perfect geometry, made it a joy to handle, cementing its status as one of the best 400cc sportbikes ever made. One of the standout features of the NC30 is its signature gear-driven camshafts, a Honda trademark that provided better throttle response and enhanced engine reliability, the distinctive 360° crankshaft configuration provided a harmonious balance between power and smoothness, with a ferocious top-end delivery that made it a sensation on the track and the street. Fully adjustable suspension – both front and rear – gave riders the ability to tailor the bike’s handling to their preferences, while the twin-piston front brakes offered superb stopping power.

The VFR400 NC30 was never officially sold outside of Japan, making it a rare and sought-after bike in markets like the UK, the EU, and the US. Now revered by collectors and track-day enthusiasts who appreciated its race-bred heritage, a true ‘pocket rocket,’ offering thrills that rivaled larger, more powerful machines despite its relatively small displacement. Today, the VFR400 NC30 has endured the test of time and continues to be regarded as one of the finest 400cc sports bikes ever produced. 

As Classic Bike Guide put it: "The VFR400 NC30 is one of Honda’s finest creations, offering unmatched handling and a high-revving V4 engine that delivers exhilarating performance. A true motorcycle legend that punches well above its weight."
