I don't think i'd like to own it. I'd feel guilty riding it, scared to death of crashing it.

As nice as it is to keep everything perfect, it is sacrilege for a bike of any kind to have never been ridden!

[Teflon-Mike]

$24,000? whats that in sterling these days, and how much were they brand new? Seem to recall they were something daft like about £10K for the Original, numbered limited eddition versions, if that's one of them, it's not apreciated much in value over 20 years!

Could be a 'bargain'...... but, just as well I dont have £15K knocking around, or it would be a dilemah crisis of nervouse break-down proportion! I mean, its BUILT to be ridden, but its only worth what it is becouse it hasn't been!

Would love to know the bike's history. I mean how does a bike or car end up this way? Are there seriously private collectors out there who buy bikes with no intention of ever riding them?

I couldn't have a stable of special vehicles and not use them. Does not compute.....

Always liked these......don't remember them when they were new though as I was 6!

what would the bike need to run? Even though its pretty much new id imagine all the fluids would be junk, tyres, hoses etc would be perished etc?

I heard from a friend of mine in the trade that there are warehouses in the USA full of forgotten about still crated bikes that were never sold.
Recently a few wartime Harleys turned up in full military liverage that never hit the road and were put into storage because the war ended before they were allocated.
I recently saw one of these for sale, brand new with delivery mileage only.

There was an NR750 and a VFR750F, brand new in crates, shown on here a little while back.

Pretty sure they both went on sale, not sure how much for though.

Either way I would have an NR over any form of VFR, the engine is

Oh, man, that's one nice bike. Back in 1990, when I first saw one, I completely fell in love with it, and it's still my favourite bike of all time, even now. I just think it's the prettiest bike ever.

Don't like the graphics on the tail though. Much prefer the UK "VFR750R" rather than the "RC30". Still, I guess that's the same as waking up next to Megan Fox and noticing that she has a small spot on her chin...

Hi

UK price new was £10599 in 1990. For comparison a CBR600 was £4499 and a VFR750F was £5799.

VFR800 is now £9525, so compared to the VFR750F a 64% increase. Would make an RC30 £17400. Looks like that RC30 has barely held its new value.

Wouldn't say no to one though. In some ways still wish I had gone for one in the mid 1990s when they could be picked up for about £5k.

All the best

I'd rather the 45. Just because i remember them being raced where as the 30 was a bit before my time.
