So after keeping them in a crate for some 20 years they take them out and put them in a display box. I don't get it. I thought the point of a motorcycle was to ride it. Bit of a waste really. Shame.

i saw this a few weeks ago.
and although im young, and dont personally remember these bikes, i do appreciate thet fine engineering pieces that they are, and personally consider them pieces of art.
and its for these reasons why people like the ones above p*** me right off, a bike is built to be rode, and Honda built these bikes for people to ride and enjoy, not sit in a glass box to be looked at. For Gods Sake get them on the rode and use them as theyre intended. So everyone can enjoy them as they were intended.

Rant over now

Like Matt, if I won the lottery tomorrow I'd be inclined to pick up that RC30, however, it being somewhat exotic, if I took it to someone to work on there's very few people in this country who've spent a lot of time inside those motors. They'd be the ones I'd take it to.

Meh, RC30? Nothing more than an RC24 with a few kit parts. Slower on the 1/4 mile too.

Less than 5HP more[1], not exactly exotic as stock. I'd home service it myself.

[1] And I even have figures, from a 1995 PB special I just found, '88 RC24 - 87.7HP@9700, '88 RC30 92.6HP@12500
