Looks like it has some nice mods. Whats the history of this one?

Will you be riding it?

It's a Canadian, imported some years ago to the US but the importer was never able to get the title transferred(unsure of the level of effort put forth). The person I bought it from did the legwork on the title and sorted out any issues the bike had and added a few mods during the few years he owned and rode it. It has a tick over 10,000 miles now. I've had it less then a year and have been able to ride it some. One track day and a few hundred miles of twisty roads. I plan on riding it some every year. Too many people put them in their living room or garage and they never get seen by anyone. That's not why they were built and released to the public. Yours belongs in a museum because of its unique history. Run of the mill ones should be seen and heard for others to appreciate. I hope to have it for a long, long time and I also hope to put many miles on it in that time. Parts availability is always a concern but hopefully with AHRMA making them legal, some people will step in and start making consumables again. Ohlins has made a few batches of rear shocks and sold every single one they've made so there's definitely a market out there.

Well its a sad day but I finally did it. This bike is now for sale.

I always thought I'd have this bike forever but after seeing how difficult critical engine parts are to get (i.e. impossible, at any price) this just isnt the bike for me anymore. I want a bike I can ride but this one is just too valuable. It needs to be on display somewhere so other enthusiasts can see it.

Its fully functional and I've ridden it once since the rebuild, in addition to starting it up dozens of times so people can hear it run.

Anyone who reads raresportbikesforsale.com will see it there shortly. I took a bit of a guess at the price. Its by no means a pristine RC30 but it has a different value. I'll also be contacting the Barber museum to see if they are interested, plus a collector in Sydney who has the polished frame sister of this bike.

As an RC30 owner, I just want to say thanks for getting it running and sharing the build. I saw your bike at the Handbuilt show in 2014 and really had no idea of its provenance.
