I know they're ultra rare, but $27K? blink.gif


Wow that bike is in showroom peferct condition. Beautiful bike, but I can't see spending that kinda money on something I would never personally ride. I would be to paranoid. Could put the money to better use on a couple of bikes I would actually ride. =)

That's my buddy Grant... in his stable are 6 RC30 and 4 RC45... all are pristine showroom stock examples... he razzes me every year at Laguna during MotoGp that I keep screwing up Mr.RC45 with mods...

Here here,, that's just weird. I can see two...... one for show one for modding out and putting on the track, but that many with no mods? Sounds like he doesn't love the bike, he loves the investment.

But it sure seems to be in damn fine shape.

This bike belongs to a member here. I cant remember who it was but he told the story about how he found it in T.J. mexico while on vacation. Speak up so they can read the cool story.

I think I remember reading that story. I would love to hear it again. Anyway that is truly a timeless machine. Looks modern by any standard and performance probably ain't nothing to sneeze at even compared to todays modern machines. I can't imagine how absolutely bad ass it was in 1990! And how it must have sounded!

I'M GONNA BE SICK..I've had my hands inside lots of Rc30 motors at Velescos shop in Bremerton (home of the Bremelos) but have never swung a leg over one. I did get 86'd out of Brothers Honda for touching one though!
For that kind of money, it'd have to have ALL the HRC mods, and be a virgin goofy.gif

Most coveted RC30 engine builders on the planet are Mike Velesco and Tony Scott... the members of the RC30 Club beg to have their engine accepted... I don't about Mike but Tony is booked 2 years in advance...

One of our members (who happens to have posted in this topic) found an RC45 in Tijuana... I'm sure the story has been appropriated/mutated over the years, as it's such a good one!

See? I'd love to hear all of these things running at once! That's nuts, owning 10 RCs... but I'm sure if you could, you would...

I'm sure they are nice (museum) pieces, but RC30s are still selling for EUR10,000 or less in Europe... RC45s around EUR15,000. It sure sucks living over here... biggrin.gif
