Icon of modern motorbikes listed for auction
AN icon of modern motorcycles has been entered into a Dorset-based auction. The Honda RC30 is estimated to sell for between £30,000 and £35,000 when it is sold at Sherborne-based Charterhouse's auction at Haynes Motor Museum on March 13. This model rolled off the production line in 1988 and was registered in the UK in 2007. In that time, it has recorded just 3,565 miles on the clock.
