Showcasing a well done up RC51! Has there ever been a better sounding bike?

Whenever I post this bike I instantly get kudos and positive feedback. Whether in person or online it's upgrades and custom exhaust stand out! Since I get so many questions about what was done to it I thought I'd just make a video instead. Enjoy everyone and keep both wheels up!

So happy I stumbled on this video. When Neville bought this I had a 2000 RC51 with a few mods, nothing like this. MD did great work on this bike. I was lucky enough to ride it and it was amazing and sounded incredible. RIP brother! So glad his bikes went to a good friend of his.

[@wannaberacer7425]

Thank you for the words. I told him before he passed that even though in my possession they will never be my bikes, and I'm just taking care of them until I see him again.

[@trpla976]

Absolutely gorgeous bike ma man. My condolences on your friends passing. It is an honor to have a peice that he was so passionate about. 🤙cheers from upstate NY.

[@wannaberacer7425]

Always good to get positive vibes from a fellow rider, cheers mate!

[@williamburroughs2273]

What a sweet RC-51, I just saw one of these last week. Honda's legendary hat tip to the Tamburini Ducatis.

[@chaz951]

Clean!!! You forgot the signature on the tank. The great Nicky Hayden right R.I.P.

[@slingnstixscrappiefishing8859]

This bike is absolutely stunning!! Sorry about the lost of your friend he done an amazing job on this bike it’s a piece of art.💪🏾💯🔥

[@jamesipock3669]

I had it's older brother......a 98 Super Hawk......loved it.

[@S.Matt240]

Damn, there's a ton of money in that build. Very nicely done

[@eric62backstrom]

yep, still here. You should look up Scott Wolfe for a hidden faring stay. That would be a great inexpensive addition to that super custom bike.

[@wannaberacer7425]

Funny you mention that, I came across it just before you posted the comment. It's on my list!

[@pamshewan9181]

Your RC51 is gorgeous

[@chrispawlak14]

Very nice! I have an 01, also here in Canada. Not nearly as fantastic as yours , Hindle highs and a PC5 , love the brake upgrade. Forks are killer over the top! Love to hear you continue to keep it for your departed friend . Mine is for my older brother who passed, never will it get sold . Horrible below 100 k but what a thing as you cruise around a little faster. Be safe and thanks for taking the time to tell us about it !

[@ayowser01]

Wow... what a bike! 😍

[@SupraRyu]

Absolutely beautiful build bike! I have an 04 as well but mostly stock.

[@RT22-pb2pp]

Nice bike looks awesome and unlike most of todays bikes not seen on every corner

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Your friend created a beautiful thing. Keep it safe, keep it forever.

[@brdllc]

Holy shit. So glad this came up on my feed. So sorry to hear about your friend. I wish my friends were here long enough for us to get into bikes. I have other things of theirs I’ll never get rid of. Anyways, this is the most perfect rc51 there is, my absolute dream bike. The undertail exhaust makes this bike that much better, always thought it would look better. Thank you for sharing with us, subscribed.

[@pamshewan9181]

I had serial #7. Great bike. A bit heavy but bags of power

[@cb175s]

Beautiful bike I'm super jealous 👍👍

[@markrosenquist8259]

Wow! Absolutely beautiful. I’m sorry about your friend passing. ❤️🙏

[@marcjorgensen]

That is an incredible RC51! I am quite envious of some of those parts on that bike! Wow

Incredible. I love it. Hy from France

Bonjour mon amie!

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

Sorry about your friend 😔 nice bike,timeless classic 👌i love my 2000 929 will never sell it

[@chickentuber]

Very nice mods. Especially the pipe but also the tail lights. Great job!

[@wannaberacer7425]

Thanks!

[@TheVaughan5]

I’ve got Lazer pipes on mine and OMG do they sound beautiful! That bike of yours is everything you could ask for in a sports model. An all time classic, the best Honda ever made for road use.

[@jamesmorris2411]

Thanks for sharing man. I have a 04 Nicky as well.

[@wannaberacer7425]

Thanks James. These bikes are addictive, I want to get another one lol.

[@nigelbews3335]

I’m drooling!

[@paullewis2413]

My rc51 was stolen and the only bike I would consider as a replacement was of course another rc51. It’s a no brainer😁

[@wannaberacer7425]

Lol true. I'm looking for another one myself

[@Octogen66]

Sorry to hear about your friend - I have an 02 SP2 that I bought new, have 27500mi on it and two bros pipes. Incredible sound. Can you post another with the exhaust to listen to?

[@wannaberacer7425]

Thanks for the kind words. I will be posting a sound comparison with all my bikes, but I have to wait until spring, unfortunately

[@carlosrubiotapias3275]

I love my SP2 and all yours

[@carlosrubiotapias3275]

When I start my RC51 engine I can imagine this happening inside... kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWirfWitjtZ0mLc

yes a CBX inline honda 6 with header sounds like f1 car of yrs past when they sounded awesome.

[@frankp.9655]

Beautiful Gorgeous Bike

[@jonpowell8014]

Sad to hear about your friend fella but what an amazing bike he put together! Love these things, so deserving of the RC tag alongside the 30 and the 45, did you ever get a second one? UK here but how good do they look in the Colin Edwards Laguna Seca stars and stripes Castrol paint?

[@wannaberacer7425]

Hey Jon. Love the Colin Edwards look! I have a friend who has one, and trying to convince him to sell. He is motivated but were at different places on price point. If it doesn't work out I may go another route and get either a Duc 1098 or 848 as I have a lot of OEM parts from the 1098R that was also in my friends collection. In any case, I'm not in a rush, but I'll eventually get something. Cheers mate!

Nice bike but prefer it stock but Nice all the same.

He should have use a brembo brake as well. Nice fork (ohlins)

Sorry about the passing of your friend, do you plan on riding it around the area in 2023?

[@opsmon]

Yes for sure! I want to enjoy all my bikes as much as possible.

[@dy-no-mite9365]

As a fellow Honda street bike enthusiast that is one awesome bike. What are the names of those rims?

[@wannaberacer7425]

Thanks for the kind words. They are made by PVM. I believe they are out of Germany. They make some really nice stuff.

[@DennisMerwood-xk8wp]

@@wannaberacer7425 Love the bike my man - but its a Honda! My Italian friends will say no Honda has a soul Like a Ducati! And the Japanese V-twin just not have that Italian engine sound.😜 Take care

[@wannaberacer7425]

Dennis Merwood loool, but the honda won't break down! All kidding aside im looking to add an 848 or 1098 ti my collection. As soon as it gets warmer I'll be making a sound comparison video between the RC and an Italian beauty that you'll appreciate 😉

[@DennisMerwood-xk8wp]

@@wannaberacer7425 The Honda is a soulless appliance. The Ducati a master piece! LOL

[@DennisMerwood-xk8wp]

@rob1248996 Honda's are OK for beginners and the low-information riders amongst us rob. Like as*holes - everyone has one! When you get a little more mature and experienced maybe you can stand out from the masses by owning a Ducati or Aprilia. If you can afford one that is. Then you will be proudly riding a bike just like the ones currently dominating MotoGP and WSBK. 🤪

[@eric62backstrom]

Does sebastian at sebspeed in New York ring a bell?

[@wannaberacer7425]

I just checked them out, all I can say is wow! They do some nice work.

10k for the forks is more then that bike cost new
