Default All I can say is wow about this bike !!!

I never have been a fan of the V-Twin until last Sunday. Last Sunday was the first time I have ever ridden with an RC-51. First off the guy had Jardine pipes. Whoa !! Talk about one sick sounding machine. There is this 10 mile stretch of road me and the boys hit about 6 miles from my home in Franklin TN that is the most bad azzed road I can think of. Long 110 mph sweepers with good short straights between each curve. The road is like super-glue and there is very little traffic. Anyways this RC-51 I was riding with was just eating my 4 banger up. every time we would exit a curve its massive torque would just rip away from my 954 it was so awesome. I hate to say it but if I could do it again I would have bought Hondas God given machine to a curvy road the RC-51.

Yea, the twins are getting so cometetive now that its starting to kill the 750 I4 class. The 1000 cc twins are now above the 750 4s which used to be classed together. Now that the twins run w/ the 4s in equal displacement, there's not class for the 750s. The ducs aren't too shabby either. Very streetable powerband and competant chassis. I've gotten my **** kicked by a couple rc51s. Seems they're gettgin quite popular. I know a lot of guys trading up from 600s. Even a few guys trading in their 929s and 954s.

AHAHHAhahahahha. Who care'sif its 1:18. As long as its got a motor, tranny and wheels I'll ride it. You are talking about a pocketbike right? Maybe I'm not right in the head and you're talking about a scale model. hmmm
