| Re: Pics of the new bike Fresh out of the box. Completely stock. A seat, Cans, PCIII and maybe a 42T rear sprocket are on the way. I dig it. |

| Re: Pics of the new bike Perhaps you've answered this already, but how much did you have to part with to get it? If you'd rather not disclose, I can respect that. |

| Re: The new RC Rode about 300 miles today including the Cherohala Skyway. Seat may be the first addition.  Me Arse is killing me. A little tougher on the wrists as well. But, what a machine.  |

How do you like the bike so far? Sounds as though the important stuff is already taken care of; pc, steering damper, exhaust that sort fo stuff. |

| Re: Pics of the new bike This weekend will mark the first trackday for the RC. Hope all goes well. I hope it's really great on the track cause I'm not too happy with it on the street. Thinking about trading for a Ducati sport classic 1000 sport biposto. I know. Shut up. |

| Re: Pics of the new bike Yea the RC51 isn't too much fun for just everyday street use, about uncomfy as can be! lol I think once you get on the track or in some twisties you will like it more!
I rode my friends ZX6R and while its lighter and easier to flick into corners, the RC51 is a lot more stable and easier to accelerate off the corners.
The 848 is a sweet ride, one smooth looking bike as is the 1048, but for me cost and parts availability kills any plans on a duc.
Good luck with whichever you go with! |
