    I just SOLD THE RC51!

    Sorry to those that made offers and I changed my mind before.

    Right now things have changed Again due to knee injury which I am in pain while riding this, and I am seriously thinking of selling or trading.

    This thing is in excellent shape, just a few very small blemishes that are hardly noticable.

    Bike runs extremely strong, and sound unbelievable! You will love it.

    I am looking to trade for something more comfortable, possibly something comfy for a pillon as well. Aprilla, Ducati, BMW and such. Adventure, or possibly an ST? Lets talk about options! A newer/better trade I can add cash to the deal as well, doesn't have to be an even trade.

    I Offered this for $5000 before, so that still stands. If I list it on Craigslist I will put it up for $5500 or $5700..

    Everything in excellent running condition, ready to ride!

    2001 RC51 with 22K. Don't let the mileage scare you, this is a HONDA!! It runs absolutely sound!

    Extra's:
    Sato exhuast
    Pazzo levers
    Scotts dampner
    Moriwaki Suspension Link
    Custon undertail with built in directionals
    plate bracket has an LED light

    SST Front brake lines
    Rear brake "Blade Runner Mod"
    K&N air filters
    Carbon front fender
    Custom rear hugger with aluminum chain gaurd
    Double bubble wind screen
    Carbon Rad fins
    Custom 5 barrel bar ends
    Custom all black "RC51" decals
    GP Shift kit ( 01 VFR Shift lever )
    Chain and sprocket are in perfect condition
    Custom Blue LED display
    Pair Valve Removal Modification
    Flapper Valve Mod
    Soft rev limiter Mod
    Pirrelli tires have 80% life remaining or more.

    Re: ?? Thinking I should Sell THE RC51?

    I wouldn't be thinking about this if My Dr didn't tell me it's going to take 3-4 months for my Knee to heal, well that amost the entire riding season tha I can't enjoy. So If I get something more comfortable (Upright seating position) than I can ride and enjoy the entire season still!

    There is a method to my madness..

    As of this point I am not parting any aftermarket goodies. Sorry. This bike is set up nicely and will make it easier to sell as is. If someone wants to start low balling the price and I tell them for a certain price you will get a stock RC51, and then I will let you guys know whats available..

    Alright dumb question, but you love the RC right. And its a pain in the ass to sell right now. Why not put on some Sato reatsets and get a set of bar risers (VFR style) to stretch out your leg and make it more upright?

    Bar risers on the RC51 wouldn't cut it, plus there is not enought clearance with the front fairing and fairing stay for decent risers to make it much better.
    Rear sets... Yeah I have had two set on the RC and it didn't make enough of a differance either. I had Sato's and I also tryed Moriwaki's. The whole wopping 20mm back and 5 mm down wasn't enough at all.. Trust me if there was a way to make it work it would have been done.

    Of all the flashy mods on your bike I find it funny that the bar ends caught my eye first

    Sweet bike though, Not a giant Honda fan, however I would LOVE an RC51

    Re: ?? Thinking I should Sell THE RC51?

    BUY ME NOW!!!!! Shamelss bump.

    Will trade for a Touno, Speed Tripple, Super duke, or similar if i can't sell it.
    Depending on the bike, condition mileage I have $ to add to a trade if need be.

    Now not only does my knee bother me, but I will get into too much trouble if I keep the RC51, unless I keep it for trackdays only. I can't ride this slow, it just doesn't understand the terms slow. speed limit, stealth... I took two rides this weekend and I had a hard time from twisting the trottle more than nessisary.. I like my driving record the way it is....
