RC30 on Tardme

A 700?, or 750?

'76 750cc "C" model. Last of the twinshock ones. Just starting it and warming it up has the heart rate well up and the adrenalin hitting!

OW01 (all years) - 2000 - about 500 per year 89-92 incl
TZ750 (all years) 550-650 TOTAL. 200+ of those were in 74.

Very nice mate!

And you don;t have to tell me about the sound of them. I've still got a collar bone sticking out the front of my chest from swinging on a TZ700 powered chair when it all when bad!

OK, so I am doing some net research on RC30's, and reading this site:

I really like this quote:

Going off topic a little from the OP. Sorry.
Good MCN video demonstrating tyres/suspension $$$ well spent.

He's asking too much. The small headlight, black mirror model was originally a 77hp Japanese market only version. Someone needs to ask if it's been derestricted or is it one of the very few Australasian market ones that made it downunder in derestricted form.

For the record, I think it is unlikely that RC45s will ever be as collectable as RC30s. RC45s could almost be regarded a failure, rather than the game changer the RC30 was.

Failure or not, it was still one hell of a sexy bike. And I bet if one landed at your front door step, you wouldn't put it out for the weekly rubbish collection . . .

Funny you should say that, that's pretty much what he did with his RC30.

You're wrong! It was the yearly scrap metal collection!
