I had an 01 RC51 for several years. Very strong bike. Engine is bullet proof on those bike and they are know to last. Ther really are not any known issues. You should know that alot of guys that are sport bike riders don't like the Rc51. The V-twin is completely different than any other sportbike. Pick up is not as quick but the torque is amazing and up over 7k on the revs the thing is like nirvana on wheels. I loved mine. Good luck.

Check for radiator damage. They are susceptible to that from minor tipovers. Other than that they are one of the most solid bikes ever built. You can't break the motors.

I have an '00 RC51. The '00 and '01 are the same model, the SP1. In '02 they improved it with the SP2. It's not my daily rider so the mileage is low at about 24,000, but the only problem I've had with it is the bank angle sensor failed when it was a few weeks old. Other than that, just normal maintenance. As slammp said, not a lot of people like the RC51, but I love mine. It has gobs of torque and is fun to ride but can get uncomfortable if you put on a few hundred miles in a day. But since you have to gas up around 100-125 miles anyway that's not a big problem.

Rock solid bike. Honda reliability. A bit of a pain to work on the engine due to the side radiators. But with 16k mile valve intervals who cares? Gorgeous sounding engine. 02 and later is deff worth the few extra pennies for more power and better suspension. Anyone who hates an RC has never had one and/or has no soul.

Tough choice... I need to find one to test ride. :hithead:

So I just noticed my old goped hidden under a dust covered tarp in the corner of the laundry room where I keep the Ruck :lol: Time to do some cheap repairs and sell the b****. More s*** for the Integra :mrgreen:

That's the guy with the 899 and the carbon kevlar fireblade I keep posting.

Is it bad that I've done that on my cbr? :lol:

It was slightly less muddy though, I didn't drop it either :mrgreen:

Did he just lean a 1199 up against a tree and then casually proceeded to ride it like a dirt bike OFFROAD???? :shock:

Turns out I'm a f***ing moron after all :lol: Could never figure out why after the BBK my exhaust was pouring white smoke even with the proper jetting.... Turns out the the petcock was too tight against the frame and the fuel line from the tank was crushed against the frame.... No more smoke, but I can't get past 20mph, so probably need to go down a size because too much fuel?




Anyway, changed the handlebar setup to a BMX stem.

Closest thing to a before shot I have
