Brand new 0 miles Honda RC45 for sale in the UK.
Just when I thought the brand new 0 miles RC30 from Doble Motorcycles in the UK was an incredible find, they hit me with a double whammy by offering a brand new 0 miles RC45 for sale as well!
This bike has never been used. It has been in a private collection.
This is a BRAND-NEW un-registered UK example.
It comes with it’s original genuine Honda single-sided paddock stand.
Accompanied with it’s original owner’s manual and service book.100% standard in every way. MINT, MINT, MINT!Oh crikey: Grown men broke down in tears when this arrived in the showroom; overcome by the presence of greatness; (no not you Mr Doble). It’s an RC45. One for the museum or your private collection; it would look a treat parked in a corner of your living room! Then again; how could you resist the temptation to register and ride it. What a dilemma. This totally stunning piece of Honda racing history is up for grabs. Pawn everything if you have to: It’s an investment and you’ll want it bad!
The RC45 is the successor to the legendary RC30, but unfortunately it didn’t achieve the same level of success as the RC30. Nevertheless, it is still an iconic bike and is on many serious collectors’ list of bikes to have. Personally, I like the looks of the RC45 but the RC30 is more iconic with its long list of race wins.
If you are seriously considering this RC45 for your collection, then the $39,000 asking price is probably not an issue, in which case may I suggest getting the matching 0 miles RC30 as well – these two great motorcycles deserve to be together in the same collection!

Crikey, I was just going all misty-eyed over one of these just a few days ago.
It would do well in a museum or collection, but personally, I’d want to ride it. It’d just be wrong to ride this pristine example on UK roads.
[…] would be curious to know what “top secret” things have been done to it. Phil posted a UK RC45 with zero miles that was listed for $39,000, making this bikes price of $35,000 agreeable as it is […]
I also have a 0 mile RC45, one of the last in the US.
It is a timeless classic for the discerning collector
