Great magazines! I've already scanned them, and the two earlier RVF editions. I've also scanned the RVF400 book. Too busy translating NSR250/NSR500 books at the moment, but one day I'll do the RVFs.

I've also scanned the first of my RC45 HRC manuals, but unfortunately I only have Japanese versions. I've also got an original Honda Sevice Manual to scan, but again, it's only in Japanese.

I'll be putting them all up in PDF format on the main site eventually. Some RC30 manuals are already uploaded, but I'm still working on the format, and don't have too much time to dedicate to it at the moment.

RC30 HRC manuals here: https://force-v4.co.uk/hrc-manuals/ (The 1988 version is how I intend to present them all eventually.)

RC45 Owners manual here: https://force-v4.co.uk/manuals/

Guys - I am happy to translate for you all, time permitting. If someone can send me the scans, then that should be enough. Let me know! email is [email protected]

Oh and a little about me - I grew up and was educated in the US, but now I'm living and working in Japan. Bought my RC45 last year and have been slowly restoring it. Parts are an issue... but of course I am also curious to learn even more about this machine!

Thanks for the offer Aki but I learned how to use Google translate... however I will keep your email handy in case I run into problems...

I lived in Japan 79 to 81... Can you guess who I'm posing with??? (hint) his Dad is world famous...

Larry - ok not a problem. FYI I have noticed that Google translate is WAY better than it was even just a year ago, especially in the Japanese to English translation. But anything else please don't hesitate to reach out if I can help.

I am obviously not enough of a Honda fan to guess who your friend is, care to enlighten us?
