Honda VFR750R

In 1988 Honda’s RC30 cost £8499. It was almost double what a GSX R750 cost and didn’t make any more power, but the V4 brought new standards of finesse, ability and engineering. Hunts Motorcycles (0161 4321303) have one that’s never been run, with original stands and literature. Just £59,995.
