All it needs is a VFR SSS and it would be all good

 I had one for 7 years. Only got rid of it for a more relaxed postion and a change. Not the fastest or most powerful but boy was it fun and the sound with erion racing pipes  
My friend bought mine and didn"t really ride it much, he does have 4-5 other bikes. He has parked it and is talking about selling it. It had 8200 miles on when I sold it to him has around 9000 on now. 2000 ser #.....311  spotless never crashed or tiped as new(almost) condition. erion pipes on with originals also. $5500 range.  bike is in ripley NY area ,thimk 30-40 miles east of erie pa. Anyone need to talk to him pm me and will give you contact info.

I have an '02 rc51. Its rough since it was stolen just before I bought it (the theft is why the owner was willing to sell it).

I love it, even though I know its only about 75% of where it will be when I'm done.

Its different from the VFR.
Its going to be mostly a track bike with just a little weekend riding thrown in.

I have plans and fixes for some of the niggling things.

The shock link from DKR or moriwaki, get it. Even the stock shock is descent with that installed.
reverse the radiator fans and add heat shields, more on this when I post my how to write-up.
And Start a weightloss program, like BLS did but for the RC.


I'd keep the VFR though, its much more comfortable on long rides (like 300+ miles days.)..
