Man, I want one of these so badly!

HondaGalToo · 03-15-2005, 1:45 PM

Yeah, I wouldn't mind one of those myself!

QuikMike · 03-15-2005, 2:04 PM

ya know Chain, I've been lusting after one of those myself...I've already made the decision that my next ride will be a twin...so that narrows my choices down a lot...the "stealth" RC51 is definitely near the top of that very short list....man, that thing is gorgeous!!!

EDIT: I would like to see Honda give the venerable RC51 an update...I know, I know...they probably won't since it's not their racing platform anymore, but I can dream, can't I?

Radial brakes, more aerodynamic styling, upgraded suspension bits, improved ergos, more powerful engine maybe...I think it'd be an attractive package to a niche group of people looking for something different...

Twins are where it's at, baby.

phobiaphobe · 03-15-2005, 2:15 PM

I thought you had a boner for the new Speed Triple? I know I do.

Chain · 03-15-2005, 2:26 PM

I do!

But I'm man-whore. What can I say? I lust after more than one bike.

Is there a bike you don't lust over, other than anything Italian?

sheepofblue · 03-15-2005, 2:37 PM

Hmm '06 in Blue with an Ohlins rear shock stock, 30 lbs lighter. The problem is I will have one before then

BMW's??

I wonder if they'll do a new VTR with the RC motor as a basis. I think there is probably still a pretty strong market for a v-twin sportbike.

I agree, & there's an even stronger one for an affordable V-Twin sport bike.

I meen Geez, not everyone can be like Whipster and afford a Duc.

JAMI6989 · 03-15-2005, 3:16 PM

You don't want one of those. It's overweight, underpowered and only homos ride them. Remember?

Seems like all the I4 riders are getting sick of pulling up to the local posing spot and seeing 10 bikes identical to theirs.

ViciousRR · 03-15-2005, 4:00 PM

I wish I could get financing for the '05. I have been looking for a 2002 or 2003 for a decent price.... Sigh......

And if they ever decide to FI the superhawk, I would buy one.

Harleys and all their clones.

In the end, it's nothing more than heavy breathing over a goodie I know I can't have... finances demand I remain a Suzook guy.

Besides, the busa is a better bike for anything but a track day IMO.

I have one. That doesn't mean that I can afford one.

I ran across a used 04 (I think, the silver-framed Nicky replica) at the Honda dealership today. Has Satos on it, the long Ti pipes, and some other goodies. They're asking around 9K for it. I drooled on it a little...

soon2b954 · 03-15-2005, 4:44 PM

Damn, I thought Chain was going to demand the NWS forum was reinstated!! Never mind, carry on......

Honda should have started building this a few years ago:
http://www.sportrider.com/bikes/146_01_honda_nas/
It would be a perfect replacement for the RC51. The day Honda decides to build it is the day I put a deposit down for one.

Unfortunately, Honda Japan is worse than Mercedes when it comes to their American counterparts designing and building something they couldn't. Honda Japan killed it because it wasn't theirs, just as Mercedes killed the ME412 that Chrysler designed, built and destroyed the SLR with in half the time (although there was/is a list of buyers ready to buy every one of them).

phobiaphobe · 03-15-2005, 4:55 PM

Scrap the 919, retire the RC51, and use its motor and chassis (but with a street bias) to build a mean-ass lightweight street standard.

Point taken, I stand corrected.

Speaking of porn: RC51 with Satos, full Ohlins, Blackstone Carbon wheels, and other tasty bits - http://www.rc51.org/dyno/sato.htm

It's too heavy to wheelie down the highway.

Yeah, that would be either labusas.org or gixxer.com.
