An RC45 carried Ben Bostrom to the 1998 AMA Superbike Championship, after Miguel Duhamel injured his leg in a crash at the end of the 1998 season. The RC45 had been manufactured only in 1994 and 1995 and sold in limited numbers. The sources used for this page record no other change specific to the 1998 model year, so this page claims none. This page belongs to the Honda RC45 (RVF750R), 1994 to 1995 model years; the generation page and the Honda RC45 model page link to the other model years, so the changes of neighbouring years can be read in order.
