A black '06 to be exact. What ever you do don't go look at an RC if you aren't going to buy one. When it fires up you will want one.
I am reminded of the RC being a very solid platform, both in its handling AND its crashability.

my friend owns an RC51 with alot of modifications he does track alot....the rc51 sounds awesome i dont think there r bikes out there that sound better than the rc... i raced him in a straight shot with my 08 1000rr all stock nd put like 4 bikes on him..so if ur looking fo more power i think rr is the way to go nd my bike wheighs 440 wet nd handles like a 600...but still the rc is a badass!!
