i have been working there all weekend thats what i mean.
keep saving mate, buying the cheapest NC30 around often leads only to either being put off bikes for life or it costing twice as much as a decent one would have cost if you had waited and bought a nice one to start with.
no idea on mileage, ignore it anyway as its unlikely to be genuine, aftermarket paint but it does look to have original panels which is a good thing.
if it has new tyres, chain and sprockets and pads and the motors and gearbox is ok - you got a reasonable NC30 but it will never be a cracker unless you spend big.
not saying this to piss on your chips, but a cheap example if often not the wisest buy.

Agree with the above, its a dealer bike to start with so you know they only paid around £600 for it. £1500 will get you a nice NC30 that wont empty your bank account getting it road worthy but there getting few and far between these days.

it appears to have new brake discs on the front,

after years of ebay and bandwidth, its about time they allowed you to list pics of higher resolution,
so you could look better at the pic of the bike etc

if its original honda bodywork i think its not to bad for a grand ive seen far worse but as i say thats SEEN and not heard, this could be a total dog underneath, ask when it was last serviced what oil was used, when the plugs were changed etc, ask the question are the plugs expensive to buy if they say not really then they are lying etc. as the plugs for the NC30 tend to be about £7 each where as standard plugs are about £3 each

mileage should never be a concern with NC30s as there pretty tough engines, listen for any rattling noises, and check the charging system as thats the main issues these bikes carry.
