Click on image for the auction link. What: 1994 RC45
Where: Sun City, Arizona
Why: 0-mile RC45
Price: Current bid $41,100
UPDATE: Bidding ended at $71,000 but the bike sold for $90,000 in private negotiations.
The rarest of the V4 family, this homologation special was available to U.S. buyers for its first year of production only, with only 50 made available in this country. This is production number 52. The bike was on display in an East Coast dealer's showroom for many years before being acquired by its first owner in 2002 and by the current seller in 2010.
The RC45's rarity pretty much ensured that bikes sold outside the racing world would see little road time and this one takes that to the extreme, showing less than a tenth of a mile on the odometer. Personally, I'd rather see it doing display laps at the Barber Vintage Festival every year, but such is the reality of private collections.
I would expect this one to go well north of $50,000 when the virtual gavel drops. Auction ends Feb 5th.
