Default just a quick question

im still on my journey for saving for my rc51, i should have enough in febuary or so

right now i ride an 03 sv650s

and i was just wondering how much of a difference is the jump from the sv650s to the rc51 going to be?

faster? heavier? ergos? gas?

any other input would be appreciated

thanks

OOOh expect a "small" jump in power
yeah sv650s to a V-twin as beasty as the RC51 lots more tourqe as well i would be very gentle with her and feel the bike out for a while. A role on the throttle of the RC51 is going to take a little getting used too. What a beautiful Duc eater

i went from an r6 to an 02 rc and let me tell you,you will LOVE the power. i dont think i will ever buy another inline again. i dont need to go 170mph to feel like im getting something out of the bike. the midrange power is fuckin great! i rode the r6 the other day just to ride it , and now i want to get rid of it.even if can ever afford to do alot of track days , ithink ill prally get a twin for that too.

Big difference. More power everywhere. You'll have to be careful at first.
