2000 RC-51 FS......5,100 rock bottom
Here is a track/street dual purpose RC51. KBB puts the bike around 6,200-6,300. The price here reflects the fact that the bike does not come with stock plastics. Fear not though, the track skins are the best you can buy(hotbodies with a cheetah tail). These skins are clean and uncrashed with no repair work.
As far as asthetics i mounted an R6 projector headlamp and a 600rr taillight so i could ride it on the street too. The third, and smaller, hole you will see next to the air snorkel is for being able to video tape your rides. The paint scheme has an american flag type theme to it. To really finish it off i was going to put some white stars over the metallic blue paint. Sort of a tribute to the Collin Edwards American themed RC. I suggest the new owner get the paint cleared over to make it more durable.
The performance mods are as follows. Tires are nearly new PP race compounds. It has a 520 conversion with vortex sprockets. I have an extra rear sprocket to go with the bike. There is a full Jardine 2-1 exhaust with Ti can and race baffle.(In the pic provided below its not fully mounted...i just put it on the mid pipe for the pic...its now completely mounted and ready to go) You will instantly fall in love with the sound as i did. Although the engine has no internal mods there is a techno box for mapping and getting the most out of the exhaust and different sprocket setups. Right now its set up to run pig rich which helps to keep the average operating temp around 180. Climbs up to mid 190's in heavy stop and go traffic. If you know anything about RC's you will know they like to run on the warm side.(200 degrees and up) Even running rich its puts out a healthy 131-136whp(depending on fuel mix). So if you want you can tune for a bit more hp. Don't see why one would need it considering the front has a hard time staying on the ground through 3rd gear.
Some things i forgot.....its has Woodcraft clip ons, and ss braided lines.
Miles are just under 12K. That's just under 2K miles a year. Complete valvetrain was checked and well within spec around the 10K mark.
Keep in mind this is a dual purpose bike. It mainly set up for track duty, so please don't expect it to mint in every way. Its sits tall and is very agile. This is a solid bike that will provide thousands of miles of enjoyment for the new owner. Plus you will have the most custom looking RC out there to date. It really is a fun ride and gets most of the attention whenever it goes out.
I believe the price is more than fair, and in the buyers favor considering the aftermarket parts you get with this ride. If you don't have the cash then please wait to contact me until you do. NO TRADES.....for sale only. That is unless you have a really nice truck or car that you are willing to trade even for. When i say nice i mean worth 10K or more.
CLEAN AND CLEAR TITLE IN HAND.
I also have some spares parts to go with the bike. If the buyer wishes we can discuss the additional purchase of some aftermarket gear like reworked forks, ohlins shock, etc.
