Such polar opposites. I don't know how you could consider an RC51 and a Busa on the same shopping list. I guess you could split the difference and get a ZX12R, I've always liked those. Black and gold please.

They seem to be cheap too! I've seen them for sale locally for around $4,000 no bs.

The Rc is awesome if you are riding twisties or the track.

If you want a good, cheap vtwin honda that is good for commuting as well as sport touring, get the VTR1000F. 90% of the performance of the RC, cheaper, and more bearable for commuting.


fuck it, get the Bus!


retarded fast, comfy and decent handling
But look at what's lurking behind it a pair of twins, and one's the RC! Forget about the busa and just rock the RC. You know you want it, you've already said so.
