Every year , around this time before we are placed in hibernation by ungodly weather here in eastern Canada , I begin searching for unusual deals . Ok , are you ready ? A Honda dealer called actionhonda.ca in the province of Saskatchewan is listing a BRAND NEW 2001 RC-51 for sale !! Huh ? Yup , 0 km . In the pic , it LOOKS new . I don't know . I used to live in Sask. ,which is the Siberia of Canada (low population , flat , and -40*C winters) , and bikes aren't really hot commodities there , so it's possible . If anyone is opening a bike museum , worth checking out .

It appears to have SP2 rotors...there has to be more to the story...

That bike has been showing up on the traders off and on since I bought my first RC in 05

Do you know anything about the bike ? What sucks is that their email doesn't work ; typical Sask , they're still in the 70's . If it's new and the price is right I'll buy the fvcking orphan and put it in my foyer .

The rotors on the 2001 RC51 had different carriers (gold) to the '00s (black) and similar ones to the '02s onward.

Could be the real deal. The only corners are the offramps from the TransCanada into Regina so, as you say, not a huge market for sportbikes.
