I let a buddy ride mine today.
He said it was surprisingly agile, smooth, easy to ride and comfortable.

I think he also mentioned it was fast. lol

RC51 is terrifically over rated. I've ridden 2 (an 02 and an 04 NH) I thought the bike was very solid and not easily upset in turns but with only a lackluster motor and terrible tach. I bet I hit the rev limiter a dozen times before I was able to feel where the bike was RPM wise. The look and sound sells that bike. Everything else is a liability IMO.

The Hayabusa is a great bike but terribly expensive as a commuter. I had an 02 Hayabusa as my car for a year. 25,000 miles, 6 full sets of tires and a chain and sprockets later.....and that was enough of that.

Loads of fun though!

yeah it;s a VERY sweet bike, but way over my head in terms of what i "need" which reflects in the price.........

all i want is a low priced one w/ reasonable miles, clean, and a nice exhaust......

I'm sure it's over the head of just about what everyone "needs". Wouldn't stop me though.
