The RC45 was released in 1994 with much fanfare, after the RC30 had shown its age and been handily beaten by the Ducatis. Its engine had a reduced stroke compared with the RC30, 72 mm bore and 46 mm stroke against 70 mm by 48.6 mm, and Programmed Fuel Injection in place of carburettors, in a setup very similar to the NR750. The United States received the model for its first year only. Problems dogged the RC45 when it was first released in the World Superbike championship.
