| Which RC to buy? I am thinking of trading in my 98 900 RR for a used RC51. Can you guys suggest a good year to buy. I know all the colors are pretty much the same, but I believe there was some improvements somewhere around 2002? Any suggestions as to which year and why? Also, if you can provide a what that particular year is worth to buy? Thanks. Note: I just saw some describing the differences between the years, but any recommendations as to which to buy?

| Re: Which RC to buy? Best deal is going to be on an '02, but get the '02-'04 model, and don't overlook the new Blade, it's just as good but not a Vee, and no gear driven cams so the exhaust note isn't as sweet. But the handling and stability is on par  |

| Re: Which RC to buy? I don't like the new blade, I love my two 954's and currently selling my 98 900 to get money for the RC. I love the sound and look of the RC, and have always wanted one. |

| Re: Which RC to buy? I'd give the Aprilia Falco a hard look before getting a RC unless you just wanted it for the Track Last edited by Keith1K : 07-19-2004 at 12:47 AM. |

| Re: Which RC to buy? Either get a well modded 00-01, or a less modded 02+. Glad to see you are back in ?Canada, so I dont have any competition when I buy my new one soon.  Chris |

I have been busy working here in Denver. I am not home that much any more, that is why I want to sell my 98 in Toronto, and buy an RC down here. So I can ride here, and ride at home. Have you replace your bike yet? What did you get? | |
