This is one of the nicest RCs I I have ever seen

[@marcjorgensen]

Thanks man, there are nicer ones for sure, but I think mine is pretty clean 👌

[@49watersleeps]

Love seeing a properly sorted bike. Well done.

[@GarrySanchez]

Great looking bike. Can't wait to get one myself.

[@GoVols2015]

I bought a 2020 BMW s1000rr M last year and tomorrow I pick up a ‘03 RC-51. It’s gonna be hard to decide what mods I want for which bike! To be perfectly honest, I love these Hondas just as they are but sure wouldn’t mind picking-up a set of cans like you have. Very beautiful my man.

[@markmcgrath5642]

yeah the ladybirds are nice but I would have to say that Sato would be the way to go. They only made Sato for one bike and that's the RC. Ladybird makes pipes for all bikes resulting in a lot of their titanium pipes being similar in a lot of ways where as the satos are specially designed for the RC. And my satos are carbon fiber as well, eeeeww cheeky. Although Sato doesn't exist anymore so in hindsight a new set of ladybird pipes may just edge out a used Sato pipe. Just sayin

Absolutely stunning RC51 i love it. Im in Australia and just bought a 2002 white SP2 of a one owner with 9,000km’s.. its my 4th RC51 i love them, after owning alot of late model sportbikes i had to have another one, cant beat the feeling, handling and sound. Honda nailed it 👌

[@primokona]

This is a FANTASTIC BIKE.. good for you for creating an AWESOME machine..

[@kwjr.9569]

Beautiful Bike!! Still rolling my 03, 50k and climbing. And Original owner.

[@blakeolinger1220]

I love the old school fairing stay. It's unique and serves a purpose that most sport bikes need.

[@180FiftyFive]

I really like how you've kept the original look of the bike in spite of all the mods. They are all tasteful and the bike is well put together. Love the wheels and the bronze color! Clutch cover also matches really well with the top/front of the bike. Sounds like a monster too :)

[@MADOWORL]

Awesome great work great ideas and well put together. I own a 03 RC51 it's been a great bike I had it since 07 always running strong and still going. I've always thought of refreshing it but had little Ideas, seeing your bike has encouraged me to do the refresh to the bike. If you have time I would love your input , suggestions and or directions. Thank you in advance have a blessed day.

[@mmotorcycles9497]

Absolutely beautiful bike. And the pipes really set it off.

[@juliomalpica9191]

Beautiful bike. Will love to get a hold of some of the parts you have. I also have a 2003 rc

[@ashleynobody5281]

Marc ,you did a great job putting this together and breathing new life into this bike. I’m jelly!

[@marcjorgensen]

Thanks! 👍

[@basiorv2]

Awesome bike, good job

[@kristiannunez6032]

Looks great!

[@canadapainter658]

This bike is a well made beautiful bike to look at A TRUE RACE BIKE DNA in it.... Japanese should re-make it but from Titanium block and parts to make sure it weighs the minimum = lot of power and agility....

[@cartersservices3134]

High end build. Love it

[@jamiecarsley1292]

Your 03 RC51 is BEAUTIFUL, i’m getting ready to watch your Nicky virgin. i’m also an owner of the RC51 mine is an 2006 and is the first Big Bore i have ever owned ,,, and I so LOVE the RC51 , hope we get to chat some time

[@knot4real]

Well done looks correct 👍

[@jamesmorris2411]

Nice bike man. I’m on my third one.

[@Agent_954]

Wow!! a perfect RC. Do you still own it?

[@jasen8175]

Very nice, I've got an 05 SP2. Black w/43k on the odo and it runs like the day it left the showroom. Ladybird titanium banzai high mount moto gp cans from Japan on the way. Subed...

[@marcjorgensen]

I'm going to do a video in my 04 as well soon too

[@MRiggs5498]

Hi there I love what you’ve done with your bike and I would love to have a parts list and put some of them on my 05

[@markmcgrath5642]

Hello sir. I'm am too an owner of an 03 sp2 and I just got finished writing down all of the mods you have.lol Already had a lot of the mods that you had except for a select few that I didn't even know were available such as the carbon fiber rear cowl. Thank you for the insight. One question, did Tyga paint that rear cowl for you or did you take it to a auto shop to get painted?

[@marcjorgensen]

I ordered a vinyl reproduction kit and had a pro vinyl guy install it on the tail for me

[@markmcgrath5642]

@@marcjorgensen perfect! Thank you

[@ashleynobody5281]

Looks gangster!

[@maxbg]

Beautifully restored! Well done. I noticed that the stock rear mudguards are always being chopped off. Is is possible to buy stock ones anymore?

[@marcjorgensen]

They are very hard to get and super expensive. There was not much work needed restoring this one, its only about 6500 original miles. My 04, see other videos was a 45k mile basketcase I did a LOT of work on. This one mostly just added parts

[@ichristophersen6382]

I’d Love that Bolt list of hardware. I also have a 03

[@jordanfolkerts9891]

What headlights are you running

[@Slick-dGarage]

Where at in Louisiana are you at

[@keelandavis]

If you ever wanna sell it let me know. I’m in Longview, Texas.

[@marcjorgensen]

I almost contacted you to look at that R1 you were selling on Facebook! Funny you commented 🤣

[@keelandavis]

@@marcjorgensen Aw man, you should’ve. We could’ve worked something out.

[@dimitri31982]

I would love to know what kind is that exhaust is that I would like to buy one for minds

[@marcjorgensen]

Ladybird

[@chubbyguyschannel6864]

where did you get the side mirrors?

[@coopdeville8215]

Can you share your mod list names? Exhaust and riser clip on look great.

[@marcjorgensen]

I will have to look, have them all written out somewhere on a notepad

[@marcjorgensen]

I change them up a bit, this video is a bit outdated to the way it looks now.

[@coopdeville8215]

@@marcjorgensen Im sure we would all love to see the new look. Post it. Im a new owner of an RC51 SP1 and excited about it.

[@liberagreen5128]

Y si la quiero comprar esta moto , como puedo comunicarme con ustedes ?

[@joesantos8563]

Where do you get your Tyga parts from what website if you can please let me know. Much appreciated Joe.

[@marcjorgensen]

Direct from Tyga my guy

[@Huffbager]

do you still have the list of ti hardware? i'm building an sp1 track bike and i'm trying to gather as much info for it as possible

[@marcjorgensen]

I looked everywhere, apparently I must have deleted it🙄😒 most of them are available on Honda microfiche from like partzilla

[@juice8284]

Marc are you on any of the RC groups on Facebook.

[@marcjorgensen]

Most of them, and go back to the RC51 Forums pages too

[@neo5269]

Nice video, so how do you get in touch with this Mr Simmon guy. I have a RC51 with 3500 original miles that I'm trying to build too. would like to try to get some thing from japan myself. Any help would sure be appreciated! Stay safe!

[@marcjorgensen]

[@62saki91]
