Hello,

First sportbike.
First V twin.

Confirmed Kawasaki nut with a V twin jones.

I really like this bike so far. I got it about 6 weeks ago with only 2400 miles on it. We've had about 2 days with no rain since I got the bike!

The bike seems to be really at home in sweepers. Heavy steering but very stable and great brakes! After reading much about the bike I decided it was this or a Duc...the valve train on the Duc is stupidly complex so the Honda won.

I had expected to be pounded into submission in short order but it's really not all that bad. Even the stock seat is better than the stock seat on my beloved Kawasaki ZRX.

Anyway...just wanted to say hi Gents.

Old slow guy here.

Best Regards,
Bill

Hey Bill, Welcome! Think you're gonna love the RC51. I sure do. I like the muscle-car attitude this bike has.

Thanks guys. I look forward to modding this bike. It sure sounds incredible!
I like to fire it up just to listen to it idle.

Sick eh?

welcome to the forum Bill. The bike is amazing.....get ready for the sickness. I often find myself wandering into the garage,walking around it, touching the tank, looking at the pipes, and dash like some kind of creepo.
