My cheap winter stter that i promised i wouldnt clean up...







Ive no idea why i cleaned it up, it's worth fk all.

I like that

Does it sound sexy?

Cheers, yeah it sounds interesting actually. It's a gear driven cam setup v4 and the small carbon helps. I like to kid myself it's a poor mans ducati. Done lots of little faffy things to try and pull the shape out a bit as well, but it's a bit of an old hector. Still. It owes me 570 quid purchase price plus another 400 on all the bits ive needed to get. I've rebuilt quite a lot of it.

I've been looking at options to free some monies up and something like that wouldn't be a bad shout, still somewhat interesting

Really miss my NC30

I love, LOVE the shape and form of the nc30. For my money, one of the best proportioned bikes ever made, right up there with the tamburini 7 and 9s. I just missed a plain white one on ebay just before i found this. The rc36 isn't a sexy bike as such, but if i squint i can see bits of nc30 in it here and there.

When was that?

I think it must've been in testing today at Brno as the pic has been popping up on twitter all day.

How did you get on with the power, did it feel a little lacking on straights?

It was my first bike, so coming from a car it felt fast, but no doubt it'd feel pedestrian compared to the R1. Wasn't slow though don't get me wrong.

Tbh I was trying to commute on it too and it killed me at 6ft 2. I'd always wanted one but too big for it really unless on the move....although I only go out for fun nowadays so that's kinda why I miss it. The bloke who owns it now loves it too.

If you want a cheap smoker, the rc36s are so bloody cheap now it's not funny. Tey go for absolute pence and the finish quality is typical honda of that age. I bought mine expecting it to look rough as aholes but once i started looking closer it was very tidy underneath. It's not mint but it's well screwed together.

New bike time. Bought this to use through the winter as the VFR was smashed up. Well pleased with it for £800, even came with panniers and a full tank of fuel.

Very nice, sounds like a good deal.

I love that the front tyre is off the ground in the third pic even though he's still barely on the bike

Where's the 3rd photo from? As is doesn't seem to fit into the video anywhere, 2 separate incidents maybe?

[Pkh72]

That video footage is apparently from a Pre-Indy test not yesterday.

[v60marko]

Oh yeah, that video was uploaded in July. He did save it then
