·Just read this article and kinda chuckled to myself. The article starts off by stating all of the changes made to each bike. The list for the Ducati and the Aprilia are about a paragragh or three each and when they get to the RC51 it simply says "The Honda recieves a new black paint job."
In another spot it says the lack of development shows (on the RC), but in every test, the bikes are all nearly equal. Then, the frosting on the cake is at the end the riders give thier opinions and the first two said they would buy the RC and spend the cash they saved to 'fix' the problems and still have money left over. The third guy says he would take the Ducati, but doesnt give any realistic reasoning. I mean come on, the Duc is $18,000! It should be better, in fact, it should be WAY better than the other two.
Anyway, I thought it was pretty cool that the Honda with 3yr old technology is just as good a bike as the State-of-the-art ITALIAN superbikes. Imagine how great the RC would be if Honda had kept up on the improvements. I think at the very least honda should have incorperated a shift light on the newer models. My buddys gsxr600 has one and its great.
