Hey everyone! Today we will begin with a new series: YoungTimer
we will be talking about bikes with an age between 20 and 30 years and which are already relevant for collectors
there still are some great bikes, such as this Honda RC30, one of the best looking superbikes
YoungTimer is a well known name for vintage cars and there's even a newspaper for that kind of cars
we want to do the same for bikes from the 80's and the 90's, not only superbikes, but also smaller motorcycles and even mopeds.
With us we don't have the Stig, but we'll call him Stick and he told us that he's 40 years old and that he loves this bikebut, what about a Malaguti Tubone?
well, yes, of course, I've got that one as well!
we will test here every kind of motorcycle,such as Enduro, trial, mx, but they mustbe interesting models
this is a Honda RC30, a 2nd series, 1990, you can recognize it from the red wing, since the 1st series was golden, this is the best looking road bike!
VFR 750R, this is its full name, RC is the neame for all the racing bikes and this one has been had built in 3500 units, 1000 have been sold in Japan, while the rest in the rest of the world, that's why collectors love it
the design is still amazing, similar to old time racing bikes, it has an aluminum frame, it's a replica of the Honda NSR500 of Wayne Gardner
it has a single arm swingarm with an 18 inch rim, while there's a 17 inch rim at the front
the engine is a 750 cc V4 unit with an output of 112 HP, which was a great power, especially for a weight of 175 kg
the engine has titanium rods, which was something amazing, a double radiator, which was curved, like on racing bikes, it was a real racing engine
the fork is racing oriented with a quick release, just like for the real wheel, perfect for endurance races
This RC30 has an official racing HRC muffler, as the badge sais, and it's for track use only
this is an American version, so it has a miles speedometer, it's absolutely racing, with top speed od 300 kph. We have said everthing about it and I'll now let Roberto Tresoldi say something about it and about its palamres
he's one of the biggest experts about Honda, he has some amazing bikes. Which are the strengths and weaknesses of this RC30?
The RC30 is a milestone for Honda. IT's a racing bike, amde suitable for the road. IT has been introduced in London in 1987 and it has shocked the world
Strengths: innovative solutions such as the cascade gearbox, quick release fork, racing cockpit, single swingarm
weaknesses? Hard to tell!
This bike has won everywhere it has raced: The 1st two World Championships with Fred Merkel in 1988 and 1989, then TT, AMA SUpersport, 24h of Le Mans and 9h of Suzuka
This bike is for collectors, for those who love sportbike. It's a must for collectors
According to me, a strength of this bike is the design, it's very reliable and it's still amazing to ride
Weaknesses? This bike is very expensive but assurances tend to have difficulties to cover its full value in case of theft them the quotetions are extremely high, over 20k, but it should be a good investment
we're on Como lake to test this bike on road but.. .can I take a ride as well?
this is a great bike, let's go!
I'm soexcited to test this Honda RC30, The 1st racing bike which is street legal, like a SBK
even the riding position is track oriented, I'm 185 cm tall and I can't fit in, the handlebar is very low, 1st gear is very long, it's suitable for track
It has an amazing sound, it's very light: 185 kg and 112 HP, I'm riding in 1st gear at 6,000 RPM, amazing. It's a bit hot, but I love it
Riding this bike is like driving a Ferrari F40, amazing and listen to it sound, but the braking isn't too strong
it's very agile on twisty roads and very fun, the shift is extremely smooth with an amazing output
I love it
I'm running at 12,000 RPM, it gives me shiver, I'm not using it on track since it's way too risky for such beautiful bike, you've got to take care of it
Fantastic, it dances on turns, it's still a dream bike
this bike has been developed in order to win inside thew Endurance and the SBK championship and it's a real legend now, despite the 18 inch rear rim, which is pretty unusual
thank you! It gave me shivers, it's like driving an F40, it's still amazing to ride. I hope you've liked this test! What would you like to see? See you soon!
