Why are RC-51's so expensive?

The TLR always had kind of a frat boy/punk image compared to the "elite" RC.......That probably explains the difference in pricing.

The RC had mostly a White & Asian owner base.......techies mostly.......and their cars tended to be stuff like Integra Type R's and Mazda RX-7's.......and they listen to house & techno

The TLR was purchased by Whites & Blacks mostly...... who owned Z28's or Mustang GT convertibles......who listen to eminem or kid rock

Doesn't mean one bike was actually better than the other.......it's just the image Suzuki tends to have in general, compared to Honda. Witness all the people who diss GSXR's like as if they know anything about them
