RC51 Riders in Colorado
The end of winter is in sight and I'm looking to meet some fellow RC enthusiasts. I was looking at doing to canyon carving as soon as possible, pending debris free roadways.

Hey man I'd love to join you! Unfortunately, circumstances don't permit. Keep your eyes open; CO just passed a new statute on mountain riding - x2 the fine for tickets! Guess they gotta keep the revenue up somehow.

Re: RC51 Riders in Colorado
Mountain roads are considered hazard zones now, like school/construction, therefore the tickets cost sticker price x2. Again, this is just Colorado.

Re: RC51 Riders in Colorado
Does anyone know the differences if any in the 00/01 RC51 and the 02's and up?

Thanks in advance

Try the search feature. I am sure that question has been discussed (and hopefully answered) plenty of times before. If you still cant find your answer, start another (new) thread.

Well I dont have a RC51 but i would like one someday.....I have an '02 954 and I would love to go riding. If you are looking for some of the best rides with little traffic you need to come to the western slope. I know some of the best rides in colorado since I did most of them last summer......

The 2x fines apply to all traffic tickets not just the mountains in Colorado.

I dont have a RC, but I have a 954. My brother (Seca II) and I went a little ways up Deer Creek Canyon Road today. Had tons of sand on 90% of the corners. But we have hit up Morrison road a few times and it was clear. I would love to carve with a few other Honda riders.

The SP-2's are uncomfortable...the SP-1's are REALLY uncomfortable!

Still...part of me wishes I still had mine.

Not much difference actually. I think the swing-arm was one change and the throttle bodies another.

If you can't find the answers here, try the speedzilla forum. They have an RC-51 specific section. There's also rc51.org
