We posted a great looking RC30 in Australia just a few weeks ago, and while there is no question it’s a solid bike, there were lots of notable discrepancies being discussed in the comments section regarding it’s originality and need for additional history. In fact the amount of expert evaluation displayed made Mike and I…
From 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 can be spotted easily by the flush mounted headlights. Nontheless, with 500 produced worldwide it’s still a very collectable motorcycle. It has an opening bid of $13k AUD,…
Update 6.16.2013: Back on eBay after we first saw it in April. Price is down $3k with a buy-it-now of $22k. One bid of $15k but reserve is still in place. Just a few hours to go but could be a great Father’s Day gift 😉 Links updated. -dc We don’t get the chance to…
Sometimes it really amazes me what will show up on Craigslist. In many cases you have to ask yourself, did I strike gold or is it posted there for a reason? In either case this OW01 deserves a look because at $14,500 I think it’s the lowest advertised example I’ve seen since we started the…

Links updated, -dc From sunny Miami, Florida comes this very rare RC45. You might think that the pictures look familiar, and you would be correct: This seller originally tried to sell off a RC30…
For Sale: 1994 Harley Davidson VR1000 Unless I am mistaken, RSBFS readers are pretty much a collection of homologation junkies: RC30, RC45, OW01/02, and the like. Well here is a homologation bike that we see even less frequently than the Japanese variety; a US-born bike that never make it to the top of the big…
For Sale: 1990 Honda RC30 VFR750R It must be springtime. Because besides the normal flowers and weeds that seem to spring up this time of year, drool-worthy homologation collectables are springing up in the market. We have seen more RC30s lately than normal, undoubtedly driven out by the improving weather and the improving financial promise…
