Got some spare coin?
Mister Biggus
Always wanted one of these fawkin things.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220513603415
HONDA RC30
VFR750RR SUPERBIKE
THIS BIKE IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM, NEVER BEEN RACED, NEVER BEEN DROPPED....
EVER
ALL THE PAINTWORK IS ORIGINAL, THE BIKE IS IN AMAZING CONDITION
11600 ORIGINAL KMS
FITTED WITH FULL STAINLESS EXHAUST AND CARBON MUFFLER, SOUNDS
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING (or original exhaust)
THESE ARE A BIKE FOR THE COLLECTOR, BECOMING VERY RARE, especially in
unraced, and never dropped condition
THIS BIKE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT, IT IS AN ABSOLUTE DREAM TO RIDE
I HAVE OWNED IT FOR A FEW YEARS NOW AND DONE LESS THAN 1000KMS ON IT
UNFORTUNATELY THIS BIKE MUST GO
I CAN ARRANGE CRATEING AND FREIGHT AT A VERY GOOD RATE TO ANYWHERE IN
AUSTRALIA
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY REASONABLE QUESTIONS

851 Tricolour instead. Wish I'd gone the RC30.
Interesting the price. I think that was pretty much what the price was
back then, but obviously worth a lot more. I think the thing that
poked me to the Duke was that it was the time of the Cagiva/Ducati
merger and they decided to slash 20% off the price of the entire
Ducati range. Which meant the 851 went from $26000 down to something
more sensible. Wish they hadn't done that. Lovely looking design.
Sounded sweet as. Cunt of a thing to ride. Put me off Ducatis for
life.

Is that when, having decided that you'd like it, but you can't afford it
and so you're jealous, you ask him or her, "Would you please do me the
great favour of leaving to engage in copulation?" instead of just saying
GAGF? Dunno! Cheers

If it is in good nick with low ks that could be a brilliant investment. The
problem is you then can only park it in the lounge room and polish it instead
of riding it.

On the back wheel! Much tighter turning circle. Too easy.

If you haven't seen Dougie Lampkin do it, you should (and if you have
it's probably time to watch it again anyhow).

investment!
There seems to be heaps of pristine, low-mileage ones around and I
really doubt they'll ever appreciate much past $20,000 without being
"Joey Dunlop's" or "Fred Merkel's" or something notable attached to them.
Only time will prove me wrong but I can't really see it happening.
(RC45 might be more of a chance. Assuming you can *find* one!)

It's true there's often one for sale somewhere in the world, the wonder of
the internet, often in the UK or France but they're rarely ,if ever, under
$20k Aus.
They you've got to factor in freight from over there, GST and any other
charges associated with importation, if any.
A good example landed and ready for rego will cost a lot more than $20K. At
least I hope so...

Well yes, if only because you have to buy it overseas and then spend a
year overseas with it.
As they are a post-85 bike that's the only way. You might be able to
pay to get someone to jump through the hoops to be able to certify it,
but I think the year overseas is a better bet.

I've been led to believe that any pre 89 model is registerable with an
import approval and a roadworthy.
I'll tell you if that's the real deal in a week or so.

Used to be if it was over 15 years old, then they changed that to
pre-something, I thought it was pre-85.

Does it matter? If you had the means and the bank balance to import an
RC45 as an investment, the last thing you'd be wanting to do is devalue
the bloody thing by riding it on the road.

I'm with you there Kevin. If I want an investment I'll buy stocks or real
estate.
I buy bikes to ride. The value I get is from the experience not the resale
