Lol. I had to show it off. It was like a lost dog 😂 The original owner has 3 RC30s. I convinced him to sell this as the other 2 are minter stock bikes and this isn’t stock 😝 I’ve been looking for a few years. Didn’t want a builder as parts are nearly impossible to find

I’ve been looking for a few years. Didn’t want a builder as parts are nearly impossible to find Lovely bike, but that ^ is what puts me off buying some bikes, I've whittled my collection down to four bikes but every one of them has limited parts supply - in fact my 350LC is the easiest to get parts for. I even had the same with my lads 50cc bike, I had to make a front wheel spindle because I couldn't get one. I remember the golden days when you took your 350LC to any one of a few shops in town for repairs and they had everything on the shelf and were two stroke experts. Amazing bike though

Didn’t want a builder as parts are nearly impossible to find I don't see a problem, just buy another one for spares. Agree with Mart, timeless, look as good today as when they were first released.

Shes in the house, Spent a few hours going through it as it hasn't been run in 6 years, The PO changed all the fluids etc, New batter in, charged it up, Fired in a few gallons of gas and it pissed all over the floor, Popped the tank and turned on the tap and the gas was pissing out of the pipes that link the carbs, Pulled the carbs and took them apart, the rubber orings were all rock hard, they snapped when I tried to remove them, All new orings later, checked all the float heights and jets while I had them off, Popped them back on, Bitches to fit!!! Turned on the gas and she fired up, Let her warm up and off for a 15 mile spin, Ran Like a champ, damn thing is fast, soooooooo smooth, Its the smoothest gearbox Ive ever used, just snicks up and down with no effort, First gear is bloody high!!, Then the rest are very close and very smooth, Im in love Look how bloody tiny it is, its literally the size of a 400, The 500s have soo much more room and just easier for me, Im 6-2 and its tiny....

The RD for speed, Its a full race ported engine with 34mm carbs, billet heads etc, It will leave the stock RG in the dust, But I absolutely love the RG as it has upgraded suspension, wheels and brakes, just a class handler, Oh, and loud

And you say the previous owner had 3 of them !!!
Wow, sensational pick up, you’ve definitely won the lottery there, or you had won it and needed to spend your winnings
Good on you, I’ve only ever seen one in the flesh here, great addition to your already impressive collection

If that were my garage, there would be a bed in there.....i wouldn't let them outta my sight. The RC would definitely get to sleep next to me every night. The 500's would get to take it in turns.

Dragged out the Old Gixxer, she was buried for the last 12 years, Cleaner her up a bit, stripped and cleaned the carbs, threw some juice in here and away she went, One of the best bikes ever built, I love this old bird..

Had several slabbies and always loved them great bikes always thought they were a four stroke Lc. Got some lovely roads and views there, are they hugely expensive in the states rc30’s? Seem to be low £30k over here wondered if it’s the same in the US?

Now that is a beauty. An NR750. Mental money for them. Wasn’t there only 300 or something like that of them built.
RC30s make huge money over here. Very limited few imported here, especially if it has a Cali plate. That adds a lot of value.

Be quick stock low miles rc51 are appreciating fast this side of the pond
