Something isn't right here!!

Check out this RC30 for sale on ebay.
The exhaust is on the wrong side, no wait, it has dual pipes and there is almost no info offered about the bike. The seller has zero feedback too..

Hmmmmmm

Certainly doesn't look Kosher, the light blue in not HRC is it?

Anything built by HRC is going to look like it!

 

yeah, the paint on the tail section looks wrong. My guess, wrecked, rebuilt with parts that "fit" and repainted/or cheap chinese fairings.

 

Plus the bike is in San Juan Puerto Rico...How convenient

 

Could it be a VTR1000 dressed in borrowed clothes?

I am no RC30 expert. I was just thinking of a Honda with two pipes like that.

 

Frame sure looks like that of an RC30.

 

That's an NT650 Hawk that was rebodied as a RC30. I was looking at doing the same thing with a 90 that I found but was to wrecked to rebuild.They used the same frame but the 650 was a semi naked bike.

 

Still have my doubts with this RC 30. But I would have to disagree with it being a nt650. I was tinkering with a Hawk a few years back and for some reason a few pointless details still rattle around in my head: The RC30 (including the ebay one) has a bolt hole in the frame just past the midspar weld. As well the rearset mounts are different. The front fork looks somewhat legit for RC30.

 

That's not a nt650 frame. Look more closely at a photo of both.

 

The pipes appear to be Supertraps based on the stamped logo but why a dual system? It ruins the looks for no benefit.

The seller also wants a hefty deposit and has provided almost no info on the bike so I for one wouldn't go near it. The location, as already stated, is probably the biggest issue. If I can't drive it or trailer it home,, no thanks. I just thought I would flag it here so we could kick it around a bit.

 

Lower is a bit crooked and mounting hardware is missing when you zoom in and look, it is a pile.

 

yeap, a ripe turd, It is missing the 1/4 turn d-zus fasteners. Colour looks weird, pipes are bizarre. I think he is giving all the Puerto Ricans a bad name by selling garbage like that! PR's need love too ound:

I did sell a rebel 450 petrol tank to someone in PR for 450 dollars :thumbsup:

 

Vin number is two digits short - needs to be 17 numbers!!!!!

 

That same bike is for sale on the Nigerian version of Craigslist.
