Race-Winning Honda RVF750 V&M RC45 Available to Buy for Bumper Fee

Motorcycle enthusiasts looking for something a little bit chic and with a lot of racing success should look no further than this eye-catching 1995 Honda RVF750 V&M RC45 although it will leave a sizable hole in your wallet.

The famous race bike is available for a bumper fee of £64,999, courtesy of The Bike Specialists, who are presenting this 1995 edition which has been raced by many different riders, at many different venues and with a lot of success.

This Honda is anything but an ordinary RVF, instead, it's the official ex-V&M Racing (team owned by Jack Valentine and Steve Mellor) machine that competed between 1995 and 1997.

Having been built and homologated to compete in the World Superbike Championship, the bike was first raced by Steve Ward for Castrol during the 1995 season while he also finished third in the TT that year.

Terry Rymer also enjoyed success aboard this bike in 1995 as he took 1st place at Brands Hatch before Ian Duffus had a 4th place finish at both the TT and the NW200 in 1996.

Road racing legend Michael Rutter then took the bike to a 2nd place finish in the Senior TT in 1997, as well as 1st & 2nd in the North West 200. The bike was raced in the V&M race colours during the 1996/97 seasons with the bike’s last win arriving in rainy conditions at Brands Hatch in 1997.

The bike has spent the last 15 years sitting within the current owner’s collection and it has been serviced and maintained to running condition. The bike also got a run out at a recent Goodwood meeting.

The bike is supplied with its paddock stand and a file that includes all the bike’s information including handwritten notes from workshop overhauls, race information and numerous magazine articles.
