Honda's Rare World Beating Super Bike - The Honda VFR750R RC30

In this Rare Motorcycles documentary, we go into the history of one of the coolest motorcycles to ever come out of Japan, the iconic Honda VFR750R, RC30.
This homologation special racer bike was the most race-worthy motorcycle you could get for the street, so much so in fact that nearly half of these 748cc monsters still found there way back onto the track.
This video aims to provide a short history of these unique and rare motorcycles so you can learn about them in a quick, easy to digest video.

It's a V4 !! Do you know anything about bikes?

[@barondugger]

The RC30 was a liquid cooled engine, so your engine comparison is a joke.

[@davidcamarillo5971]

It was also a V4, unlike the image shown.

[@Iowa599]

Wrong engine!

[@GregoryStrauss-tk7pe]

Cool video, how about the Honda Hurricane??? and the 1982 Honda CB1100RC???? Not one video anywhere on KZbin about these two legends....

I always liked the way the rear swingarm will lopsided with the right side looking like it was just floating there and full view of the wheel

[@alanjollimore4035]

Honda calls it Pro-Arm, single sided swingarm. Used on many of their race and road bikes. Rear wheel removal and replacement doesn't involve chain, sprocket or brake. Looks cool also.

[@paulbarnes6124]

Really the vfr was actually a v4 engine you lost me 😮

[@kitvexed8229]

great looking bike, but the numbers aren't very impressive.. it has liter-bike weight with only 600cc power? i wouldn't pay $25,000 for it.

[@weatherproof1]

it was a homologation superbike from the late 80's so, comparing numbers to a modern bike is dumb. Race kitted versions made 130-140hp which is still a lot for a 750. Full factory motors for the F1 TT endurance bikes were over 160hp. This bike held the lap record at the Isle of Man TT for a decade. You wouldn't even find one for $25,000 unless it's a beat up bike. They sell for close to $50,000 for a decent one.

@weatherproof1 the 01-OW was always more impressive to me and much rarer..
