It's a 400cc version of "The Awesome" aka Honda RC45. Anyone know any particulars about it? I'm just curious right now, but in a deadly serious kinda way

With the low speed limits in Japan, my RC51 would never legally see 3rd gear (possibly not even 2nd on work days). So I'm seriously thinking about breaking her down into main assemblies and sending her back to the states where I'll reassemble her the next time I'm there. But I'm looking for something a little more practical for Japan than a 1000cc Vtwin.

Awesome bike! If you can possibly get it back to the states it'll be worth big bucks. Oh and if you bring it back to the states can I PLEASE take it for a spin? Or at the very least get a picture of myself on it?

When something comes around that I want to do, there is always a way. If I ever make it back to the states, then I'll be in touch. But before I make any promises, I need to track one down first (oh wait, I gotta get back to Japan before that).

Mine too :drool: I'd love to pick either a NC30 or NC35. Hell, I'll probably try to find both. But what'd be tits is finding a RC30 :drool: (never in my life am I gonna see an RC45)

There's probably no way he'd ever sell that little thing, but gorgeous it is.

I've got the RC51, a VTX1300, and I weigh a grand total of 135. I'm a midget astride monsters. And the monster I've got in Japan has some VERY long legs, I feel very sorry for the guys that brought their Hayabusas here. If I'm afraid of not getting out of second, I can't imagine that beast getting out of second.

But I'd like to smaller bike out here that I'm not gonna need to worry about. Something that can do 40kph without a care and can do 200 kph without a problem, hence my search for the NC30/35. But what I'm curious about now is something that I need to keep an eye out for i.e. "buyers beware"

he actually said he was looking to for around 5k. claimed parts sourcing and wear and tear of it being his daily. also said his bro had an rgv250! anyway the best place to spot titled grey market bikes in the states is http://raresportbikesforsale.com/ or use a craigslist search client.


say, ever thought of a cbr250rr?? those suckers SCREAM. 20k redline stock and its a 4 stroke so easy on the maint

I owned a NC30 for a bit. Fun little bike, but it had no title and parts were just about impossible to find locally. I sold it to a guy from north FL for 6k.

So you had one?! I think parts may be a little easier for me to find out here. Do you remember it having any issues?

If I can find a 250rr, then I'll see about picking it up. But the RC and NCs come first.

I've ridden both the RC-30 and 45...

Who wants to touch me ?

I said... WHO WANTS TO EFFIN TOUCH ME?

Ok .. sorry ..

The RC30 was at MidOhio back when i was... oh god.. like 14. Got to do a parade lap on the track on it... during which i was yelled at for excessive parade lap speeds.. I have a bad habit of that. I thnk I've been fussed at by someone after every parade lap i've ever ridden on. Except the ones when I was a little kid on my YSR.

both are hellaciously fun bikes. very smooth power delivery and extremely nimble. I'm not a van of the Vs... but I'd own either in a heartbeat
