2001 HONDA RC 51, Honda surprised everyone when they announced a new liter-displacement V-twin superbike for its 2000 model lineup alongside the inline-four CBR929RR, as this meant taking on Ducati at its own v-twin game. Naturally, the Honda Racing Corporation (HRC), the racing arm of Honda of Japan, played a major role in the design of the new bike and the results spoke for themselves...two World Superbike championships for Colin Edwards and one (nearly two) for Nicky Hayden in AMA Superbike. Today these are fast becoming collector's items due to the overall small US sales numbers compared to other production bikes of the time, and the number of them wrecked or turned into track bikes over the years. If a sport bike with a booming v-twin sound, race worthy performance and Honda reliability intrigues you then check this out, one of our favorite sports bikes ever! This one has been well cared for, and is all OEM plastics except the undertail, and boasts a limited (249 out of 300) MoriWaki Zero Titanium dual exhaust...the owner is just moving into something a bit more comfy for the daily rides. Recent work includes: new tires, chain, fork seals, battery, windscreen, braided brake lines, rebuilt master and slave clutch set, also with braided line. A few cosmetic blemishes but overall a great looking bike for only $6,495.00!<br/>
