Vfr750R / Rc30 Gallery At Superbikeplanet

Over at SuperbikePlanet there is a nice photo gallery of the RC30 gathering during the WSBK event at Monza in 2007

20 years later and it is still one of the best looking bikes ever made.

I could seriously get in trouble for looking at those pics on my work computer.  Those pics are two wheeled porn.

Some day I will have an RC30.  They can bury me with it.

Different filter same time. Gives a different vibe, doesn't it?

I had it for 10 years, and it went back to the PO last year. About 55,000 miles on it. 

I sold my RC30 to a good home... Mr.RC45 is all race bred V4 I'll ever need...

I  had  forgot  about  Merkel .

Interesting that some had a retro gold wing on the tank and some a more modern red wing.   Was there any significance to that - maybe production year?   

Another  fact  I  was  unaware of.

"Sir Carl Fogarty raced an HRC-built RC30 at the Isle of Man TT. His IOM racer weighed an incredible 77 pounds less than the race kitted RC30. He did a lap at over 124 mph--average."

LOVED that bike....

Wish I had kepot mine, but the honest truth was it was not being ridden enough and deserved a better home :-(
