Great photo of these beautiful RC30s. I had one and loved it. In my opinion this photo really
shows how much nicer looking the white wheels are. I may have to get my '98 VFR wheels
painted white one of these days.
Like a super fool I had one and sold it. Duh
A minor problem is that it was really designed for the track and not the road.
First gear is tall and it overheats easily in stop and go traffic.
I changed the front sprocket and that helped. Never did get the heating problem resolved.
But .... it's the kind of bike that when you come home from a ride and park it in the garage,
wipe it down, and then just stare and adnure it for quite a while. So.....why can't Honda build beautiful
bikes like this today. Most new sport bikes, IMHO, are ugly and hurt my eyes.
The RC30 colors on a 5th generation VFR would look great. I should do it ~
Best looking 6th generation I ever saw!
Now, you need to exchange the stock fairing fasteners to dzus
fasteners like the ones on real RC30 bikes.
You can get them here . . .

When I had my RC30 I sooooo appreciated the dzus fasteners.
I wish the hell Honda would put them on all their bikes!
My dream-wish is for Honda to give us a VFR1000cc bike with this
style (maybe a little more upright riding position), with a RC30
paint scheme. This bike is soooooo much better looking than the
silly new bikes with their wasp tails.
I used the original "lever skins" for several years sport-touring on my Suzy Katana 1100.
They were pretty easy to install, using an air-gun. If you don't have an air-gun you might try water.
I thought they were great and I might try them again on my VFR.
KENDALL, best crude oil in the US. Have used it for years in everything. Change it and OEM filter every 3,000 miles.
Only problem is it is getting harder to find.
