raw torque is great, but HP is lacking compared to the other liters, for the gas milage i get it should be alot more peppy, the stock rc is very bogged down by emissions and epa placed valves and soft rev limiters, just cant get good performance, so you must do a bunch of free mods just to get what shoulda been stock performance and ridability in the first place

and its very heavy

and no, i am no where near the bikes potential, its all just arm chair racing

one thing ill never get tired of is that v twin sound

once you get past the gas milage, its a fucking great ride, more then 99% of the riders can handle, fun factor is a 10, i have always had a thing for fpx's 10, prolly one of the only bikes i would consider trading it in for

I've always loved the RC-51. It's an awseome sounding bike. I almost came close to buying one instead of my R1. I've heard of people getting 50,000 miles or more easily on the RC. It's supposed to be a very reliable bike.

i need that with 12-20k miles a year that i put on it

Drewps...what kind of HP does the RC put down and what about torque?
