Nice! Actually they are Swedish and it's at an MC shop in Stockholm (http://www.mcvaruhuset.se/). We need Tweety to translate the commentary, but the title in the beginning says something like "Giving new in box a new meaning - Two of Honda's true icons unpacked after nearly 20 years in original box"

Check out youtube "NR750 Dropped"!
Looks like he stalls it due to not enough revs and high gearing or hair trigger clutch. There's a lot of internal friction with those oval pistons.
I hope it was his bike.

Actually, you are doing a great job with the translation yourself...
They are talking abit about what the bikes are, and their status, and then the owner explains that they where basicly kept in the boxes to be preserved for the future... He's a collector besides being the owner of a large dealership... He has a collection of around a 100 bikes or so, some more than these that are a wee bet special (Not in the commentary, my note...) They are NOS, never started or prepped... They are apparently going in a display monter in the store... The NS was one of two delivered to the store, one for a customer, one for his personal collection... The RC was "unsold" for a while until he made it a part of the collection...

I saw an NR750 at Cook's Corner, an Orange County motorcycle hangout, about 2 months ago on a Sunday morning. It's mostly Harleys and metric cruisers at Cooks (at least 90% or more), but when these 3 riders came in, a crowd immediately formed around the other 2 bikes. I don't even remember what the other 2 were now, because I was checking out the NR, I'd never seen one. Then one guy came over, and I said "8 valves per cylinder and oval pistons, can you believe it". He said something like "Wow".
The other 2 bikes were cool too, somewhat rare Euro bikes, but not race oriented.
I thought it was funny that the Harley guys were ignoring the red one because it was a Honda.

I was curious so I did a search for any up for sale. Found a 1993 in the Netherlands for 55000 pounds. Yes, that's roughly $83,000 USD. That would average out to about 23 Super Hawks give or take a few.

After reading the comments tweety is right on spot he bought them from the get go as collectors items and is using them as displays for his shop. On another note that RC30 oh my gawd made me happy in the pants (sorry had a few to many whiskey and cokes) but seriously that bike is sexy!!!!!
