I've always loved the stories of cars for sale, where the original owner was selling it and had documentation from the day he bought it new, to the day it had its last service.
I purchased my RC51 new, trackday'd it for 2 years, (no crashes, thank god) and have now returned it to street trim, including an order placement within the last week, of Ohlins front forks, Ohlins rear shock, Magical Racing Twill Carbon Fiber front fender and rear hugger and a warm cozy spot in the garage, next to my 31 year old (soon to be 32 year old) Suzuki GT550.
I intend on keeping this bike for as long as I possibly can. It took almost 20+ years for the RC30s to increase in value (*I think*) and was wondering what you guys thought about the RC51.
I'd like to give it to my daughter one day. She's 2 and a half now, so there's no real hurry........
I have retained my original sales slip and receipts for every item I've ever bought for the bike, including a plethora of pictures along the way. The discontinuance of the bike for 2007 makes this process that more obtainable, IMHO.
