Yeah they were a fantastic amount of money at the time Iirc the rc30 was cheaper but the race kit you needed to make it competitive was more expensive than the owo1 race kit so they were more or less equally priced when kitted
The rc30 i have had since 1995,bought from a mate who bought it from new and was a minter. The owo1 was rebuilt earlier this year from this
God I bet finding parts for ghat wasn't easy fella, it still looks very tidy accept the damage in the pic
Just looked at these again on my lappy the Iphone screen dont do em justice. So anyway you say these are your pride and joy, which one is your pride??? and which one is your joy lol
Loving both those! could have bought a fairly nice ow01 back in 97 for about 2000 i worked at PDQ and we had one in on sale or return....... but all my mates had blades so i bought a 97 blade instead! Stupid boy!
I'll always regret not buying an RC30 when they were affordable! I've had this one in my ebay watch list for a while just incase my lottery numbers ever come up: eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace I still wouldn't want to pay that much tho!!!
Me and arthur were looking at that last night mate! Great ain't it... Rather get a used one so I wouldnt mind ragging it! Lol Lovely though - but def lotto win money.
Yeah couldn't agree more it's the one to keep in the corner of your living room that's for sure, looking for a tidy ish used one your still looking at upwards of 12k
Right we need a list off all your bikes with corresponding pictures I'm starting not to like you in a very jealous but good way if that makes sense lol
a lad i know in falmouth who rides a blade also has an rc30 and is dad also has one. i think it was in the region of 14k ish a year or 2 ago. very rare it comes out but gets stupid amounts of attention when it do,s. they both turned up at hayle night earlier this year but you could go another year before seeing them again. although i,m a honda man the owo1 do,s it for me more that the rc.
The rc30 is a great bike to ride on road and track,although i have not done a track day on it for probably 10 years.It's got a maxton shock which is a very impressive bit of kit. Although it is well down on power compared to modern stuff it is deceptively quick and the noise with the full system is awesome. If Honda ever made a V4 sportbike again i would be straight in with my deposit !! The OW01's,were bought late 2010,one a good one and one crash damaged i rebuilt it over last winter but crashed at Cadwell in April on my trackbike damaging my right arm. Ineeded a couple of ops on my arm so was unable to ride again till Oct so have ridden them very little. First impressions are that they handle very well but need to be revved a lot harder than the RC
