History of The RC Name
Use of the RC name stretches from Honda's entry onto the international motorcycle Grand Prix stage in 1959 to the present day. In recent years the prefix has also been applied to a few production motorcycles, which have been created for homologation purposes. For works Motocross bikes, there was an additional M suffix.
In the late 1980s, Honda began to enter its production motorcycles in Superbike, or production-based, racing series, such as the new FIM Superbike World Championship. The most successful of these was the VFR750R, which eventually became better known by its model number, RC30.
