Maybe the magazine is part of the same group as mcn?
There's patent drawings on the net for a new rcv1000 engine And all the surrounding speculation to go with it including marques being filmed on the millennium bridge as possibly being used as part of an advertising film for a new model to come which could be a fireblade replacement who knows?

I hope they do build one.

If they still made the NC35 - I'd buy one new.
I want something usable on the road but is "trick" . I've been riding for *years* and whilst my friends might have all seen 400s as a starter bike - I've just moved from an R1 to the NC35...the NC35 is more fun and usable on the road.

And, importantly for a short ass like me...I can get both feet on the floor!

There are plenty of riders out there who want a trick *sports* bike that is low (my wife for one!)...and don't want a cheap commuter bike...but something with USD forks and all the rest.

I'd happily pay £10k for a trick upto date 400 the size of my NC35....

Here's hoping!
