The annual Autumn Stafford Sale took place October 13 & 14 in Stafford, UK. As one of the big international auctions, it's closely watched as a gauge of the coming winter auction season. The sale's winner this year was a 1933 Brough Superior SS100 "project" which sold for $209,801. Might be the most expensive project bike ever. For us commoners, there were also a few more pedestrian V4's in attendance with two significant sales....
1992 NR 750
$80,923
Showing only 875 miles, this example was originally a Swiss-market model. It still has the original battery, which is probably a good indication of it's condition.

1989 VFR750R (RC30)
$61,441
No self-respecting auction would be complete without at least one RC30. And this one is pretty special. It's never been used, showing only 1.5 miles gained from pushing around various collectors' display rooms in Denmark. The selling price confirms that RC30's values are on the rise once again.

1992 VFR750F
No Sale: value estimate ~ $3000
I have no idea if this color scheme was a factory offering (probably not) but this third-gen looks pretty good. It came from the Netherlands with 41,600 miles on the odometer.
