Your favorite STREET bike?

I have an '18 Tuono RR with RF suspension, upgraded brakes, Marchesini wheels and some other goodies, I swear that thing is more spicy than my '17 RSV4 RF was. I was almost out of gas in the Harley so I rode the Tuono to work today, it was not a boring ride lol.

 

….yup and the Tuono actually makes more hp/torque than the RSV4 til about 10k rippems

 

The RC45 definitely looked the part and was much rarer than the RC30. There, I said something nice about the RC45, first time for everything I guess.

Man, the RC45 that Commonwealth, Ludington and Lombardo built were sano as fuck. '94 it was crap, '95 with My-gal it was a Million dollar missile.

 

I got to stare at one of these for motivation nearly three times per day, every day for six and a half weeks as one of the TIs parked his right next to the chow hall entrance. At the time, I just knew I'd have one, but it never happened.

My favorite street bike is my current 2012 ZX14 SE (green with flames). She's not going to lose or catch anyone in the twisties, but she's big and comfy enough to ride all day with enough pop to make things entertaining if the feeling hits me. A close second was my '99 ZX9 as it just seemed to do everything very well. We enjoyed a lot of Colorado Rocky Mountain roads together.

 

This is my all time favorite as well. I see no reason to ever sell this bike. Seat could be more comfortable but I am not a long distance guy anyhow so it does not really matter.

 

Many great miles on ol Coolblue!!!

 

That is SWEET!

 

Hands, down, RC51

 

Love the blue. Looks almost as good as the black!

where did you get that rack though? I’ve never seen that design before. Looks very cool.

 

Hey @DaveK - found one even cheaper for you if you can stand green. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1642841966393465/?
Lots of goodies on this one too.

 

It's amazing how many people don't flip the chain adjusters on these.

 

I'd actually prefer green.

What brand of exhaust is that? How loud is it?

 

He took his listing down and is gonna ride it this year then rethink selling it tomorrow.
We just left his house, saw it in his garage and took a pic but it’s too large to upload.
Brand new Ohlins forks and shock, Ivans jetting, Metis rearsets (not on currently), Full Ti Muzzy system, and more I’m forgetting.

 

2023 Streetfighter V2

 

If you don't like your groin or your wrists, then sure. (but maybe I'm just jealous?)

 

I did and didn't like the way it handled, though i'm still not sure there's not something else wrong with it that makes it handle weird. Definitely makes it more responsive, but also more prone to head shake when you're hard on the gas.

 

I have a 2022 V4S…the Streetfighter is a couch by comparison.

 

Face firmly planted in palm.... I literally missed one of only 3 "words" in that post. Wanna take a guess which one?

 

I did ride my RC51 in the hill country a few times and it was a fun bike to ride there! Not in the city stop and go!
