As most here know, I bought this bike last year from abtech. It is absolutely fantastic, and ready to race. For a 170-180 pound rider I doubt you'd even have to set the sag. I haven't had to do anything but change the oil, change the numbers, and polish it. Selling as I will not be doing any trackdays this year.

Can get more pictures on request.
Dayumm, I shouldn't be looking at this stuff. Sorry to hear you're not going to be able to run it this year though.
BTW, the battery is available at several internet sellers, just make certain you get the same number, as most batteries that size don't have enough current capability to spin up the motor.
Now in stereo Visionaries say "Yes, we can."
Engineers say "Not so fast."
and Seamus is awesome
I had the opportunity to go slow on that bike 2 years ago. I wish I had some spare cash right now, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Awesome bike that as probably been maintained better than Rossi "A" bike. Good luck with the sale.

Probably my favorite bike I've owned too.

So what would it take to make it a street bike again? Brakelight switch, Custom brake light grids and aftermarket headlights? Needs a harness?
I was wandering around Bert's mega mall getting hounded by all the sales folk. To shut them down I would just ask for a RC. Nothing else seems to excite me.

That bike has been optimized for track use, from the race gas to the low restriction pipes that break windows a mile away to the slicks and removal of every ounce of unnecessary weight - meaning EVERYTHING that would make it work for the street. - For what it would take to make it back into a streetbike, you might as well get one that is already being used for dual-purpose -
Yeah, I have to agree with CBRVFR. This bike is heavily modified for the racetrack.
If getting it titled is anything like what I went through with the MV (getting it plated from a salvage cert) it's just not worth it in terms of paperwork and inspection hassles alone (I also spent over $1500 on the MV in taxes, inspections and various fees getting it road legal), much less undoing all the track specific mods that make this bike so worthy.

Was just thinking I should take a few tonight while I still have the Nikon at home.

FYI, for those that have had the opportunity to circulate around Grattan, Boo was doing 24s on this bike a couple of years ago without even pushing it . . .

All right, serious price drop, $5000, and some better new pics.

The forum seems to be compressing them, but if you want higher res pics just let me know.

You need to post it on the Rogue board. Let Sheep do it.
If someone wants to link it, I'd appreciate it.
I personally don't think it's right to join boards just to sell something so I don't do it.

You forgot to mention the flapper mod, soft rev limiter mod and PAIR mods have all been performed on this bike . . .
Thanks!

What's the problem here? This is an awesome bike!!
LTL, take off the Nixon mask, it might be hindering your attempts to sell these bikes.
BTW, I really like this bike and I'm at pain threshhold, I don't think I'll go below $5k...for anyone thinking of a lowball offer.

This is the cleanest, trickest, most pristine RC51 I have ever seen, ever. A great deal for someone.
No joke, it's beautiful. I keep telling my wife I'm going to give up street riding and go track only but I'm not quite at a point in my life to be able to afford enough track riding to be able to get my fix. If I was I'd be really tempted to pick this up. It's a lot more bike than I need though but wow it is sweet.
Edit: coincidentally it is selling for basically exactly what I think I could get out of my bike.
...dude you ride an offroad bike with slicks, 1/2 the weight of a GS, double the suspension, with a browning 50 cal going off 32" from your skull as a daily freaking driver - I'd expect anything except a nitro dragbike to be bland by comparison - SSG
and I want it so bad but the damn lottery won't cooperate with me.
I hope it goes to someone in the "family" but its not looking likely.
It very well may stay...I cut the price hoping it'll sell quick lest I lose my flagging commitment to selling it.

You'll be doing trackdays again sometime in the future, correct? Keep it! I know, I'm no help at all!
