its built to be raced so yes based on opinions i have heard they handle very well. Just because its a v-twin doesnt mean its not built for race... there a tons of v-twin race bikes... many ducattis for example

i really like the rc51's. i rode one once around the block and to me it seems like you sit really far over the tank and tossing the bike back and forth is really easy.

We aware that they get hot and are not a good commuter or in town bike.

Just an FYI.

Yea I was also told that by my buddy who has one , I'm basically buyin one to hit the twisties on the weekends and stuff and I will problay buy another bike to commute to work and stuff . I just think the RC51's looks are so sick and they are different from alot of other bikes . Plus who doesn't love a lil torque :cool:

It is not a bike for the tame of heart. If you are not a rider, it knows and will teach you the hard way. ;)

The place that rents bikes for AZ track time rents rc51 you can ride on the street. It may be something you want to check out if your thinking about buying one. A guy i ride with has one and loves it he is on his 2nd because the first got stolen from his house.
