I broke a tear when I sold my nicely set up 2001 RC and will soon be owning another 2001 set up even nicer with half the mileage I had!!! Can't wait to rip it up next season..

how many two time owners are here???

I kicked myself almost as soon as I helped the guy roll my first 2004 onto his truck. That's part of the reason I have three of them now...

Had a 2002 - sold it / regretted it - have a 2003 now. Last of the red ones...

Wheres Mycirus? He is on his second one. Degsy which doesnt visit here too often anymore was a two time owner also.

Wish it wasn't shitty winter here so I could take a ride when I get her. Maybe a trip south will have to be arrainged..

Like I said in a different post, I've had 4....ALL 2001 models. 1st 2 were new, last 2 were used.

a few years ago I bought a rough 2001, fixed it and sold it for a profit....that was a bad move

this spring found a really clean and nicely set up 04 NH edition. I enjoyed the bike so much that I bought an 02 and built it as my race bike

On a sad note, my job situation may cause me to sell one this spring..

i may be buying another, but only a low mile example to refresh my setup.

but the way you guys ****ed our economy i don't think it'll be any time soon.

Basically I have only owned one but considering how many parts I've thrown at this piggy I would say I have owned 3 as well!

Bought my first last year-an 01 with only 3750 miles and lots of extras. Wrecked it cuz some IDIOT ran out into the road. Got it tore apart and plan on fixing it this winter. Couldn't go without an RC, so I bought an 04 Hayden in March with 8500 miles and will never part with either. I have the illness BADDDDDDDDDDD!

I've got an RC51 front end on my 2002 Superhawk...does that count?
