Its racing success is quite astonishing , isn't it ? Especially considering that one tuner after another has said how easy the '51 was to develop for racing , and one racer after another has stated that it was so easy to ride fast . But I'm just gushing about an old , slow POS aren't I , blind to the reality that the RC-51 is nothing special

. Oh , and the bike also won the Canadian SBK Championship ... through snow .
