Watching this video makes me want to knock the dust off my RC51. One of my favorite bikes. Gear driven cams, the sound with high mounts... Oh yeah.... I'll probably just keep it forever because of what it is. Hard to find clean examples of them. Thanks for the vid guys!
@@BalancePointMedia Right on man! Yeah, when I'm able to find some more time I might just use it as a track toy. Bike doesn't owe me anything and I don't need to sell it, so I guess I'll just let it sit and look pretty!
I have an 01 NIcky Hayden Replica with high Swept Jardines in polished aluminum and an 06 Sp2 that I stole with 244 miles on lt...It now has the high swept Jardines. Both are killer bikes and faster than most bikes light to light due to the usable low end torque!!!! #RC51 #RaceBikeDNA
@@MoreMoto262 Got it...Never going to sale either of my RC51's...Killer Bike, Street or Race! designed to complete with the Ducati and competed and beat it!!! Cool back story.
@@BalancePointMedia I did! It's an 02 with an sp2 swingarm and scorpion slip-ons. Unfortunately they bastardized the livery and the wheels and windscreen.. And levers and grips. so I have to replace the whole thing to get it back to stock but for 3 grand I couldn't say no.
I picked up a 2003 for 6400. 17k on the clock, Lamborghini Orange custom paint, V&H full system, integrated tail, flush mounts up front and bar end turn signal ends. So by your vid I guess I got a good deal eh? 😁
@@BalancePointMedia I don't have an IG. Just Facebook. And of course YT doesn't allow uploading a picture to a comment 🤦♂️. If ya want shoot me a friend request on fb and I can send ya pics of it that way?
Thoughts on the yamaha MT07? I have had that since end of 2019 and that bike is alot of fun tbh, and as im a 6.4 I cant use these racing bikes, breaks my body cause they are too tiny
Sheesh! Yeah the RC is probably more comfortable than other super bikes and Colin Edwards used to race one at 6’5”! I love the mt07. Was actually considering the xsr900 which is the cafe version with the triple over the twin but the mt07 is such a great all around bike. Total sv650 vibes and I’ve owned a couple of those!
Mine will click over to 72,000 miles this spring. just took a 1,200 mile trip on it last summer, still going strong
Nice! Yeah these things are absolute tanks!
There’s only one reason - it’s by far the best bike I’ve ever owned and I no longer lust after any other 😆
Even after owning my 899 Panigale I still say, "damn that bike is so nice" every time I see it!
Love mine.34000 miles just had the valve inspected for the second time since owning it since 2011... Everything still in spec.. great video man
Thank you man! I absolutely love mine too, I’m never going to get rid of it!
I am a simple man - I see an RC51 I click. Liked and Subbed as well!
Thanks man! We appreciate it! 🤙
Hello from Malaysia. I have an 00 SP1 and an 03 SP2. Love them both.
They’re such great bikes! We absolutely love ours! Glad you have 2, that’s awesome!
Negeri mana bro! Sp1 my favourite..sayangnya saya pakai utk 2 tahun je..jual selepas kahwin kerana hendak beli kereta utk keperluan keluarga😢

I need me some high mounts. Hard to find. Might have to go pipe bender/stainless or dual shorties. Loud you think? Prolly.

01 Hayden? They only made the Hayden in 04.
@@MoreMoto262 Replica...The Hayden is an appearance package that I duplicated with all of the stickers including his actual signature on my tank.
@@radicalrobason replica of a replica, I get you, just pointed it out since some people like to sell it as a legit Hayden.

Love mine.
We do too!
Reason number one: it's a Honda. It's reliable. Enough said! Picking up one in a couple hours. Getting myself pumped.
Excellent! It’s been a few hours, did you pick it up? If so, what year and all that good stuff?

Um... No mention of the Suzuki TL1000R or S ? As a vtwin fan...?
Never owned one personally so didn't want to speak on em but certain theyre incredible bikes as well!

@@BalancePointMedia actually I just changed my display picture in my account to it. Kinda small but there it is.
From what I can tell it looks sick!
The reason the 390s are blown cuz it’s a single cylinder.There’s a lot of Ktm twins specifically the LC 8 over 70k miles.
Oh no argument, We know the 390 is a single cyl and that created problems. It’s definitely not to say ALL KTM’s are bad :p
Every few years I hear the whispers...and think about buying an SP-2. How many bikes is too many? 😅
What is “too many”? 🤔
What exhaust system is on t your bike?
It’s a danmoto titanium gp slip on 👍👍

Buy another!
I just got the name
What exhaust is that!?
It’s the danmoto GP exhaust 🤙
I am looking for one
Nice, but I would like 6 reasons next time. Kthxbai
It was 6 reasons though :p
