There are one or two at BAT motorcycles. There were two there when I went to get our Aprilia RS250 at the end of last summer, and I think there's still one left. They were around £8000.

its just gone to motrac in ellesmere port for a service and carb clean, then its new rubber and off for test so should be roadworthy in a couple of weeks but no rush at this rate of weather.
Anyway just incase anyone has no idea of what a RC30 looks like, here she is

crm250 just thought I'd let you know theres a nice little feature on the RC30 in Junes Classic Motorcycle Mechanics. Not a mag I normally buy but I noticed an RC30 peeping at me from the top shelf!

I know the owner (Norman Blakey) vaguely as hes mates with a good mate of mine. I was talking to him a year or so ago and he is obsessed with getting hold of as many classic bikes as possible! He seemed to be buying something every week and everything he bought was mint/low mileage and usually one owner. He seemed prepared to pay top money for such bikes, I think he sees it as some sort of pension fund.

Quite funny as the 3 of us were discussing which bikes we would buy as part of a collection and my friend mentioned an RC45 and I a RC30 and he did not seem too familar with them at the time. Now he has a 30 and is looking for a 45!

He does mention he is also after a 888 as well so anyone with a minter for sale get in touch. Hes a very nice bloke and is in the envious position of being able to build a lovely collection.

Green with envy

Very nice my first big bike at 18 was a NC24 the bike before the NC30, the NC24 was the first production bike with a single sided swing arm. had the same 400cc v4 with gear driven cams awseome sounding with a can on and it was built to last to

Love a nc30 now for a second bike to.
