Honda RC51 | SP1 OEM Restore Part 1
Рет қаралды 13,510
Күн бұрынAt last! Behold! I've managed to get my a$$ in gear and wrap up the first part of my beloved 2001 RC51 Sp1 restore. The RVT1000R (VTR1000 SP1) is truly a special homologation machine from the boys and girls at Honda. Although in pretty good shape for her age there were some minor issues & chinks in the 'ol armor. Even a couple items that needed to be fabricated. The perfect cure for that winter hibernation sensation.

Not quite back to OEM, but it was a fun project indeed! Good luck, and I am excited to see more of your content!

I've watched all your videos and now I'm disappointed. Cos there aren't any more! The quality of your video work and editing is amazing, the sense of humour is perfect, and the content is beautiful. Why do you have only 750 subs? (I am 750/750 lol). I'd love to see more RC-51 videos, and also if you can, the VFR1000, it looks like an amazing bike.

Thanks man, appreciate the patronage! Yeah the VF’s pretty special but hasn’t run in a couple years so the carbs will have to get man-handled before heading out. Luckily (like a swift kick in the wedding vegetables) life’s getting less busy with the economy in the toilet so I’ll make some time for more vids!

@@counter-steer You're doing a damn good job convincing me I need an RC51 in my life. I sold one bike earlier this month, and just need to get rid of one more to make enough space... then I need to keep my eyes peeled! I'd been really considering either a VF1000 someday because I have a VF500F and adore it, but think it would be neat to have something with gear driven cams. But at that rate... why not just go for broke and find an RC51. I love the creatures hiding under the kimono at 1:55! You've got some of the most fun edits I've seen on bike vids. Cheers.

What can I say... they are truly great bikes and actually just starting to appreciate in value right now. I had a lead on a ‘04 but lost out ‘cause shipping would have been over $2k. East to West coast. Oh well, there’s something to be said for the SP1... I just love it. VF’s are great too, VF1000R even better and definitely going to be harder to find over the next 10 years. I need to save up for a bigger garage! Those creepy little guys are from some kids show... just bananas man
@matttriestodothings 3 жыл бұрын
@@counter-steer bigger garage seems to be the universal answer to every motorcycle enthusiasts' problem! That whole correct number of bikes = n+1 keeps catching us all off guard. Anyway, I appreciate your sharing the story of your bikes and the vids. I can't imagine they're quick to put together with your level of detail. But hey, when everything is electric and self driving, and we're all plugged into the grid and dosed with soma... We've got these to turn back to. And Im sick of scraping 38 year old rubber gaskets trying to revive another VF500F which is why I'm leaning towards something only 2 decades old as the next project 😂

Very excited to see this project after your fantastic work on the Fireblade. How do you find using the wooden table? Personally, I'm on the fence over buying a hydraulic lift or just putting together something like the table that you use. I'm limited on space so thinking that it might be better for me to have a bespoke table the exact size that I need. Thanks.
@counter-steer 3 жыл бұрын
Hey! I'm super happy with my table... the thing is you can store tons of parts and bits underneath the table so you actually end up with more space than before pulling the bike up. Which is the only draw back. Ye have to get 'er up on the bench every time. No problem if it's running but can be a pain if you're halfway through and feel the need to pressure wash or something.
