Well Here is my new ride. Not a CB

Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2018 3:17 am

Well, some may know I've sold my GL1000. It was a hard decision, but I was looking for something more modern and something I can rip around the North GA mountains.

Well I came across this 2002 Honda RC51 SP2 with only 2300 mile, that's right 2300 miles. It came with OZ Racing Forged Billet wheel, a full Titanium Akrapovik Exhaust, Power commander 3R. It had a little Garage rash here and there from being moved around, but I managed to clean and fix everything except a small dent in the tank. I think a good paintless repair guy should be able to work that out fairly easily.

Not bad for a 12 year old bike. This is gonna be fun.

Very nice, and very high on my wish list. I think one of the nicest looking bikes ever made.

I agree.

An added bonus you will probably get to know most of your local police by their first name.

What a GREAT FIND.

Wheels, PC3 and exhaust are worth about $4K so am sure you did well.

VERY NICE CATCH.

Drool

One of these is also on my short list. Very nice looking bike. I wish I could find one with extras like that. Most of the RC51's I see around here are kind of spanked.

$5700, Exhaust 2200, Wheels $2500, Bike $1000, at least that’s the fuzzy math I’m using.

Your prices are likely closer than mine--makes the bike an EVEN BETTER DEAL.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the all time great bikes &, what a beautiful note from those exhausts. For the cost of a visit or 2 to the chiropractor, grab some Helibars .. bliss😁
Enjoy!
