Anyone know about these NC29 schemes as found in a post at essex bikers or is it BS?

I absoloutely love my CBR400RR-R NC29, i got offered it from my wanted advert in MCN, it had 11,000 genuine miles, 1 owner since imported in 94, and fsh. It also was one of 50 NC29's to have the factory Honda anniversary colous

Pics...

Anniversary of what?

its bs.more likely maybe someone sprayed a bike in the colours and fed him a line!

The VFR800 and blade had anniversary schemes on the 98/99 bikes

this CBR is a 94 on a L perhaps, so either honda decided it would have a bash 5 years early to test the water, or its horseshit and someone's been suckered.

sounds like it, what colours were the blade. was it that cadbury blue with gold RR's ? and the VFR was red/silver ?

Nah thats the lapis blue and gold RRX, i had one for a year before the Ducati. fast as fook it was too. heavy cumbersome beast though
the anniversary was red / white

I'm sure there was a run of late spec 98ish model's painted up in Castrol colours with hi comp pistons cartridge forks and flatslides?

So I suspect if no ones really seen these bikes here they dont exist, especially a 94 model but it is interesting that sa.racing thinks that something was different in 98 at least.

BTW sa.racing, I note you mention flatsides on later models,dont know what flat side carbs are but my carbs have a flat side on the carb slider which I thought was normal for the NC29.

Flat slides... The slides are flat, not round

And they dont have CV pots on top.
