1990 Honda RC30 VFR750R

Here we go boys and girls… You might want to get a towel to wipe away the drool before you look.

RC 30 located in Northern Ohio and it appears to be a perfect collector. It has been ridden, but not too much, it has all the original equipment and a complete “collector’s package” as well. Seeing one of these babies makes me more giddy than a 16 year old on a date with an older woman.

The seller has a lot to say about his bike so read on:

For your consideration today is a very rare find in the motorcycle world. An all-original U.S. spec 1990 Honda VFR-750R ‘RC-30’ Sport bike. One of 300 ever imported. This legendary hand-built Japanese Superbike has always been collector owned having accrued just 2976 miles since new. ”This bike is Museum Quality” a 9 in a scale of 1 to 10. It is finished in the classic Red/White/Blue RC-30 color scheme. Always properly stored and garage kept. Absolutely has never seen any weather!
For those who aren’t all that familiar with the Honda RC-30, volumes have been written about it in print magazines as well as here on the internet. It is literally a street legal racing machine with the only concessions towards legality being lighting equipment and a horn. Hand-laid fiberglass fairings. Aluminum fuel tank. 408-lbs. incredibly strong, lightweight Titanium connecting rods. Single-sided swing arm from Honda’s endurance racing program… this is absolutely the crown jewel of Honda production motorcycles. There was simply never anything like it before… or likely ever will be again. Truly hand built by HRC in Japan by a small dedicated staff of high-ranking Honda employees. No corner cutting or regard for cost ever entered into the equation.
This bike is 100% in running condition, the mileage that is on it was to keep it mechanically sound, I have maintained this bike always with a certified Honda technician, All services have been done. To me I believe this to be better for the motorcycle than just being shoved in a corner and never ridden. “Keeps the blood flowing” The powerful liquid-cooled V-four is completely untouched. It is 100% stock and ‘as-delivered’ from the factory almost 20 years ago.
This iconic motorcycle is still stunning in appearance and is sure to draw a crowd even all these years after its original introduction. Prepare to be bombarded with questions and admiring stares if you opt to ride this one. Surely one of the finest condition low mileage RC-30’s left in existence.
To sweeten the deal even further, included with the purchase of this motorcycle are tons of extras and rare memorabilia including Factory brochures, Portfolio which includes full reviews from 1990, the original tool kit, all of the OEM Warning labels new in packaging, new OEM upper triple clamp, new molding and rubber for around the headlights, new heal guards, Honda parts catalog, extra owner’s manual, a original set of OEM tires, an un-built Tamiya model, RC30 clock, the correct original rear wheel stand, and all that you see in the photos. Please note that everything is being sold together as a lot… I’m not interested in selling off bits and pieces at this time.
This motorcycle shows literally as close to ‘showroom new’ as one is ever likely to find. The small amount that it was ridden was always carefully and maturely by an adult rider. There will be absolutely no disappointments with this rare RC… it is in EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION… what you see in the photos below is exactly what you will receive. No trickery or ‘Photo shopping’ whatsoever. I simply believe in complete divulgence and wish for the buyer to be completely thrilled with their purchase, as I’m sure will be the case.
Any and all additional questions are welcomed prior to the close of the auction. Local pickup in Northern Ohio is preferred but will assist buyer where possible. Please do not inquire regarding the reserve price as it is not considerate to other prospective buyers, but rest assured it is set at a market-correct value, particularly in consideration of all the extras which are being passed along to the new owner. It is not an inexpensive motorcycle, but this is a virtually irreplaceable RC and will assuredly prove to be an excellent investment for the astute collector.

If you have any questions are concerns PLEASE feel free to e-mail me.

At post time bidding had been brisk to say the least. There have been 11 bids so far and the bid sits at $14,100 with the reserve not met. As the owner states, in not so clear terms, he isn’t going to give it away. If you want it you should be prepared to pay “market” for it and I can’t blame the seller one bit! This is one rare piece of exotica and anyone bidding knows it. You can check out some older listing from RSBFS.com here for $ reference, but bottom line is you better saddle up because this one appears to be the one to have.
