OK you RC riders: I am looking at getting a new bike this year and the RC-51 is a chose. (or 10R or R1) My question about the RC is "how is it to ride 2 up??"

The RC is probably thee worst street bike for two-up riding. I don't think you can find a worse bike for it.

BTW, the 10R isn't much better. The front end is light enough without the weight of a passenger.

You start out motorcycling with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.


Some people are like slinkies; they're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

never done it, but I can't imagine it would be any fun, the rear seat is about the size of my shoe.

It can be done, because I have done it times before. Only for girls that I know and the ones that are pretty. I do not see how they did it, but they like the ride. Myself, I can't sit on the passenger seat in a parking lot for a few minutes without becoming uncomfortable.
