Gear Driven Cams

It was like yesterday when you got this! Oh man time flies...

Quick correction, the "chocolate cam" era was pre-VFR, was with some of the original VF750 Interceptors (ive got one 1983 model), the VFR they switched to the gear-driven setup and fixed the cam issues, hence the name change from VF to VFR.

I had a 2000 with full Acro’s when they first came out and I love that bike had some epic rides and forever memories. I always regretted selling it and I bought another RC 51 in about 2020 and I guess sometimes you look back on the memories more fondly than they were because I sold it shortly after. Probably the best sounding bike from the riders perspective And exceedingly reliable but porky pig heavy, pretty glitchy fueling even flashed and tuned and only made 117hp with a nice flat tq curve

This thing still looks so beautiful and iconic 😍

I have 3 of these! I love the bikes. My dream bikes. I just sold a rear fender stock awhile back for close to 1k😂 they are like gold now

great video and solid points! i couldnt even order a replacement fuel pump from honda for my SP1

Daily rode my 2002 RC-51 for a few years before I sold it with 43k miles. Only reason I sold it, was because the part availability was drying up around 2011.

Awsome sound ❤

What a beautiful day! There hasn't been a good day in NJ for like 3 weeks 🤦 rain every damn bday 🤦

I have a love/hate relationship with with my SP1. It has both attempted to murder me on many occasions and provided some of the most perfect biking moments. I'm lucky enough to live on the Isle of Man which is an environment that suits it well (if you have good tyres and and decent suspension set up).

Still love that beautiful beast!!

Great video Hero. Just another bike I’ve once owned from new and wished I’d kept. My back just overruled my head at the time.

Love the black paint scheme of the '05 and '06. I've got an '04 Nicky Hayden edition on my channel. Keep up the great content!

My 03 RC had the sato high mounts as well and no one likes riding behind me due to being hit by the exhaust pressure. Speaking of sounding like a Harley, friends at work said my bike had something wrong with it. It doesn't sound like a normal sport bike, so I told them it's a V-twin thus they called it a harley-busa 😂

The coolest era of motorcycles ever! What a bike, man! They were meant to give Ducati a direct hit with their VTwin. The Suzuki TL1000 was cool too. I don't care that a BMW S1000R makes over 200hp. The character and ride of an RC51 is matchless. Its like an original Acura NSX to me. They have soul that requires riders, NOT rider's aids. Too bad you can't find the front wheel mate of the rear because they look incredible. Cheers!

🔥🔥Loved your content on the main channel and now I an glad you made second channel for more content ❤️❤️

The turkey . That's right . Now I remember

Love the content, I just don’t think you need a second channel. I have friend who has a Nicky Haden edition RC51 who will never let it go.

My RC51 came with HELi riser bars, i personally never found my sp2 to be uncomfortable actually preferred it to the other bike other than the weight (suspension seems to be less rattled by stuff in the road; it's hard yet softer than my 600) . I also felt it's race ergonomics forced me to be in a good riding position and not be lazy. Love this bike, i sold everything else and it's now my only bike even though i ride much less now. I ceramic coated the stock exhaust to lower the heat, changed the headlights to LED, SS brake/clutch lines, lowered the gearing a little otherwise it's completely stock.

Give me first shot at it if you decide to sell. I'd love to have another 51.

Lol it wasn't the VFR that had the bad cams. It was the VF series

that's a disgustingly fast pure race bike... I'd be sketchy to ride it too, especially at speed...idk if my skinny ass would even be able to turn it lol

Can you tell me a little more about that custom fan switch? I want to built in for me one.

Spent all that cash without fixing the fundamental issue with the RC51, the suspension.

It doesn't sounds like a Harley. It does sound better than a Harley though.

If I remember right did you crash a few yrs ago on this bike or get hit or something like that .. Looks good

Lol... I just hit 10,000 miles after 20years of having my RC51.

For the CBR wheels, did you have to use spacers or any extra parts ?

I just recently went to look at a 2001 RC51 with only 5,600 miles. I'm also going to look at a 1999 Ducati 748 with 9,400 miles. Which bike should I buy?

I like your fan mod. Who makes these ones that spin backwards?

Everything is for sale, for the right price ;-)

IF you sell it I WILL BUY IT.....jsut let me know;.;.

I wanna trade my sc77 for one of these!

Had mine for 2 years and I had to sell it cause I was moving. But looking at getting another one in a few months. Wish I never sold it. But it had 27k miles and it needed a rebuilt bad.

Thank you for the video, but can we movie away from the muffled helmet audio motorcycle reviews? EVERY youtube bike channel does EXACTLY the same video. Your videos have great pace and are organized, that makes them enjoyable and stand out from other youtubers. Thank you again for the video :)

These are selling at 14k here i'm Spain and a SP2's even more, don't sell it now.

I’ll give you 8000$ for that bike.
