Performance chrome exhaust ?! WTF is that. LOL.

The sad thing is that in stock form, the RC51 is really anemic. I was disappointed when I rode a bone stock one. The handling is great, the brakes are great. The motor is so restricted it sucks.

Call it Honda fanboi-ism maybe? I dunno, but I've noticed the same thing.

Must be a Honda fanboi thing.. so does that mean I can get 20k for my S2000 because it's a Honda.. Don't worry about the fact that it has 60k miles.. It's a honda!

Because the owners friggin LOVE them and can ASK that much



They're not all that fast, they don't handle as well as most 04-newer sportbikes, but they've got a great deal of character. And close to stock ones are getting a lot harder to find.
