RC30 They cost something like £30k now don't they? Which is about on par with an Agusta Tamburini and a Desmo! EPIC bike though.

My mate had an NC30 VFR400, that was awesome.

The NR750 engine still amazes me.

The NC30 isn't quite in the same league. I wouldn't like to even guess what those 2 bikes are worth in that condition.

A shocking amount I would wager.

'the fuck?!?!?!

I'd say the nearest equivalent to that, car-wise and from a chronological standpoint, would be uncrating/unboxing a brand new E30 M3 Evo and a spanking Lotus carlton.

I love them NC30's. I sat in one at a dealers and wanted to take it home there and then.

One day i will have one, If i did it would be kept in the house on display!

They run. Everything would need checking over, possibly new oils but they'd run.

2 brand new boxed bikes, awesome!!!!

NR750. RRP of £37,000 when they came out!!! The RC is a cool bike, many memories of early WSB races.

But for me, the NR was one of my pinup bikes as a kid. Totally different technology leage in its time.
