RC51 has a new garage mate

[mycirus]

Picked this up yesterday. I am loving it. Huge compared to the RC. Lots of power. Good wind protection and comfy. I love it!!! Traded the KLR and some cash for it. Im thinking of holding onto the RC for a while too.

[greenmonster]

Sweeet. Nice grab. Bet you could ride around all day and be comfy. And yeah, it dwarfs the RC.

[Manny]

Nice!

New? Used? Options?


Ive been thinking about one for long time...starbucks is like 3 blocks from me so I ned something with better wind protection and ergos

You have a problem Bruce.

What did the KLR need an oil change so you traded it in??

Love the bags!!

[KillBill]

Wow! That is sick!

[spicy]

[sandman]

Its an 06 used, 14k miles, barely broken in, all options, onboard computer, heated grips, ABS and the 1900 dollars worth of bags. I cant wait for the CST with DUCDAVE.

It came from Amherst Ma. It was on ADV for 2 days before I got it. Yes I would like the Tank bag. Let me know what you want for it. Thanks.

Yes I do have a problem. The KLR was cool but this trumps it. In a perfect world I would have liked both but I didnt want to shell out an extra 5k out of pocket.

Nice Tank!

but seriously things sick!

Damn Bruce!

I have a soft spot for a GS. ANY GS. That thing looks mint.

I'll let you flog the Rex if I can try that thing out one of these days!

(btw, you'll need the knobbies to get up my road, nevermind my driveway)

You NEED to take it to MotoMarket one of these Thursday nights so I can hump it.

Ill let you sit on it with the center stand up but I am on my tippy toes on it. I am pretty sure you might not touch the ground. Ha ha.

That's what those big cylinder-lookin sidestands are for!

Hey, if I can handle my KLR just fine on tippy-toes, I should be able to sex up that whore with no problem.

[mycirus]

Maybe I could put the seat on the low setting for ya.

[BMFR6]

(btw, you'll need the knobbies to get up my road, nevermind my driveway)

you need to have one of these at your place
you could use it to tow your other bikes back and forth to the pavement!

[schleppy]

Awesome bike, but not my bag. Just sitting on one of those at the dealer scares me. The thing is absolutely gigantic.

The thing looks mint though!

[Ryno]

very nice. I've wanted one ever since seeing Long way Round.
Little too rich for my blood at the moment though

[#1 masshole]

Nice looking bike, looks indestructible!

[sandman]

sounds like it's time for a low seat.

i could get both of my feet flat on the ground with the stock seat.

now with a low sargent and the ohlins i cant quite get both feet feet flat on the ground.

while i like the way it handles, i wish it had 60 more hp.

the tiger felt a little stronger and has a better top speed.

much like the tiger, i have to remember to shift earlier and more often (before the bike bounces the rev limiter).

once you get used to a 13.5k rev limiter 9k seems way too soon.
