rc51
you would probably hate the bike over all. runs hot all day on your knees (side radiators), extremely hard ride position, hard seat, parts are very expensive, over heats a lot, in the end you probably wont be to happy. most rc51's are way over priced. i had two of them hated them but liked them. hated them more though. cbr is a better bike anyway

Yeah. I miss the inline 4 action at times . The RC is extremely different . Being different is Kool !! Half the people that sees it don't know what kind of bike it is . Parts are Cheeper then 929 or 54 parts because they made the 51. For 6 years . Rear seat cowl for 29 oem is hundreds $$. I got paint to match rear seat delete 40 $.

Yeah the 51 is a totaly different ride . I only keep 2galons of fuel in her lol that way it only feels like a tow truck going threw traffic not a Mac truck lol. Dare to be different get the 51 . It's sounds awesome and handles well ! Gearing is tall too 95mph at 5400 rpms . The hot set up is 15 41 gearing. Also if you get one get sp2 02 and up sp1 had problems with fuel injection and only has one cooling fan . Tune ability also is better with sp2. Let me know I'll help ya out if ya get one . I did everything to mine from valve ajustment to engine ice and other stuff.
