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.
im glad someone agrees with me about the rcs suspension. i have had 2 gsxr 750s and a kawi 636 and i was faster on all those bikes because i never had the confidence to do what i do on them on the rc. it takes forever and a day to set up the suspension on the rc to get it to behave. on the other bikes you jus point n shoot and it goes w no fuss. even with the other bikes' suspension being out of wack it still outhandles the rc.

the rc is a nice bike, lots of character but it cant hold a candle to even the newest 600s on the street. i have witnessed it myself time and time again. i think the 1125 has a lot of potential and i would love to see somoene unlock it and do a decent comparison to that bike and some of its competition past and present
