Honda RC500
« on: April 22, 2008, 07:53:05 PM »
Hi guys, this is my first time on OZVMX forum so I hope I am doing this right. I have come across a RC500. Does anyone know much about these ol' girls. Are they a sort after bike and what would you expect to pay for one(it is in very good condition). The bike is about the same age as me, but much better looking. Thanks. Dan.

G'day Dan ,

i think you mean a CR500 not RC500 they are totally different bikes.

 do you know what year it is? 1st model was 1984 and last was 2002

If you can get an RC500 for anything less than $50,000 you've got a bargain.

No shit guys it is An RC 500. It is written on the seat. I think it is a '77. Surely its not worth $50K. But please any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Dan.

I find it hard to believe you've just come across an RC500 unless you're in Terry Good's workshop...

It's a big country but it's a small world. No one in oz raced an RC500 in the 70's and Leisky didn't have a real RC500 til he went to the US in the late 80's.
