What Makes This Bike Great? Ep 25: Honda CBR400RR NC29
Honda’s CBR400RR NC29 is one of the most beautiful of all the Japanese import ‘pocket rockets’ of the early 90s, complete with its unconventional-shaped aluminium beam frame, ‘Gull-Arm’ swingarm and shell-suit paintjobs. The 399cc inline four-cylinder ‘Baby Blade’ made a claimed 59bhp @ 12,500rpm but was trimmed to 53bhp in 1994 to meet Japanese licence requirements. This immaculate example belongs to channel regular James Jackson. In this video he explains how he came to find it, what he did to breathe life into it and lets me take it for a spin. Enjoy!
