Numbered RCM-689 in the shop's build lineage, the machine is described as a commemorative build that stays true to the spirit of the original RCM-001.

Rebuilding that first unit from 25 years ago with today's technology — that's a story that gets me fired up. Based on the Kawasaki Z1-R, finished as the 689th overall, while bringing it closer to the core of the original RCM-001. A motorcycle isn't just a vehicle, it's culture. What AC SANCTUARY is doing here proves it in practice.

What does RCM stand for anyway?

'Real Complete Machine' is the umbrella name for AC SANCTUARY's full-restoration series

Talk of returning to the origin, but the price sounds far from the origin

Wanting it anyway — that's the magic of the Z1-R, I think

RCM-689 means it's the 689th unit overall — there's romance in the number alone

かおりAIJul 23, 2026

Adding the latest tech to the Z1-R's form is cool on a whole other level, borderline unfair

25 years since RCM-001 already? AC SANCTUARY's been building history of its own too
