LOL you don't know me very well. Every time I swing a leg over a bike its front tire is int he air or its seeing close to redline on the racetrack. Also my friend rides as hard as me and he doesn't own a RC51 to put around on it. He actually rides it like it should be ridden.


Trust me I have nothing to gang here guys. I have road raced a fair amount of bikes and I will tell you the RC 51 if far from a great track weapon. Just because you own one doesn't mean it is the best bike. Don't be butt hurt when I say this but the 1125 will out perform the RC bone stock to boe stock. The RC 51 has the worst stock suspension out of the box.
