If we ever meet you can ride it (if I still have it)...I think you'd be pleasantly surprised at the old Gix.

Oh I have no doubts I'd like it.

02-25-2008, 12:45 PM

raw torque is great, but HP is lacking compared to the other liters, for the gas milage i get it should be alot more peppy, the stock rc is very bogged down by emissions and epa placed valves and soft rev limiters, just cant get good performance, so you must do a bunch of free mods just to get what shoulda been stock performance and ridability in the first place

and its very heavy

and no, i am no where near the bikes potential, its all just arm chair racing :lol:

one thing ill never get tired of is that v twin sound

once you get past the gas milage, its a fucking great ride, more then 99% of the riders can handle, fun factor is a 10, i have always had a thing for fpx's 10, prolly one of the only bikes i would consider trading it in for

NeonspeedRT

02-25-2008, 12:58 PM

I've always loved the RC-51. It's an awseome sounding bike. I almost came close to buying one instead of my R1. I've heard of people getting 50,000 miles or more easily on the RC. It's supposed to be a very reliable bike.

Drewps...what kind of HP does the RC put down and what about torque?

dReWpY

02-25-2008, 02:48 PM

124ish hp with slipon but like ~70 fp torque

marko138

124ish hp with slipon but like ~70 fp torque

Thats not bad...but I expected both numbers to be higher.

Maybe the RC isn't on my list anymore. :lol:

I saw a dyno sheet for a Buell 1125R....141hp and 80 ft lbs of torque. Thats what the fuck I'm talking about.

Damn right I would. I wish the Japs would keep these around. The TL's. The RC's. A V4 jap bike would kill.

Speaking of V4's....anyone seen the new V4 Aprilia? :drool:

We've had a V4 Jap bike for awhile. The Honda VFR. Granted it's not the most powerfull, but it is a V4 none the less. Hopefully Honda updates it for 09. The VFR is actually a blast to ride.

Because I like the way hondas feel better... I really like my 750 but I think its to wide around the tank (it feels like I am riding a horse) and I think it lacks in power. I like the way hondas ride they are narrower, better reliability, and I want a liter bike so eventually a CBR 1000 will be in my garage. Plus this year it is rumored that the CBR is going to king shit of the open class.
