yes, thats MPH

 

who the hell has time to take a pic at 176 MPH?

 

Just a thought, but it may be a tank mounted camera. Haven't you ever seen a star boyz movie????

Damn, Now I remember why I wanted to get a 2002 RC51. They are badass.

**Mental note, the speedo is reading 176, but it is actually doing about 10% less mph. Unless they have a yellow box installed *******

Bingo, looks a lot like my bullet camera's perspective when mounted on the tank. This was prolly a screen shot from a video. I will be doing some helmet videos soon.

 

Starboyz suck. Wink 1100 is the ****. Maybe its just that I get to ride with him and the star boyz look down their nose at me.

Wink outrode that idiot with the blue hair anyway. 5G buy in. Wink rode a wheelie around corners and ****. At i think 75... I cantremember it was in FL bike week.

 

How accurate are the rc51 as of power and handling?

 

"In 2000 Honda debuted the brand-new, twin cylinder, RC-51 Superbike. Duhamel won the Brainerd, Minn., round on the new machine, remaining at the top of the Superbike all-time win list with 23. Honda standout Nicky Hayden took four 2000 season wins and five additional podium finishes on the RC51, and finished the year as runner-up for the championship. "

In 2001, Nicky Hayden won all of the last 4 AMA Superbike races on an RC51. But the championship went to Mat Mladin on a GSXR-750. The RC51s finished 3rd and 5th overall in the points standings.

The production version is a race replica bike. I am not sure what you mean by 'how accurate' but...its a badass bike.

we only get 2 a year and they are usually sold before they hit the floor. We also have a 50% crash rate on them. sold 4, 2 crashers for repairs.

 

What do you mean by what Honda rated the power at and it's real world power?

I know most manufacturers tend to embelish their rated wet/dry weights and their hp/tq outputs. I would take a look at dyno runs from magazine articles and such. I think motorcyclist has a list of all the bikes they have tested in the back of their mag, and it shows what they dyno'd the rear at. Then i would compare it to the specs on honda's website. If i had the mag with me at work, i would check it out.
