MODEL SUMMARY.
Beautiful little Honda CBR400RR-N NC29 Gullarm. Originally registered in 1994, it is of 1993 build vintage with an NC29105xxx chassis number. None of these 400 Supersports were officially brought into the UK by the manufacturers. Ultimately this one arrived in 1999, and is registered on an ‘M’ prefix
Totally fit and healthy, this bike both looks and runs quite superbly. A (not so) small fortune has been spent on it including recent replacement brake calipers, discs, HEL braided lines and brake fluid, recent DID Pro Gold chain/sprockets and air filter, and recent replacement stainless exhaust headers and brand new Scorpion end can (original supplied) Has just had a Motul 5100 10w/40 lube service with new NGK CR8EHiX-9 Iridum plugs, fuel system clean/flush and new fuel filter, and the carbs have been fully stripped and ultrasonically cleaned. Excellent matching Pirelli Diablos. VOSA mileage history report. Clear HPI report. MOTd November 2020
The net result of all of the above is that it is totally ‘on the button’ and needs nothing at all. Essentially the bike one may end up with after buying one as a ‘project’ and investing much time and money into, ultimately to arrive at where this bike is now
The NC29 Gullarm followed the earlier NC23 TRi-Arm model, the swingarm being the most significant of a multitude of differences between the two. Often referred to as the ‘Baby Blade’ by some, that particular designation, strictly to the letter, only applies to the 1994 RR-R model year bikes which displayed ‘Fireblade’ on their fairings. However, there is a degree of licence with these things, and most NC29s are indeed, and not unreasonably so, considered a Baby Blade
This example is truly very clean, and is in the quite unusual colour scheme of Granite Blue / Light Silver (code PB184E) As is often the case, the fairings are high quality replica items, but only serve to enhance the smartness and overall appearance of the bike. Items such as the wheels, fork stanchions, fork pistons, yokes, instruments etc, all very good. It looks fantastic
As with other 400s of around this vintage, and Hondas in particular (NC23, NC30, NC35), light weight, scintillating handling and a willing motor are the watchwords. The CBR400RR utilised an in-line 4 of 399cc capacity, and the engine was beautifully engineered. Gear driven camshafts featured, and the little motor was happy to rev to in excess of 14000rpm, with most of it’s usable power at upwards of 10000rpm. In short, a proper screamer, and considerably revvier than many 2 strokes. Sounds amazing, and with it’s obvious chassis, handling and braking attributes, it all adds up to a great deal of fun
All in all one of the nicer 400s of any denomination that will be found. Looks, sounds, goes and handles exactly as intended, so very well indeed
