I'd still like one but there's no freaking way I'd ever pay that much coin for one.

Eff that.

Rather have an RSV1000R Factory, and bank the money left over...

Here's a Nicky Hayden edition with less than 3K miles: http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/2542212822.html. Only $5K, plus you get to go to Laramie, WY. Ride 'em cowboy.

It doesn't have fancy brand name rearsets, shocks, levers, reservoir caps, sliders, axle spacers, etc.......That's why it isn't worth $15K

People want a ton of multi-colored anodized parts everywhere........otherwise they wouldn't look cool at Starbucks

15k is laughable and the jackass selling it knows that.

RC's ar nice to looks at but they are big heavy pigs. The best thing about them is that with a set of Sato exhaust, it would make you shoot one in your pants, but thats about it. My 08 GSXR 750 was quicker than my buddy's 01 RC51.
