Yeah man, poor ole RC51. Never did have much torque or hp. Them pesky scooters always flying by, riders laughing away at the poor guy on the underpowered sport bike.

Nice bike! Magical Racing and Sato makes incredibly tasty stuff! Sato rearsets are a work of art.

When I was buying my 2004 CBR600RR, I remember sitting on a RC51 in the showroom. It was the one with Nicky Hayden's autograph on the gas tank. It was quite tempting.

Wicked bike.

The local dealer has a box stock brand new 2001 RC51 on the floor right now listed for $11,999.00.

Wish I could indulge.
There is no such thing as a bad motorcycle.
