- Carl Fogarty famously rode an RC30 to victory in the TT World Championship in 1988 and 1989
- Twice as expensive at £8,499 as its other 750cc race-replica super-sport rivals
- Bike Magazine wrote 'No other bike from the late 1980s is lusted after like the RC30'
- This example was built at the start of 1992 and fitted with Ohlins front forks
- Raced initially by Simon Crafar in the UK Championship in 1992 with numerous top ten finishes
- Transferred in 1993 to Phillip McCallen who raced various short circuit events but found the bike difficult to ride and scored no major successes that year
- Fitted with a Tony Scott tuned NLOB engine, kit radiators, flat sided kit carburettors and Ohlins front forks
- Presented in mostly unrestored condition and still finished in its factory Castrol colours
- Forming part of a private Collection, unused for last few years so will need some recommissioning before use

- A usable piece of Honda motorcycle racing history
