Nice.  I can think of a couple of other members that have RC51's that I'm sure also will be following with interest.   Looking forward to the photos!

Best color on the RVT IMHO.  I would love to pick one up myself if I 1) had any more room in the garage 2) didn't want to be choked out by the wife in my sleep or 3) their prices weren't crazy high in the used market.

Superbikeplanet was just showing some old videos, one was from a 1999 Daytona tire test and man those RC51s sounded nice.

Congrats post pics please!

Does anyone really need more than one motorcycle? My wife always says, "You mean you want another motorcycle!"

BTW, your list seems to keep growing! Congrats and let's see them pics once you get them.

Castrol Honda livery the way to go!

and here an infamous RC51 episode....

Best factory color- '05-'06 black/ graphite / red (for the USA)

Best livery- Castrol Honda agreed!

The UK got some pretty sweet color options, the USA had the same red/ silver for most of its run which I got a bit tired of myself.

I go back-and-forth practically daily between "needing" an RC51 and a 916. So I just buy neither and settle for the hole in the head.

Congrats. Pics or you don't have it!
