Built by James Mott of Hand Made Racers in Australia, this is a Honda VFR750F (RC36) that has been extensively modified to become a tribute/celebration of the legendary Honda RC45.
James took this bike to the next level by also adding some touches to recall Mick Doohan’s #11 RC45 Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race bike.

OKI tribute livery.
Aftermarket turn signals.

“It was built for fun, it’s not a replica, it’s a lookalike. I like to call them ‘celebration’ bikes – comfortable and quick enough for fun.”
