Can anyone id the bike below? Its a honda obviously, but can anyone positivly id the exact model? Its titled RC30 on Flickr, but I dont think it is. Obvious differences are RVF bodywork, usd forks and the swingarm pivot is wrong. I thought it was an RVF, but then why put vfr decals on? And again, the frame around the swing arm pivot is wrong.
I'm thinking its a 400. Any ideas?

Looks like a half breed NC35/NC30 to me in that USD forks can be retrofitted, so can the tankairbox mod (which Tyga or something do a £900 part for).

your right the frame and swingarm pivot look wrong, could be the HRC racekit frame and swingarm, wouldnt surprise me atall if they were quite different, could also be a harris special frame? what with the massive harris sticker down the side Wink

hadnt heard of them dooing frame kits for the vfr though so if it is its a one off or limited run

Those are'nt RVF fairings at all, look like aftermarket replacement VFR fairings to me, I don't know anything about the RC30 at all but the disks, wheels and rear mastercylinder are certainly interesting, aswell as the Ram air ducts Thinking

Are you sure its a 400??could it be a VRF750..RC45???Rare but awesome and expensive!!! Twisted Evil

Looks like an original VFR750 (RC30) to me with retro fitted USD forks, if the owner has been to Harris they could be Ohlins suspenders. The frame & fuel tank are far too big & completely a different shape from the 400, also the RC30 was ram air hence the intakes.

The RC30 wasnt ram air like that and the RC45 tubes are different.

It's also not a 30 frame, judging by the big harris sticker on the fairing the frame is a one off.

Looks like an RC30 to me with a Harris frame and Harris tank.

Definitely RC30 fairing and mirrors.

Well first thing i though was that looks small

So is it just me, the camera angle ? or is it really that small ?
