After 5 years out of the saddle, I finally picked up a new bike. Always wanted a vtwin but didn't have the "hassle" of a Ducati, so I did the next best thing, I bought an RC! Been eyeing the RC for the last few years and finally pulled the trigger when the moons and the planets all aligned. With the help of RVTjonny, I picked up this 2-owner, 2002 SP2 with the right mods. She has a Leo Vince slip-on, and a PC3USB, and some new tires. I wasn't looking for anything more modified than this, and plan on keeping it like this the next few years other than replacing wear and tear items with upgraded ones, such as sprockets, tires etc. Also will probably do the free mods. She already has new Michelin Pures when I bought her.
The previous owners babied her and never let her go in the rain, but during todays first real ride it started down pouring so both her and I were soaked! I think I have some real cleaning up to do when the weather turns nicer
For the past month I've been collecting gear. I already had a Rev It jacket. Bought a pair of Sidi Vertigo Airs, Held Evo Thrux, and an AGV K3. I'll be looking for a pair of leather pants, or a full suit as time goes on, probaby from a close out.
I had a CBR600 before, and after 2 seasons, logged about 5000 miles on it. But this bike is a complete beast. I haven't revved her past 7k yet and it's plenty fast. I don't think I'll ever be able to make use of the power. I'll be finishing up my MSF next week. Super excited about it.
