Opinions on this RC-51?

I'm still deciding if I want this or there's also a naked SV1K with a GSXR front end and Penske rear that I like a lot.
Smittie - He lists a sargent seat, I'm guessing it's an upgrade over stock as far as comfort.. and it's def more comfortable than this shaved piece of plywood known as my CRF seat.

Nah man, thanks for the offer, but I'm pretty much exclusively Japanese bike at this point.

At least you're in TN.. should be able to find some nice WRs or CRFs that are street legal.

RC51 > SV. Massively greater than.

It has a GSXR fork and a Penske shock........And I wouldn't doubt it's lighter than the RC.

The RC is like 10 year old tech. The only advantage it has is looks and wind protection.

I'd grab that SV if it's cheaper.......Unless you plan on doing a lot of high-speed highway of course.

It's still a SV. RC51 massively cooler on all levels.

Maybe.......but I'd only buy an RC if it was black (05/06)........I just can't get into silver & red.
