ok, here is my situation:

I am getting a new motorcycle, and I need some help deciding.
I can either get a '06 600rr, I had an 03 and it was a good bike, so why not get another one?
Or I can get an 03 RC51 with 14k miles, scotts steering damper, two brothers titanium exhaust, PCIII, sliders, and some other extras

The 600rr will be around $7600 plus tax

The RC51 will be $7300-7500, depending on what I can work out.

I have been going back and worth will all of this. I know it should be a little cheaper to maintain a 600, but can I really go back to riding a 600 after having a 929? I've never had a brand new bike, and I know that would be really nice. So I dont know, I am kinda leaning towards the 600, I'll never be able to ride either to its full potential.

So let me know what you think guys.

 

I voted for the RR but it really depends on what your wanting to do. The RR is lighter and probably just as fast (or at least really close to it)
just two completely different bikes

 

and i'm not just sayin' this cuz i have one ... but i'd go with the 600RR...

 

OK..here is an idea...how about u decide ..its your money...your decision...LOL

 

buy yourself the rr and get me the 51

 

well, i can tell you that the rc51 is really lous. I was riding next to one for quite some time, and i had to look at my rpms cause i didn't know when to shift cause i couldn't hear my bike!!

 

yeah the rc's have a sound all their own. one of the guys in our group has one. here's a couple pics from today... both 600RR and the rc present...

 

RCs are very nice, but an '06 RR.... f'n sweet!

 

I think it's time to try a new flavor....the RC51 has got a ton of torque on the low end. It probably vibrates like a **** though.
