Anyways, I know Ben and I have talked about 'em before, but I've always been a huge fan of the Honda Hawk (RC30). It's a bad ass bike. Even badder when done up in my favorite style. beat to shit race bike with no regard to purist cliche'.

yeah, I like the bottom.
RC30 was a 750 v four though
my bad. it was the RC31.
yep, definitely the bottom one...looks like it wouldn't take much $ to make that happen either.
nope. He made the tank himself and now it has a different swingarm and spoke wheels and thats prob a grand-ish. The bikes themselves are pretty spendy tho, not many of them around and only made for a couple years. Precursor to the RC51.
Eh...shows what I know about 'em...nothing.
no! not what I meant! maybe 3k into that bike total, thats not much at all! (esp. for a competitive race bike.) I'm a honda nerd fo sho.:)
Ahhhh...dang interweb confusing what we say! Very cool though..
I was surprised it'd have an RC number, since I'd always thought it was for race bikes only, like the RC45 and RC51. Turns out, according to wikipedia, even the pacific coast had an RC number!
Take a look at this link:

It seems like the letter part of the Honda code has something to do with displacement. But the RC51 breaks that idea. Now I am obsessed with finding out what these codes mean!
So the answer is right on that page, but you can't see it because the text color is set to the same as the background color. Great choice.
Apparently these comments have a limit of 4096 characters, so I'll put the text that explains what the hell Honda model numbers mean in a different post...
