Fred Merkel won the Superbike World Championship riders and manufacturers titles again on the RC30 in 1989, and Robert Dunlop won the Macau Grand Prix that year on an RC30. A Pro Squat rear brake linkage fitted to the bike joined the rear caliper to the frame by a rose jointed linkage through the swingarm, which reduced rear wheel hop under braking. This page belongs to the Honda RC30 (VFR750R), 1987 to 1993 model years; the generation page and the Honda RC30 model page link to the other model years, so the changes of neighbouring years can be read in order.
