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 RC30.
James took this bike to the next level by also adding some touches to recall Joey Dunlop’s #3 RC30 race bike.
Other modifications include:
Tyga RC30 replica bodywork. “The bodywork does not ‘bolt on’ and needs channeling in the base, the RC seat needs modifying, too.”
RC30 rear wheel running on a NC30 axle.
The forks are modified units from a Honda VTR1000.
The dash is from a Honda CBR900RR, the speedometer drive is for a 900RR so it shows a slower speed than actual while riding.
Tyga exhaust.
Replica Brembo RCS19 clutch master cylinder.
“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.”
Manufactured in May of 1994, this example is VIN: JH2RC36U1RM400169.
The odometer shows 19,921 miles.
