We are very proud to offer the opportunity to own this rare beautiful example of the Honda VFR750. Our example is a 1 Owner UK registered model that are rarely seen up for sale in this condition.

The Honda RC45 is already a legend. But this one was built to full HRC NL5 specification and it’s something else! This replication, professionally built by Dave Stephenson of Honda Britain in 1998, at a huge documented cost of around £47,000 was assembled using nothing but the finest new HRC NL5 components, sourced from Clive Padgett and directly through the World Superbike team based in Louth. Built to full OM Senior / Formula 1 specification, the goal was simple: the ultimate balance of performance and reliability. This road-registered, race-spec RC45 takes that philosophy even further.

The bike has a suberb history in both ownership and service history that is fully documented along with a full breakdown of work carried out (too in depth to list everything) within the bikes massive file of receipts and information (one of the most comprehensive historys we have seen). Originally bought brand new by boxer Chris Eubank whose name appears in the original service book and V5, he then sold the bike in 1997 and that owner was the man behind the £47,000 upgrade to turn it into the creation we see before us. The next owner bought the bike 300 miles after the conversion and in 2006 it was placed in a air conditioned storage unit and serviced regularly before being fully recommissioned in 2023.

The man behind this stunning example, Dave Stephenson worked for Honda Britain in the 80's and 90's and during that time developed, built and maintained the all conquering IOM and NW200 RC45's for Steve Hislop, Joey Dunlop and Phil McCallen. Winning every IOM senior, Formula 1 and NW200 from 1994 to 1998.
