GerardoXX Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Hi guys, I know that many of you have a second bike for the track or the twisted road. I mean the RC51, I am about to buy one, but want to know your insight of the bike, specilly on the following matters - How hot is hot for that bike, I have been told that runs really hot, between 220 ºF to 240 ºF is that normal and is that true? - How crampy is it, could you go easily a couple hours riding it in the road without suffering from muscle cramps or painful neck, wrist or knees. - How fun is to ride it - Anything else you want to share. Thanks Quote

Thanks You wont regret it! :grin: :grin: :grin: Yes they run hot but with Radiator vents, PC3r, and some water wetter you will be fine. Crampy isn't how I would expain it, I have ridden it 4-500 miles at a time with breaks occasionally. No ill affect on myself, it does take a while to get used to. At first you will not be comfortable especially when comparing it to the XX. The V-Twin is awhole lot more fun to ride than a I4. You will see what we mean by a bike having a SOUL! IF......IF......I had to choose between the XX and the RC, I would give up the XX...........Damn did I say that? The RC blows away the XX in FUN FACTOR! :grin: Quote

GerardoXX Posted June 17, 2003 Author Posted June 17, 2003 Thanks Randy, it is a fact, I just paid it. They are going to have it ready for friday, so I will tell you later how I feel with it, and I do keep my XX, that is another bike that I'm in love with it. Thanks again. Gerardo Quote
