This is likely the most desirable RC51 on the planet. A Euro model SP2, the owner (a former UK chap now residing in Tokyo) has loviongly tweaked and personalized virtually the entire bike. Tons of stuff: suspension and brake alterations (Ohlins, Brembo), bodywork, Scotts dampener, Sato goodies, performance add-ons (PCIII, custom mapping, rev limiter mod, custom air intake, carbon fibre, you name it this baby has it in spades. He goes by the screen name Stig on the RC forum and I think it's just the sexiest RC51 on the planet. Makes my couple bling items look pretty drab. But then he's dropped the coin into it that I could never do (at least until my lottery winnings come through) and live to tell about it. He goes to Motegi almost every year, and often rides the bike there. What a place to visit on an iconic part of HRC heritage that has bee so painstakingly improved upon. Can you say drool?

If ever I would retire my RC51...

Now in comparison, I've only added billet levers and carbon mirros and a carbon rear tire hugger (all totalling under a hundred bucks). Stig does all his own work (he builds custom high end autos for private owners Mercedes, Ferarri, etc) but has invested over double what I paid for my bike in extras and custom bits. He also has a VFR 750 that he had containered over to Japan last year that he had stored back in the UK since he left over 10 years ago. Here's my bling...kinda pales in comparison
