Yellow RC-51

I'm already a sucker for a yellow bike. This one would look great next to the yella hawk.

What a pinhead. Selling a machine like that so he can ride that fat-*** chopper in his garage.

That's how I got my Superhawk, the guy kept his Harley. Main reason he sold the Hawk was he felt he was too short for it.

I've always thought the front headlights for the RC were a bit like a hot girl wearing bifocals.

Nay on the yellow. The stock black and grey RC51's looked waay better.

I also like this part..."over $4,000 invested". Hey joromitsu773, it's not a house bud. You're not gonna get it back.

Hahaha, seriously... aftermarket parts on a bike are not "investments." They are things you do to the bike to further enoy riding it, and hope that it doesn't put off buyers in the future who are usually looking for unmolested bikes. And 8k? Come on. But I do like that yellow paint job, and I usually hate yellow. Go figure.

I love it. With the solid color those plastics resemble a Duc. I never did care for the RC headlights either, although the same has been said for the hawk.

Every mod I've done to my bike (which aint that many) can be reversed (except maybe the fenderectomy and the fork valves)

This bike must be the equivalent of the SP-2, but I thought they stopped making them in 2005

This is his second relisting. He starts the bidding at $8k each time. No bids...you'd think that would be a clue.

I know the feeling brother cause i'm there myself. But it doesn't hurt to indulge a little, huh? Just like me--within the past couple weeks i've seen two diff late model bikes for sale with under 1500 miles and $3000 worth of upgrades for less than the cost of new. These people are unbelievable.

among other mods, the ad states that this bike is equipped with "dumper"

It doesnt sound like this guy has enuff sense to even put oil in the bike. It looks great, but thiis guy is a non-biker.

Those bikes were $12k plus ttl new and at least out here were never discounted very much. $8k for a nicely set up one with 2350 miles on it? Doesn't sound high to me.

Yeah, with all the "investments" I guess justifies the 8 grand price tag [] NOT!
