RVF is a 1998 later RT colour scheme, it was one of two brought in the UK brand new with 0 miles on the clock from DK. It's technically classed as a UK bike, it came direct from Honda JP to the UK in a box where as most were in Japanese dealers before hand.

It's back to standard new, used to have a Moriwaki Twin Stack, HRC Carb Kit, HRC CDI, Graeme France Set Up, Nissin Fireblade Callipers, Double Bubble Screen, Solo Seat Cowl and a few other goodies.

I was never to kean on GSXR's but at 6ft3 I needed something a little bigger because all my ride outs are 300~500 miles, the RVF coped just fine but every now and then when going to Germany realised I needed a bigger bike to take the stress of my knee's.

Good thing is its a unique one, like been different so bought a Yellow & Black one, non of this Blue & White malarky LOL.

Here's some pics;

Hi Craig!, Rvf is same as what mine was, brand new shipped over in crate 1999 on a T plate, (£5200 OTR) ohhh i do miss her.
Although not to keen on the gsxr, i agree that the yellow & black is a better colour than the boring blue & white.
Is that your Ibiza in the background ? same colour as mine.
just made a sig, what ya think (first go)

Aye thats my Cupra, used to have an Imperial Blue 1.6 Sport and a Black Magic 1.4 before that. Been on the look out for a really tidy RC45 for years but the one I found that I would have the owner wanted close to £15k for it!!
