If you’ve been looking for a cheap entry into the world of RC30 exotica your train has arrived.

The story goes like this-

This is a Japanese domestic model RC30 that has been converted to US spec due to an unfortunate accident. The seller is in need of some quick cash and looking for a quick transaction.

Here’s the story:

> I love this bike, but I’m in a bind and it’s got to go. NOW!
Bike’s in good shape, but I wrecked it last fall.

On the bike, the wreck damaged the following (everything repaired/replaced):
– fairings (lower was not on bike when crashed)
– seat unit
– mirrors
– gauges
– front turn signals
– switchgear
– brake & clutch master cylinders
– side stand & boss
– front & rear sub frames
– front wheel
– right rear set
– #3 (right front) header
– tank has dents in both sides, but no creases and no rash (I’m hoping to not deal with that)

Amazingly, the headlights were not trashed, but since my spare fairings, sub frames, and switchgear is all US-spec, I had to swap to the US headlights too (the US headlights are larger in diameter). So, it’s a Japanese bike, but with US headlights, switchgear, gauges, and upper fairing. I had to change the left switch electrical plugs pin outs to make them ‘play’ with the Japanese wiring. The harness was NOT changed at all, just the US-spec hi/low and turn signal switch plugs. As noted in the list, the frame-boss that the side stand bolts to was also snapped off. I had my garage-mate mill up a replacement and tig-weld it into place. It’s a good, clean job and I have pictures of everything. The #3 Yosh header (right front) got a nasty long flattening dent in it which I solved by cutting the header at the dent and pounding both halves back out to round, then having garage-mate weld that back together too.

I’m throwing in the Japanese manual, and if it’s wanted, the damaged (though repairable) original tail piece. The lower fairing was not on the bike when wrecked and of course goes with it now. I really do need the space, but also need the money, so I need to do a deal on this one asap.

Clean title, a stack of receipts and dyno graphs showing 117 hp (versus stock of 88).

I’ve collected a bunch of stuff over the years and as is the case with all fabulous machines, I love them each. I’m not a hoarder in general, just an avid enthusiast who’s happened into good grace a few times. the Japanese bike has the longest and richest sentimental and emotional attachments, but it’s also got perfect paperwork, a long documentation-history, and is the only one currently complete, running, and in great shape.

In the early 2000’s the California owner had most of the work done on it, including a full Dan Kyle engine rebuild. In 2003 he sold it to a great friend of mine who flew out to Cali and rode it back to New York. A year later he got laid off and sold it to me. It was my third RC30, but the only one assembled and running. I cherished it for two years, then went through a garage-purge and sold it to another good friend (in ohio). In 2005 he too got laid off and I bought it back. I can’t afford to keep it but i am starting to see a recurring circle coming round.

Pretty lengthy history and rebuild, but it looks to be complete and ready to go. The lower fairing isn’t being shown in the photos, but is intact and was not involved in the accident.

The seller says it runs out straight and looks good other than the couple of tank issues. The other item worth mentioning is that the cluster on the bike reads 1 mile and is US spec.

I can’t stress enough that if anyone is interested in owning a RC30 on the cheap you need to contact the owner ASAP. All offers are being considered and the bike must go!
