What's been your favorite bike?

I loved the motor on my RC51 but never trusted the suspension and I would get cramps in my hip and my wrist and back would get sore.

The front suspension was great in that when you made a adjustment you could feel just a few clicks. It was bad in that I always felt like I was just waiting to lose the front. It just never felt planted. That may have been the stiff chassis more than the suspension.

I used to call my RC51 stable mable cause it took a lot to turn it and it hated tight corners. Loved the large sweaping corners, like a on-ramp. It was made for the large tracks of europe and thats what it was good for.
