Honda knows they've made the most perfect pure sportbike and they're smart enough to leave it alone.

Sure you can buy a used Duc for cheaper and I almost did. Then I realized that Ducs need valves checked way to often. Parts are expensive and I'd be buying a used bike. I wanted something new and a little less snooty and more reliable than a Duc. The RC was an easy pic after I spent a few miles on one.

After the first ride on the RC you realize no other bike can make you THIS happy for so little money. I don't even have after market pipes and I love mine. Something about gear driven cams makes me smile.
