say a bit of cash to loosen your grip on the RC's throttle or free sevicing for the replacement bike ........forever

| Re: Should I OR Shouldn't I Keep the RC51. You will regret it if you dont. I know I regret getting rid of my 04. They are getting harder to find in good condition with low miles for a decent price. 1000's are a dime a dozen and are still being produced. |

| Re: Should I OR Shouldn't I What do you use it for? I have both and they are utterly different bikes. Both have strengths and weaknesses.
