Would an 87 VFR end up in me spending £'s on keeping it running in anyones experience? After something cheap thats as maintenance free as an SV but is not an SV.
Problem with NC24's is spares and tyres, they don't take modern tyre sizes although they are still fantastic.

Major problem with them is the collectors, they rust, fall apart, are rocking horse poo to get hold of and need the engine out to swap. NC30's & NC35's are a *far* better bet.
