Essentially a scaled-down version of Honda’s legendary RC30, the VFR400, or NC30, was a race-bred 400cc superbike introduced in the late 1980s. A smaller and cheaper alternative to the VFR750R, the 400 still possessed the same bodywork and livery as the 750, as well as its stellar reliability and fit and finish which had become Honda hallmarks.
The VFR400 was created for the Japanese domestic market, though it was officially sold in parts of Europe for a time, albeit in limited numbers. Produced until being phased out in ’94, the NC30 wasn’t ever sold in the US, though grey market examples have found their way to US shores.
These unique wall art tanks are produced by Parc Ferme Moto Art. The artist has been a good friend of Iconic’s and Bike-urious for over a decade and has produced an extremely unique and limited production run of gas tank wall art available exclusively through Iconic Motorbike Auctions. These ultra rare tanks are from a legendary collection of illustrious bikes. Stay tuned for subsequent listings of these amazing art pieces and get yours while supplies last.
The art piece measures 35″x24″x9″ and our transport department estimates shipping from our warehouse in Santa Monica to the continental US be around $150 via Fedex ground. The seller states “This is an original VFR400 NC30 fuel tank that had some rust that could not be overcome, and with the internal plastic vent setup using a liner is not really an option, so it was repurposed here to showcase the classic Type 1 VFR400 brilliance.”
Currently located in Santa Monica, California, this Honda Tank is offered on a bill of sale. Have any VFR400 NC30 stories or questions about this listing? Let us know in the “Comments” tab!
