What an incredible deal you got on this bike Larry, I was seriously going to try to figure out a way to scrounge up the money to buy this thing. I am green with envy .

I swear to God, if I ever run into a killer deal on either the RC30/45 or R7 I will jump on it like a madman so if anyone in the NE ever runs into a deal like this please post up!

I would have seriously considered going into debt to buy the bike posted here if it were on the right side of the country!!!!

I agree with everyone who has said tho, it really couldnt go to a better home, I have no doubt Larry is going to have that bike looking KILLER by summer time. I just hope he starts up a long term RC30 progress report on here so we can enjoy the rebuild with him.

Wow, after researching the seller even more this weekend I found out this.
Chris Dolan (the seller) was the individual responsable for bringing the Kawi 900 to the big screen in a little film called Top Gun! In fact, he was the supplier of both of the 900's in the film when he owned a bike shop in San Diego.

In fact, this guy is some what of a legend in the motorcycling community around the world. Take a look at the full build story of a fan replicating the his original work from the movie.
TOP GUN

Bro, I believe he's been a member here for quite a while.

And he wanted $18k for an RC30 with black rear/front white wheels and a Kerker pipe back in early 2008.

Funny that he said the RC30's power was TOO linear. Perhaps he wanted something with a little cammier hit and opted for the pedestrian RC45?

I own both a 30 and 45 and your right not even close, the 45 is SO much better, it doesn't feel next model on but quite a few. Having said that though, I still like both

It's 30deg Cels here in sunny South Aus, today I took the 30 out for a ride and tomorrow the 45 get's it's legs stretched.

Will be interesting to see what Larry says.

Hopefully Larry can give us a sneak peak at other bikes he plans on selling.

If I could only have one, the 45 or the 30...I'd probably go with the 45. But once you have one you almost have to start looking to acquire the other one.

THIS is the guy I saw coming down Palomar on the HP2 Sport, what an incredible bike!!! *I almost got into an accident because I was staring at it!

You have no idea how true you are

I like both bikes alot, but here in Aus, a 45 is incredibly rare so when one came up years ago I bought it as I knew down the track getting a 30 would be much easier. The problem is once you have a 30 and a 45 you start dreaming of an NR750

My brother has an SP1, R7 and a 916 SP3, so we have a few homologation bikes between us.
