Minty 03 RC51 with 13,400 miles on it. Mostly stock outside windscreen/braided brake lines/PC/pipes. Was super stoked to find this one close to home. About 3hrs away.
My wife was a bit confused..... Her: "Don't you already have one of those?" Me: "Yep....now we have two. If we're lucky, they'll mate and make more." Her: "I'm going to get plants....lots of plants. Don't even think of saying anything when I get back." My mother in law came over: Her: "Cool looking bike Tyler. Kinda looks like your other one." Me: "Yep, they're the same exact bike." Her: "Just looks at me confused....well it's might nice." Me: LOL
Nah, this one will remain pretty much stock. Have a line on a super mint full Akrapovic system, just not sure I want to drop the coin on it. Thinking about trying to polish up the stock pipes and putting those and my stock windscreen on it. Have a full stock bike.
Looks like a nice unmolested find! Have a good buddy that still rides his RC51 as much as possible. Quick bike.
I <3 big twins so much. One day I'll complete my dream twin collection and it will include one of these - TLR, RC51, 1098, and Mille R
That is a really sweet looking specemin! I really need to give mine some love. It just sits in the garage. I halfheartedly put it up for sale a couple years ago. Not as minty as yours by any stretch but I enjoyed flogging it around the track until it decided it had had enough of me at Nashville Superspeedway in 2010.
