As a result, it is in beautiful condition, with under 5, miles on the clock. It has a CBR front wheel to fit modern tires, but the original is included, along with the original rear. Original owner put most of the miles on it, his wife rode around NorCal. All the documentation is there including original pink slip! The tires are the originals for display. I wanted to try the legendary RC30 so I put new rubber on it and then rode it for 50 miles before it went into the basement.
It really is a piece of rolling artwork, never really appreciated it until I rode it. All gas was removed etc. Photos are not great, happy to do a video call with any real buyer that wants to see specifics…..
The rarer these get, the more desirable and expensive they become. This one is one of the best we have seen, and it has been made ready to ride, display or do double duty. A true sportbike icon, it represents an unusual way to approach production racing. Most of the time, homologation bikes are tweaked and upgraded versions of regular production machines.
You take your basic sportbike platform, then add an adjustable steering head, or flat-slide carburetors, or titanium engine parts, or a different bore and stroke, then build enough examples incorporating those changes to qualify the resulting machine for whichever classes you intend to enter.
Instead, Honda built a low-production superbike that was sold alongside its more conventional inline-four sportbikes like the CBR. A V4 is heavier and more complex than an inline four, since it has two cylinder heads and an additional set of camshafts. But the format contributes to mass-centralization and is much narrower than an inline four, which allows for better aerodynamics. The V4 configuration is great for handling, but it also makes a bike generally complex and hard to work on.
Perfect for a bike that was designed for homologation purposes. Again, making the fitment of modern sport tires difficult. Here is your chance to own one of the most desirable Sport Bikes of this era! The RC45 was every bit as polished and exotic, and used the same basic formula as the RC light and stiff aluminum beam frame, V4 with gear-driven cams, and a single-sided swingarm. The cam gears were moved from the center of the engine as is typically seen in motorcycles, including the RC30, to the side of the engine to improve packaging, while sophisticated PGM-FI fuel injection replaced carburetors.
Titanium connecting rods helped reduce reciprocating mass and magnesium castings kept the overall weight of the engine down, while a slipper clutch helped keep the rear tire from locking up during downshifts.
Well, the RC30 was incredibly innovative when it was introduced, so perhaps the competition from the other manufacturers had just caught up to Honda. Regardless, it was still an amazing piece of engineering from Honda, and one of the most desirable superbikes of the era. This is the very first RC45 model to be brought into South Africa one of only 3 , it was imported brand new.
I bought it from a collector and since then have fitted new tyres, chain, battery and had all the fluids replaced. She rides beautifully and sounds eargasmic, note that this is the full power model as noted by the ED demarcation on the PGM-Fi. All bodywork and the screen is OEM Honda, and the only aftermarket bits are the Yoshi exhaust, and the indicator deletion.
Which are readily available from Honda, and can be arranged. No rust or oxidation due to our favourable, dry climate, and careful storage by myself and the previous owner. Tool kit and paddock stand will be included in the sale. A rare opportunity to own, ride and enjoy the ultimate 90s superbike.
Please contact Justin via email justin redladder. Just were made worldwide, making this a very rare machine. Keep in mind that these are incredibly rare, finding the parts and an experienced specialist to refresh your 0-mile RC45 could be a real headache. This one looks ready to ride and enjoy!
The two machines can be pretty hard to tell apart, and just the smaller headlights and narrower real wheel give the game away without looking closely. Side-by-side, the NC30 is visibly smaller, but has the same sleek, 90s shape, beam frame, single-sided swingarm, and classic graphics. That stunningly engineered Pro-Arm swingarm is heavier than a double-sided unit, but makes for quicker rear tire changes during endurance racing pit stops.
