Honda RC51 description

2005 RC51 SP-2 (aka RVT1000R / VTR1000R)

ONLY 8,740k miles.  $5800.

Very clean bike with low miles.  Rare to find an SP-2 with less than 10k miles.  Clean title, in-hand.  Video here: http://youtu.be/Jg6oGZesx-w

Why selling?  Since owning it I have bought a track bike and started a family, so now I rarely ride on the road and I need to make space in the garage.

The bike: There’s nothing on it that is not useful for handling/speed (except for the tint in the windshield).  Bike never crashed, never seen rain.  Oil regularly replaced.  Suspension set up for a 180lb rider by Washington Cycle Works, NJ.

Mods:

·        Full Micron exhaust system with carbon slip-ons
·        Power Commander III with custom map (not downloaded, actually dynoed to the engine).  Makes I can give you a copy of the mapping.
·        Braided brake lines
·        Larger Spal fans on the radiators (direction can be reversed, but I have settled on sucking air in rather than blowing it out across the radiators)
·        Crash protection – frame sliders and swing-arm sliders
·        CRG levers
·        Renthal front & rear sprockets (rear has +2 teeth)
·        Renthal chain (530)
·        Heat-wrapped headers
·        Tinted windshield
·         Switch to turn on fans when rider wants

Consumables:

·        Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa tires (55 profile rear for better turning) – almost new with 90% life in them
·        Engine ice
·        Repsol fully synthetic oil changed in May and K&N filter
·        HH brake pads

Extras:

·        One full, as new fairing side (I never needed new fairings, I just happened to buy this from ebay)
·        A set of Dan Kyle Pair block-off plates
·        A Dan Kyle flapper valve block off cover
·        A 10.7 Kg/mm Eibach rear spring (stock is 9.8 Kg/mm)
·        Original windshield
·        Repsol fork oil
·        ·        Second key
·        Rear seat cowl (comes with seat)

One note: The RC51 is not a city bike – it doesn’t like the heat.  You can Google this.  Most owners try to reduce the heat made by the engine (as have I – see above).  As long as you’re not planning on sitting in traffic, you’ll be fine.

This is a clean bike with low miles.

Please come and look at the bike & talk to me about it.  No trades.

Can deliver locally to 07701.

Honda VFR1200F Launch: Tokyo (no) Show

Wed, 21 Oct 2009

IF YOU'VE never been to the Tokyo show before, let me tell you this: you’re missing nowt.‘You picked a bad year to come,’ said the Yamaha designer and he was spot on. Three halls of mainly Japanese car manufacturers and lots of empty spaces wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Maybe my expectations were too great, maybe I should have been expecting my glass to be half empty?
