Jon....you are gettimg me all wrong....the RC51 is still a awesome bike...I wish I could have both, but in reality I can't. I just could not believe how much better that RC made me as a rider.

Now I wanted something I would not have to work so hard to ride on.....Plus its alway great to get a new bike. The longest I have ever held on to a bike is 1 1/2 years. Not because I don't ride them, just the opposite I ride the hell out of them. So far I am happy with my decision, byt I still will miss my RC51, just like I miss my 03 600RR, or my 02 F4I. One thing remains the same...I love Hondas

Trust me the refining changes that Honda made to the bike are just incredible. Plus this is the 1st bike that I ever had Chad at Kinetics set up just for me (suspension wise).
Are you talking about Kinetics in Hudson?
