This little gem caught my eye !! .... Yowza .... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280908262...l?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=280908262108&_rdc=1
Wow!! Now that is worth £40k IMO. Even if you was loaded to own it and ride it, or store it as investment you can't go wrong....
About 20k mate (or was that the nsr) so not the best return, but I reckon you'd get another 5k in 5 years? Not that if I had the cash I'd EVER sell it...
£20k - 24 years ago ...... Blimey! I Had no idea, what's that in todays terms.... ? Wow, that is a lot...... Not such a good investment then, still, hell of an iconic machine...
Awesome, they have some nice bikes, like this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280908232936
That was never £20K 24 years ago, more like £7K It was the NR750 with Oval Pistons that was big bucks Anyway that RC30 is chicken Feed compared to the NR, hows £105K grad ya? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-NR-750-/260896998430?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item3cbeac441e
Don't be daft, the nc30 was nearly 6 grand new then, the 92 blade was 8 I think... And I'm sure the nr was 30? I might be wrong though - was only 11 at the time
i remember them back in the day think it was brian morrison who raced for honda on the RC30,Whit on the suzuki wi Phil Mellor,Darren Dixon wi,Steve Spray n TREV Nation on the Nortons,getting pissed in Louth,could be wrong HAPPY DAYS!
They're just down the road..............think I might go and pretend I'm intrested and have a sit on her!!...........amazed that they,ve got something that rare there,it's only a small shop tucked away out of sight.
.....................and you'd probably halve it's value by doing so! That's the trouble with doing this, the Bike ends up like a Painting.
very nice would love to own it,but like you say totally wasted just sitting there might as well just have a picture. Give my old man his due he has got a 45 and is out on it all the time with me he even rides it to the race tracks
I had a ZXR750 H2 back then and the RC30 was launched at about the same time, as preformance bikes etc were featuring and comparing them at the time. I'm sure the ZXR was around £5600ish and the RC30 was more in the £12K region
Yeah I'd love that but as said its a waist of money if you don't ride it, bit like a fine wine that never gets drunk! If you rode it you'd Prob never pay the money BUT you can't ride a classic bike and expect modern performance and razor feel or in my experience it can shatter your childhood dreams, I.e. never meet your hero's! But nine the less I real NICE bike...
As said a beautiful piece of kit and history but a waste. Either run it in and ride it to the stops or put it in a museum. Enjoyed the video in the link too, very emotional. By the way my Blade in '92 was £7250 new
Also it could be priced at 50k but unless someone puts the money on the table it's not worth the asking price? Lots of NR's sit with large price tags but I've yet to see any sell... loads of d16s for sale too make you wonder if people are getting ready for the new RCV?
