Looked at the RC 51 and also the TL1000R. Those are thumpers from hell.

I agree with just about EVERY sport bike being to much for the street.

I so would love to get a Duc or Aprilla. I just dont have the time to work on it the way they really need.

 

I have had the following:
1998 CBR 600
1999 R6
1999 R1

My opinion: Get a '03 R1 or a Suzuki TL1000R
The TL is better suited for the street but the R1
My next bike will be a new R1 or a TL1000R
