They have pretty much everything else ^_^

Including Wayne Gardners bikes :peace:
I have seen this exact view in this picture of the Honda museum earlier this evening on telly...@discovery channel...they were broadcasting an documentry about Mr. Soichiro Honda and his dream! :smile: and inside footage of the Hamamatsu factory in Japan (with production lines of the current CBR600RR).

PS: stickshift: great find of the '85-'88 RVF400's! I have a cantonese movie that I bought recently in Hong Kong...in which they are racing at the '87 Macau GP, there appears one NC30...maybe in TT-F3 trim, not sure.

I went to Motegi for the gp in april and they had a road vfr400 but none of the bikes you mention. Unbelievably they didn't have an RC30.

A few of my pics (I took about 500+) http://www.flickr.com/photos/26681694@N ... 434341545/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I haven't got around to putting more on there yet.

Here's some more; http://www.koutoushinku-giken.com/fz_hp/nsr_rvf_top.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Well found some footage here

(see around 5m11s mark, movie not superb, starring with Chow Yun Fat on 250cc's).

It looks like NC30 but I think its an RC30 cause the system looks like the 750's and also then Chow is on a VJ21 and then the Slingshot Gixer 750 for the wheelie, i could be wrong :whistle:

No direct to topic, but this classic one is not 400cc but 250cc NSR's...(starring with Andy Lau):
Full Throttle.
