Honda RC30

Also referred to as the VFR750R, the RC30 (factory code name) was the first HRC homologation. Built specifically for world superbike, Honda put immense time and effort into making this bike perfect. Even available in race trim (modified pistons to new camshafts and crankshafts), there's no mistaking that V4 sound. In 2009 three French journalists raced a 21 year old RC30 in the 24 hour Le Mans race, and posted a time 10 seconds off of pole, set by Steve Plater's team on a 2009 Fireblade. Ask any purist about what bike is at the top of their list... I'll bet you get a whole lot of the same thing.
