WITHDRAWN FROM SALE - G750UYPA 1989 Honda VFR750 RC30 - One of the modern era's few immediately collectible classics, the Honda VFR750R - better known as the 'RC30' - was created for just one reason: to win the World Superbike Championship, a feat it achieved in the nascent series' first two seasons of 1988 and '89. And while American Fred Merkel was bringing Honda its first two WSB crowns, Britain's Carl Fogarty used an RC30 to win the TT F1 World Championship in 1988 and '89, and the equivalent FIM Cup in 1990. No mere short circuit scratcher, the RC30 and its derivatives proved durable enough to win a hat-full of Endurance Classics too. That this latter requirement was also part of the design brief may be determined from the fact that a quick-release front fork and single-sided swinging arm - essential for speedy wheel changes - were part of an unrivalled specification that included a twin-spar alloy beam frame, 16-valve V4 engine with gear-driven cams, close-ratio six-speed gearbox and four-pot front brake callipers. Indeed, so good was the basic RC30 that well prepared privately entered examples were often able to give the works entries a run for their money. All of which did not come cheap: at the time of its launch in 1988 an RC30 cost £8,499, getting on for double the cost of other super-sports 750s. Despite the passage of time and progress of motorcycle technology, the RC30 remains a match for the latest generation of sports bikes but possesses an exclusivity that none of them can approach. "No other bike from the late-Eighties is lusted after like the RC30," reckoned Bike magazine, and few would disagree. Delivered new in the UK - CHECK LOGBOOK! , this particular RC30 has been owned by the current vendor since 2017 and has recorded only CHECK BIKE. The Honda has been well stored and recently recommissioned after being off the road since 1994. Accompanying paperwork consists of V5C registration document, 2 Keys and MOT.
