Ebay auction number 331973141541 What: 1990 RC30 (VFR750R)
Where: Camarillo, CA
Why: Because RC30
Price: Auction sale with reserve
Here's a seller who's depending on the reputation and legacy of this very collectible model to all but sell itself. With a sparse description and mediocre photos, a buyer is left to bid and hope for the best. The bike shows 9300 miles with a Micron exhaust mounted and a couple of boxes of unspecified "NOS and extra stuff."
This bike has averaged a tank and a half of road time per year during its life. The VFR750R is turning the corner where they're becoming too valuable and rare to rack up miles and gather patina on the open road. And that's a shame. This bike is a thoroughbred which was born to run, not to stare at in a lineup of other old motorcycles. There were 300 RC30s imported to America and only for the 1990 model year. As values creep upward owners will be more and more reluctant to risk them on the road, denying themselves and the rest of us a glimpse of something special.
Update: "No longer available" on the eBay listing. Probably sold via another site.
