RC51 owners chime in.

I want a second bike to really ride. I told myself that this one won't get blinged out or painted. While i want a clean bike to start with this one will not suffer from over modness. (Yeah, that's what i say now) Over the course of the last 2 years, i've made my Busa too nice to really bust some turns and ride the hell out of. The last thing i want to do is low side that puppy because the one fixing it will be me, not some shop.

L-twin 160 hp, 90lb/ft of torque,  and a dry weight of 388 lbs!

(GMbusa @ Dec. 20 2006,19:54) I dunno, the RC just seems alot more performance oriented IMO than the TL. Plus, to me, the RC doesn't feel anywhere near the top heaviness that the TL suffers from.  Plus i like the Honda a bit more. If i don't get the 51, i'm gonna get a ZRX1200.

I had a ZRX 1200 and sold it to get my ZX-14. I love the '14, but I really miss the ZRX!

I have a SV 650 for a track bike..............can only have so many toys.

 

[GMbusa]

I had 2 ZRX1100's at different times, i sold the 99' rex to get my Busa.

+1 on the Duc.The Ducati is 15 grand while a new RC51 is 12k.Yes the maintenance on ducs is expensive but id rather buy that anyday than spend 12k on a RC.Nothing against RCs but they are a bit overpriced (new ones) considering how old the technology is.

GMBusa, I'd be willing to sacrifice my arse and ride the RC gdub420 has from CA to your house... I mean it would be for the sole purpose of helping you out man, forget the route would take me by every track in b/w CA and VA

The new Duc's are supposed to require less maintenance, and the cost from stealership is supposedly less as well. I may be moving to Germany for my last 3yrs in the Army, and been really looking at picking a new 1098 up. I'd really like it if they made them in Black, but not for 07, red only

 

[gdub420]

sorry rune its a 03 rc51

 

[GMbusa]

I'm not buying a new bike, much less spending $15 large on a bike.
I'm buying used if i do. I WANT used.

 

[gat0r]

[Busa Dude]

[grabntwist]

The RC is a killer bike. You'll love it. Try ebay locally.
