Rc51 or 'busa

Such polar opposites. I don't know how you could consider an RC51 and a Busa on the same shopping list. I guess you could split the difference and get a ZX12R, I've always liked those. Black and gold please.

They seem to be cheap too! I've seen them for sale locally for around $4,000 no bs.

'busa is easiest and most practical choice for "my" wants
rc is most visceral

there are no "clean" RCs out here

either rashed or high mileage, or both, askin good $

and the clean one's are askin as much as the '08 busa i like (blue/gold, like karls)

Nah - I've seen 2 or 3 nice ones (tricked-out, clean, and fairly low-$) show up in the ADVrider flea-market over the past few months, and I've not even been looking. Just gotta be patient & willing to travel a bit if necessary.

If you get one, I'd recommend going with the '02-up SP2 model (though there aren't big differences).

yeah, it'd be an '02+

maybe it's me, but i like full disclosure on an ad

emailed 2 diff peeps about bikes, niether mentioned "dropping" the bike in their ads, only in direct emails........
