I want an RC51 badly. Any inputs on whether or not it's a reliable and fun bike to ride? The CBR's have amazed me in terms of reliability and bang for the buck. But I'm wondering if the RC51 is in the same category. Is there specifics that I should watch out for if I buy one used? Like for the CBR's, cct's, R/R's etc. I want to venture into V-Twin sport bikes and see for myself why they are so praised. I could read articles and books all day but I want one! Good/bad bike? I have a feeling someone on this forum just might happen to have both a CBR and RC51...

 

I say too much power for anyone with less than 5 years riding experiance. They are fast and nimble and a good way to lose control if you are not ready. But yes, I know two riders and they love it and both go through back tires in a season doing track and road. Great bikes!

 

Gotcbr has both. If he doesn't post here, shoot him a PM.
