Aussie RSBFS intern Chris has come through again. It is apparently raining RC30’s in Australia and he found the proof.
The info on number one:
My RC30 is one of the finest you will find anywhere. I have meticulously restored it to showroom condition and it is both mechanically and visually almost perfect. It is completely original with all fairing panels and components being OEM. All alloy parts have been refinished and look like the day is was released. I have it club registered, however up until last year it was fully registered and is roadworthy. It was a JDM (Japanese Domestic Model) and was imported to Australia in around 2002. I have appropriate engineering certification for registration, however if you plan to club register it, this is not necessary. The bike comes with the original tool kit and Sharp HRC replica RC30 stand, and Honda bike cover. It also comes with a spare after market belly pan painted in OEM colours. It is rare to find an RC30 in this condition, as many are quite ratty close up – but not this one. The closer you get, the better it is. I am a classic bike collector and have another RC30, so that’s why I’m selling this one. If you’re wanting a classic, a top notch RC30, you should go no further than this example.
It’s got a BIN of $28,000 Australian
Wow, how much can paint change a bike!? It apparently was one of a small run of bikes painted this way by a Japanese dealer.
Read on:
The real deal the Honda RC30 built solely for WSB racing. This is a No Reserve auction and it this price it will sell – this bike will appreciate in value!This is from the first batch Honda produced (Japan model) with a very rare and unique Freddie Spencer tribute paint scheme. The quality of the paint is OEM and from what my research has told me a small batch were produced by a large Japanese dealer for select customers. At this listed price you could return it to original RC30 Red White & Blue which was my original plan but after seeing the paint scheme in the flesh I prefer it and decided to keep as is…..The bike has been fully de-restricted with EU spec ECU and other necessary changes to meet full EU / Aust power specs. The bike is in excellent condition with only minor stone chips. I have fitted a full titanium Ladybird race exhaust system (photos with lower fairing off show quality) that give the V4 a very unique sound – a $2,200 investment alone.Pics of the engine casing show that there is absolutely no crash damage to support no racing history (a rarity on RC30’s) and whilst I have had this bike in my collection for several years I have only done 100km of riding (I should be shot for that) as it has taken pride of place in the house.The RC30 is currently unregistered but would only require a road worthy and maybe a new battery to have it on the road in no time. Would also recommending fitting exhaust tap to the headers given the heat generation (will provide tap for free)
The “Ladybird” exhaust. That has got to be a Japanese company with a name like that.
The bidding on this one is starting at $17,500 Australian.
If you haven’t found it already, here is an excellent site for you RC30 needs.

” All alloy parts have been refinished and look like the day is was released.” No, they most definitely haven’t. Look at the lower fork legs on both bikes- they’ve been bead blasted and/or painted flat silver. Correct factory original finish on the Showas is a bright machined (turned) look with a gloss laquer clear coat. I wonder what else he has refinished or changed that we can’t see.
Yes,sixthgear.You tend to see that a fair bit on RC30’s,especially if they are exported from Japan,as all their bikes tend to suffer badly from corrosion due to the Japanese climate/atmosphere.Both these bikes are Japanese grey imports into Australia.It has a negative effect on the value of the bikes,as Australian delivered RC30’s are very hard to come by and are rarely offered for sale.
Auction over so quick? Did you scare the seller sixth?
Australia got about 145 officially imported by Honda MPE.
…I wonder where they all went.I have only seen three Aust. delivered bikes for sale in the past seven years.
Stashed away in peoples houses 😉
I know of several imported bikes currently for sale in australia. As well as a few rc45
[…] the same seller in Australia with the two RC30's for sale, he's also offering this very tidy Japanese market OW01. These models are slightly restricted and […]
