I managed to ride an RC51 last night. It wasn't much of a ride to get a good impression, but the sound was great. Loved the gear whine and the v-twin music. It felt familiar, like a Honda. One thing that struck me was how deceptive the speed is. Everytime I looked down at the speedo I had to double-take. Wish it could have been more than town miles, but oh well.
