Rc51 or 'busa - Page 3

RC51, just for the simple fact tat you wouldnt be just some tool on a busa. The RC51 is a much more special bike, one that you will enjoy more in the long term.

Hell, get a MV Agusta...

The RC-51 is just a damn cool bike.

For my use, I'd get a Hayabusa. It's a better fit for the roads we have here.

I agree. Clean RC-51s will only become more difficult to find. Get the RC now while you still can. You can always get a Busa later and there are plenty of them.

Use, abuse, and get an average 16 mpg.

Buell...

For what you do, the lightning is THE perfect bike.

Agreed. XBSs or XBSTT... Uly if you can stand the looks.

Such polar opposites. I don't know how you could consider an RC51 and a Busa on the same shopping list. I guess you could split the difference and get a ZX12R, I've always liked those. Black and gold please.

They seem to be cheap too! I've seen them for sale locally for around $4,000 no bs.
