an NR750 would be, but 27k for an RC30 is a bit strong

I don't think it's "that far" off the mark for a pristine RC30. You have to pay a lot in this country now...if you can find one.

NR750 - now at the risk of getting shot down, but it really does bugger all for me. its a bit lardy too, but for rarity factor alone its a must have. Prices are a bit on the stiff side for one too.
Finding a good RC30 in the uk was hard, i saw plenty of ex raced pretty ones for 6-7k but finding one only used as a road bike is tough, sadly its also a sellers market as they can ask what they like for them, if you dont buy it someone else will eventually.
Anyone remember that new one in a dealers went for £20,000 recently ?
Marriots in birkenhead have a stunning example for sale at the moment. Sadly i am well skint after living the dream and buying mine otherwise i would be signing on the dotted line in a heartbeat.
Seriously, if anyone's even kind of tempted and fancys a RC, then dont even think about it - get it bought, its not going to lose any value, and to ride they are fantastic even today, plus you can sell it a million times over if cash gets tight.
Sorry for keep going on about these but i have yet to ride a bike that stirs me anything like these (and i have had quite a few)

I've checked Marriott's web site, and there's no mention of the RC. What can you tell me? U2U please..!

Thanks
Steve
