Watch this video to hear it start and run 2001 Honda RC-51/RVT1000R999cc V-twin sportbikeAdult ownedClear and clean WI titleThe racing version of this bike won the World Superbike Championship twice and it is the predecessor to the CBR1000RR. This bike holds the record for highest speeding ticket ever issued at 205mph.I purchased this motorcycle in June 2012 and have put just under 5,000 miles on it since then. I toured it from coastal NC to Pittsburgh, PA and back so about 1500 of those miles were in one week. It passed NC safety inspection before I moved to Wisconsin in 2014. I have been riding this to work about once a week during the riding season. Now that I have a bike that is a comfortable two-up touring machine I have been riding the RC-51 significantly less. Includes passenger seat, as seen in some of the photos. Has some extra parts including a new set of brake pads, as well as the original owners manual. Upgrades:Corbin seatLarge battery - It has the largest battery that will fit in the battery compartment. Has never failed to start even without a trickle charge.Ducati mirrors - Installed by my mechanic, these mirrors have turn signal LEDs built into them for maximum safety.Sprocket and Chain - Replaced in 2014. Sprocket is geared lower to make riding around town much easier. It will do 172mph on stock gearing if you convert back. Healtech Speedohealer V4 - Corrects the speedometer/odometer because of the gearing change.Power Commander - Smooths out power delivery, adjustable.Blacked out wind screen. LED Undertail kit. Leo Vince SBK Slip-On Exhaust Known Issues:Fairings are original and show wear consistent with the mileage. You could buy new ones that match the stock paint or kit it out in a racing livery. Fairing turn signal on throttle side is out and loose. Gas tank has small ding on clutch side. Was there before I bought it. It's small enough that the paint didn't crack. When you're ready to take a look I can show it most evenings and weekends in Sparta. If you're on Fort McCoy and give me a day's notice I can ride it to work and show it there. Wisconsin does not require a notary for private party sales, but I'm married to one if you want a notarized Bill of Sale to go along with the clear title. I can deliver to a vehicle shipper within 150 miles of 54656 if you're not local. Happy to answer questions if needed. This is cross-listed locally so auction may terminate if a local deal is made. Mileage may increase slightly as it is ridden/shown.
