When the hammer sounded the bidding had hit $92,000 (with buyer's premium). I had to double check to be sure this wasn't pesos we're talkin' about. Two web sites I found had predicted $40,000 and $50,000 sale prices, and my guess of $37,000 is just laughable. This sets a whole new bar in RC30 values worldwide. Granted this particular bike may be the finest U.S.-spec example around, but future RC30 sales will surely be riding this wave for some time. Congratulations to the seller, and "well done" to Bonhams.
