Opinions on this RC-51?

However, it is one of the only 1000s I've ridden where you could full throttle in all gears up to 160mph without the front end coming up. Made for better racing IMO.




Triple I love how you add the tax and shipping in.

Like I said, with the 2 model years, both bikes full of fluids, the SV only weighs 4lbs less and makes over 10 less hp. I don't see how the RC would get run down by one.. the bike was Honda's superbike platform.

the rc needs two things right off of the bat, a vacuum tube that deactivates the flapper valve and the soft rev removal kit, once those two things are done the bike is great, but the addition of a PC helps smooth the hiccups

I thought it had plenty of pull AND top end as-is...

the gearing was way to tall in first gear imho
