Well after about 10 years of just dreaming, it is now becoming a reality
Just got a RC30
ok its pretty old technology but for me it is my dream bike
just hope i wont be to scared to ride this thing.
just need to flog a couple of others to afford it now

Good on you Paul, after that long chat with our mate Rob at Oulton, I could see you really, REALLY wanted one....

Nice, good work.

I hammered past a guy on one of those in the mountains near Canberra once, I though I was king-*****e for mugging him on my 250 but now I realise that he was protecting his investment - I was young ....

Cheers, did i come over that strongly ?
Its a G plate Euro spec bike (large headlamps and mirrors and titchy indicators) full power with 20500 kms on it.
minor marks but no damage for £6700
Few quid but using it daily it shoudnt devalue
should have it in a fortnight hopefully

Many, many congrats!

It's always been one of my dream bikes too after reading a PB article about one that had been blueprinted by Tony Scott.

Is it a UK model or the Japanese one? I looked at a couple of imports last year but they were all 77bhp and was told the de-restriction process was pricey.

Either way it's a stunning bike and deserves to be ridden to the edge on a track near you soon!

Incidentally, I saw one at a Silversone TD last year being thrown around. What a lovely noise......

That's a bargain! All the one's I looked at were over £8k...

FINALLY

way to go mister... I was looking at Rob's collection yesterday thinking it was a nice bike along with the 955

[BDG]

Congratulations, excellent piece of kit, always wanted one of those as well. Much prefer RC30 to the RC45

Bloody good price, presume you imported it as its in kms, or someone else has.

A friend had a beautiful, well sorted one a few years back but i never had the money to spare when he sold it, which is one of my regrets.

One of the best, if not the best Jap bikes ever made IMHO, ENJOY.

[crm250]

Ooooh and just bought a RC45 rear wheel too, so now i can fit some decent rubber and not some dodgy old 18" 170 rubbish
