Not the best bike to sit around in hot summer traffic though, is it?

If so, I envy you.

I was getting baked on my 2004 Aprilia, and that bike didn't get as many complaints as the RC did about heat.

Exactly this... 10kyr in a 3 month summer, every summer. Sold the bike to get a cbr1000rr, put like 5000 km on it in two seasons. Got the harley new in 08, there still isnt 10k on it.

I thought I would love these other bikes, and I was wrong. I will have another RC51 next year if I can afford it.

Oh, its true. And it does get hot as fuck if youy happen to be in a city in stop and go.

That said, I never use a bike for commuting anyway. I have a truck for that.

If he gets anywhere near that, you can say this is def an exception where you get close to what you put into it in mods. At the same time.. 15k for an 04? that's just insane.

I love the RC51. I'd love to own one. I rode a friend's bike and loved it. Are they gold? Fuck no! Power felt the same as a SV1000 except with a seating position used in midieval dungens. I just like how they look and hte whole vibe to them. But not worth the price people think they are.

It's been a couple years since I checked but there is a Honda dealershiop that still has a brand new RC51 on the floor and 3 in crates. I hope those fuckers hold on to them until they rust.

LOL @ 15K.....

But, if he put it on Ebay, I'm pretty sure someone would pay it.
