Why are RC-51's so expensive?

It's a fantastic bike though! I love mine. I got mine for one of those *if I told you I'd have to kill you* prices, much like I did the rest of my bikes. It was 6 months old when I got it, and with all the goodies I have on it now, I still have less in it than what a new one cost back in the day. It has 30,000 miles on it now.

I get messages on Youtube from people that see my videos about it asking if I'll tell the stuff I have on it. I have a Penske triple adjustable rear shock, Marchesini magnesium wheels, and Yoshimura full titanium exhaust to start. You can't buy this stuff anymore, so it's really rare to even see. One guy from Czechoslovakia ups his offer for my exhaust every couple of months. We're up to $1500 now. LOL

Yeah, if something happens and you throw a rod or something, I better be on the short list for those parts...

LOL. If I were keeping track of that list, you'd be around 4-5 on the list by now. But, even if it were to throw a rod, I'd just rebuild it and keep going.

I've already been in the motor once.
