2005 RC51 SP-2 (aka RVT1000R / VTR1000R)

ONLY 8,740k miles. $5800.

Very clean bike with low miles. Rare to find an SP-2 with less than 10k miles. Clean title, in-hand. Video here: http://youtu.be/Jg6oGZesx-w

Why selling? Since owning it I have bought a track bike and started a family, so now I rarely ride on the road and I need to make space in the garage.

The bike: There’s nothing on it that is not useful for handling/speed (except for the tint in the windshield). Bike never crashed, never seen rain. Oil regularly replaced. Suspension set up for a 180lb rider by Washington Cycle Works, NJ.

Mods:

·        Full Micron exhaust system with carbon slip-ons
·        Power Commander III with custom map (not downloaded, actually dynoed to the engine). Makes I can give you a copy of the mapping.
·        Braided brake lines
·        Larger Spal fans on the radiators (direction can be reversed, but I have settled on sucking air in rather than blowing it out across the radiators)
·        Crash protection – frame sliders and swing-arm sliders
·        CRG levers
·        Renthal front & rear sprockets (rear has +2 teeth)
·        Renthal chain (530)
·        Heat-wrapped headers
·        Tinted windshield
·         Switch to turn on fans when rider wants

Consumables:

·        Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa tires (55 profile rear for better turning) – almost new with 90% life in them
·        Engine ice
·        Repsol fully synthetic oil changed in May and K&N filter
·        HH brake pads

Extras:

·        One full, as new fairing side (I never needed new fairings, I just happened to buy this from ebay)
·        A set of Dan Kyle Pair block-off plates
·        A Dan Kyle flapper valve block off cover
·        A 10.7 Kg/mm Eibach rear spring (stock is 9.8 Kg/mm)
·        Original windshield
·        Repsol fork oil

· · Second key

· Rear seat cowl (comes with seat)

One note: The RC51 is not a city bike – it doesn’t like the heat. You can Google this. Most owners try to reduce the heat made by the engine (as have I – see above). As long as you’re not planning on sitting in traffic, you’ll be fine.

This is a clean bike with low miles.

Please come and look at the bike & talk to me about it. No trades.

Can deliver locally to 07701.

Tested: Dual Clutch Transmission

Tue, 18 Sep 2012

Been blasting all around the UK on my Crosstourer DCT this summer. The bike is mega in a Range Rovery-posh and grunty kind of a way. But it’s that engine and gearbox that transcend the normal into new realms of brilliance. I’ve been doing my best not to bore people too much about DCT but it’s hard.
