I let a buddy ride mine today.
He said it was surprisingly agile, smooth, easy to ride and comfortable.

I think he also mentioned it was fast. lol

RC51 is terrifically over rated. I've ridden 2 (an 02 and an 04 NH) I thought the bike was very solid and not easily upset in turns but with only a lackluster motor and terrible tach. I bet I hit the rev limiter a dozen times before I was able to feel where the bike was RPM wise. The look and sound sells that bike. Everything else is a liability IMO.

The Hayabusa is a great bike but terribly expensive as a commuter. I had an 02 Hayabusa as my car for a year. 25,000 miles, 6 full sets of tires and a chain and sprockets later.....and that was enough of that.

Loads of fun though!

Holy F'n Shit. BUY IT.

RACER X · 08-27-2009, 08:03 AM

yeah it;s a VERY sweet bike, but way over my head in terms of what i "need" which reflects in the price.........

all i want is a low priced one w/ reasonable miles, clean, and a nice exhaust......

Mr Lefty · 08-27-2009, 08:03 AM

sexy... but I notice the rear shock the first time... no need of three straight pics of it...

I'm sure it's over the head of just about what everyone "needs".

Wouldn't stop me though.
