On May 14, 2022, a gorgeous, never-registered, 1990 Honda VFR750R RC30 set a new U.K. auction record. The bike in question was in the hands of private collectors since it was new, was never registered, and shows just two of what the auction house calls “push kilometers” on the odometer. If the photos are to be believed, it’s in very pristine collector shape.
When new, it sold for £8,499—which, when adjusted for inflation, is equivalent to about £16,972.29, or $21,183.54. That is, of course, not what this extremely rare RC30 sold for. So, what was that magic number? A cool £65,250, or about $81,440.
