I know you are right, but it seems only a few bikes were maketed under their factory codes, despite all having one. Here in the UK most people have never heard of an RC31 but would have heard of an RC30, a link I like to keep alive.

My wife calls my RC51 "The other woman", and I have the T-shirt to prove it!

It bothers me when people ask me if "that RVT" is mine.
It's an RC51, or RVT1000R, but realistically, you'd sound a bit odd saying RVT1000R out loud.
