Honda NR750 & RC30, Newly Uncrated

Honda History
A Honda motorcycle dealership in Sweden has just discovered, lurking in the dark recesses of the shop, one each of arguably Honda's ultimate motorcycles ever built. The rare historical motorcycles were still in the original crates and perfectly preserved.
The Honda NR750 was the road-going version of their 32-valve oval-pistoned racebike, and the Honda RC30 was a beautifully handcrafted expression of their Vee-four superbike legacy.
Inside, each of the Honda NR750's four oval pistons are fed by eight valves and attached via two connecting rods.
The RC30 debut was in 1988 but only in Europe, and quickly went on to win two World Superbike (WSBK) Championships titles under the talented Fred Merkel. Honda later brought the RC30 to an eagerly awaiting America in 1990.
This subtitled video shows the V4 bikes being unpacked and cleaned ready for display in the showroom.
Comments
I watched the You-tube video, which was nice. I fear that your brief article was a bit misleading. The tone of it gently suggests (to me anyway) that both of these bike were forgotten. After viewing the clip, I would say that the owner knew they were there the whole time. Together, I think these two would have been close about a hundred thousand dollars retail. I think any motorcycle dealership owner would probably not forget that.
