From the World Superbike Championship to the Isle of Man TT
The Honda RC45 was developed as a homologation model for the World Superbike Championship and was a direct development of the legendary RC30. This special machine was first used in 1995 by Steve Ward in the famous Castrol colors. It later moved to the V&M Racing team, which was led by Jack Valentine and Steve Mellor.
During its active racing career, this RC45 achieved several significant successes:
- 1995: Terry Rymer won the race at Brands Hatch with her.
- 1996: Iain Duffus achieved a strong fourth place at the Isle of Man TT and the North West 200.
- 1997: Michael Rutter rode the bike to second place in the Senior TT and first and second place in the NW200.
- Last victory: In 1997, the bike in the classic V&M Racing colors won its last race in a rainy round at Brands Hatch.
