Bottom line the 51 is outdated and underpowered and I loved mine for 24,000 miles.

I like to call it vintage..
No doubt the RC was bad ass in it's day (2000-2004) but soon after that it became more of a loyalty thing. I just went from a 08 cbr1krr to a 00 rc51 and although I miss some things I had with the rr, I can still appreciate the rc for what it can do. I'm addicted to the sound and feel, not the hp. IMO the older the RC the better. Colin Edwards is my hero!
As for the 1125r.. I love it.. In fact I almost bought the CR this year. The Rotax motor was the best thing Buell had going and then it ended as fast is it started.. It's a shame. I wouldn't buy one now, who knows what can happen once a company goes under.
Wouldn't buy another 08 cbr1krr either.. Mine burned oil pretty bad and everyone I know personally with one has the same problem. Honda told me it was just the way it is... BS.. I'll wait till they put the oil rings back on the pistons and then maybe I'll buy another one..
