    Very nice purchase, congratulations!! I also have a 2000 Honda RC51 I purchased when they first came out. She's still running 18 years later. I tell my friends that although it is 1000cc it was meant to run with the 750cc in line fours back in the day, so it's more like a 750. Also I really enjoyed your other video about the history of the RC51 as well. Thanks

    Nice video👍 I bought a 2012 Ducati 1199 PANIGALE S and I sold it for this bike. I have a video of my upgrades on that bike on my channel. When I first drove the RC51 in 2002 in the Philippines I loved it instantly because of its unique torque power. The torque just got my attention from driving in line fours. Before getting the Panigale I purchased the Ducati 1198 in which had more torque than the RC 51 and the Panigale. After having issues with the 1198 I purchased the 1199 but unfortunately after a two years having the 1199 it was mostly visiting the shop rather than riding it so I sold it. I purchase the RC 51 and for some odd reason this bike is so old but I’ve never had any problems or issues. Again great video and review and great mods as well. I purchased the RC51 with a lot of mods from exhaust, blinkers and extra goodies and I bought it for $5000 cash. Keep up the videos and I will do the same on the bike this summer.

    I have and own an 03 SP2 I've also ridden the Mille quite a bit. In a nutshell. I felt the RC turns in better. The Mille is hard to use as a daily driver vs the RC, that motor needs more revs to drive smoothly. Tough in traffic etc The RC runs far hotter (tell us what we don't know). The Mille felt less compact COG wise to me personally, I found it wanted to stand up more under cornering acceraltion, requires more input work than I'm used to. The Mille power curve doesn't flatten out as hard as RC.

    I’m just so pumped that there’s now a great vlogger on an RC51! You’re definitely right about the head turning factor, many people ask what it is since it’s not as common, or if they’re in the know they lust after it. I love people’s confused reaction when they see my incoming RC51, a sportbike but sounds meaner than an inline 4.
