HONDA RC51
|
While the VTR1000 was aimed at the high spirited consumer, the RC51 was aimed squarely at the race-track. It's purpose was to be the basis for Honda's Superbike efforts. Right off the bat it achieved success with a second place at Daytona, and winning the 2000 World Superbike Championship. To the consumer, it was available for only $9999. Honda was said to lose money on every RC51 sold. This was a jewel of a machine, and sold out immediately.
Power in 2000 was 117.4bhp, with torque of 71.4ft/lb's. Wet weight was 488lb's.
