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.

The odometer shows 953 kilometers (592 miles), which represents distance covered since the build. Total mileage is not known.
