Location: Somers, Connecticut
Mileage: NA (dude, it’s a race bike)
Price: Auction, currently $3,500
Okay, so here is something I’m guessing we don’t see everyday here at RSBFS. I have seen a few RC30’s and I’ve seen some legit race bikes. But I haven’t seen both in one bike. Represented here is a Two Brothers Racing AMA RC30 superbike. That’s a string of words I like to see together. The RC30 is a legendary bike. Two Brothers is a very well known name in racing (love their exhausts) and if this bike is actually at all connected with “Fast” Freddie Spencer (two-time world champion), then I think we all know what that could mean.
Here’s some more photos-
Here’s the information from the seller-
1991-1992 Two Brothers Racing RC30 AMA Superbike, this may have been Spencers backup bike/ tire testing but I have no documentation to back this up so Im just going to say it is definately a TBR Superbike.
Kevin Erion sold this 1/94 to one of his riders Chuck Burnnett who owned it for several years and had Mike Velasco rebuild the engine, it was dynoed on Elf fuel showing 132hp @ the wheel. The engine is full of HRC NL0 kit parts and 39mm Keihin flatslides.Runs very strong, I ran it at one Wera event a few years ago so the engine still has very low time. I’ve owned this since 2001 and just slapped on some new Michelins.
Frame is a braced HRC unit with an odd 15 digit vin #, 6.25 & 3.75 HRC mags, vented Nissin rotors, HRC fork internals.
I have NO SPARES to sell and please dont ask me my reserve. Thanks
I will help with shipping if needed, I will build a crate and ship to a port, you will pay all shipping costs, please dont ask me how much to ship here or there, I have no idea off hand.
So this is one of those deals that needs some careful consideration. A legit AMA RC30 superbike? Well that’s about as cool as it gets. A piece of racing history for sure. But, as with anything in this world, it’s worth the time to do your homework. And I would be particularly cautious about any real link to Freddie Spencer without solid documentation or specific proof. The seller is right to acknowledge lack of documentation, which is commendable. I also don’t even know how to begin to evaluate the value on this bike, so the auction will be interesting.
However, link to Freddie or not, this bike could be truly special. Not a factory homologated limited run for the street, but the real deal. It will never see the street, and maybe not even the track again.
And it does not represent racing. It is racing.
If you have the means, do yourself (and all of us living vicariously through you) a favor and check this auction out!

When Freddie rode for two Bros on these, he was near the front in the AMA Nationals but was on the downside of his career and was being pushed back by faster riders and bikes. Although I think he may have won one race on these.(did not Google it yet). Still, this would be an unbelievable bike to own and appears to be the real thing and the fact that Mike Vealasco rebuilt the moto is a good thing (He is the best there is and was Fredies mechanic). I wonder if it has all the HRC factory kit parts now as I’m sure it did then? That might be a deal breaker at the price it will certanly sell for…. if it does not.
five days left, $22k and reserve not met, and no real significant history related to this bike. who knows if spencer even sat on it. not trying to hate too hard, but this is nuts. if you’re selling this bike and you read this post then i apologize, but c’mon.
