02 RC 51 in NH

[Ryno]

12k miles, clean title, Two brothers slip ons (sounds fantastic)
Recent chain and sprockets (up a couple teeth from stock in the back)
Bike was down before I got it, hence the sharkskinz and single headlight. No issues, runs and rides great. Selling because I want something more comfy. Never thought I'd say it but... oh well.
Looking for an FZ1 or ZRX etc. maybe.
$3800 not a garage queen, but a good bike for the money



Bikek is in NH and ready to go.

Selling because I want to come back to a TLR

Still remember your 98 blue and white TLR. Good luck with the RC sell and let us know what you pick up next

Re: 02 RC 51 in NH

Nice looking bike, forwarded the info to a few friends looking for RC's. Although shipping might kill it for them.

You're only a few hours away, give me a shout in the spring

Re: 02 RC 51 in NH

If its still avail in the spring it may just have a new home next to my TL.. I am torn between the yamaha v star and your RC and I have heard great things about the RC. hmmm tempting but if its still there in the spring :o)

If you are a taller rider the rc seems to fit well. short folks tend to feel its uncomfortable. I think the TL feels alittle better then the rc fit wise. the rc is fun to throw around.

I can honestly say for me (having owned a TL for ten years) the RC is better in every way except comfort and it actually runs hotter than the TL. Those damn side mounted rads are a horrible design.
The seat really sucks. If I still have the bike next year I'll invest in a Corbin and see if that helps

Interesting sales technique.......

GLWS man!

Re: 02 RC 51 in NH

Just being honest, it's not close to being comfortable.
I never use to care about that stuff, as long as it handled well. Now my back and wrists are telling me otherwise

I've ridden a couple of RC's and they fit me like a glove. I'm 6'3. The TL however (mine at least) had much more power and pulled harder from bottom to top in any gear. For ergo's, the RC is indeed a good pick for us tall guys. I'd buy one. TL's and RC's are both very respectable machines.
