What is the hype with these bikes? $30k for one of these things ? Are they just collection pieces due to them being rare or is there more to it?
RC30 was ahead of it's time, the RC45 has stuff on it that the newer bikes are just now becoming standard. Take in the fact that they are essentially race ready (maybe not championship, but more race ready than if you were to buy a new gsxr1000), and sold to the public in limited numbers makes it a gem. I guess in 25-30 years someone will ask the same about Ducati's MotoGP replica street bike.....
I found some articles on these bikes last night. They are pretty cool bikes to say the least. I am more of a user than a collector but they are an interesting part of Honda history.
Hey Dbl Eye: I thought you were trying to bait us in or something LOL! Those two bikes are what us v4 brothers and sisters dream will be under the Christmas Tree this year...and every year we don't get one! BZ
