2 owner completely Original (not restored ) 8000km
First owner from new to 2021 not registered since 12/86
Second custodian just had all perishables replaced and re registered for enthusiast regular riding.
Launched in 1981 as Honda’s first homologated production road/race bike they were raced on tracks by Wayne Gardner and Co dominating production racing for the next few years. The bike was so successful in the Castrol 6 hour races in Australia that the organisers sought to have the bike banned!
An initial batch of 100 or so unfaired RB bikes was rushed to Australia in 1980 to allow it to run (and dominate) the Castrol 6 hour production bike race. The bike was sold to other selective markets during 1981 – 1050 RB bikes are claimed by Honda to have been produced globally, 1982 – 1500 RC bikes, and 1983 1500 RD bikes and as Honda’s first Production Race Bike with such limited numbers they are now highly collectible and sought after bikes.
