Re: Should I OR Shouldn't I

Same here i love having the different bike, one of the reasons i am considering it, is that he is a machanik we have been good friends for a long time and he takes goos car of his TOYS if you know what i mean and he wants something different

or....maybe he'll try to sweeten the deal if he really wants it....

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

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.
