It will be interesting to see in thirty years time what the panigale values are in comparison to the Rc30.
Not sure I agree. He said even an SV650 would kick the RC30's arse time wise so I'm not sure what value comparing it to the V4R there is
That why I thought it would be interesting, as that's what the vid was all about, comparing the 2 after 30 years. And his SV comment was a bit off the mark, the RC30 has approx. 45bhp more, 33 KGS less weight and will handle much better... it was MCN remember...……….
Just found this: there's not going to be much in it considering the 30 year gap me thinks @doogalman might be able to put some perspective on it... "For that money though, the RC30 had a full house of race oriented features such as a slipper clutch, 16 gear-driven valves, titanium connecting rods, one-sided quick change rear wheel, quick change brake pads, Showa race suspension ad infinitum. Indeed, one of these bikes still holds the outright lap record for motorcycles for the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit, set in 1993 at 7:49.71 by Helmut Dähne."

the headline did seem a bit pointless - glad i read this - now I definitely won't waste my time watching it
I simply wouldn’t have one at the cost people ask. Simple as that. If it were what it’s worth in my mind, 5k, maybe.
I'm like you and will NOT pay over the odds for motorbikes......period but many do as a 998R just sold recently at my local for a whopping £31K
At least it didn't have the dubbed on, bloody awful 'music' they used to use to ruin all their reviews.
