Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 2001 Honda RC51. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

Sold between in 2000 and 2006 in two different versions, the RC51 has gone down as one of the most legendary motorcycles to ever come out of Honda, well-deserving of the “RC” designation that’s graced other famous Hondas like the RC30, RC40, and RC45.

With 133 horsepower, 71 ft-lb of torque, and Honda reliability, it was an absolute gem. Cycle World thinks this is one of the best used bikes you can buy, and we’d have to agree. This was Honda’s take on the V-Twin replica racer, beating Ducati at it’s own game with multiple World Superbike Championships and a AMA Championship.

Manufactured in January of 2001, this example is VIN: JH2SC45341M101487. The seller is the owner of Adrenaline Cycle in Swansea, Massachusetts and this comes out of his personal collection. He acquired it five years ago from a local private party.

The odometer shows 17,674 miles.

Adrenaline Cycle handled a restoration for this bike in the past, which included a complete respray with hand-painted lettering under the clear coat.

It was serviced with a full fluid flush 40 miles ago. It’s equipped with Michelin tires from 2004.

Modifications:
Zero Gravity windscreen.

Power Commander.

Cosmetic Blemishes:
We do not see any significant cosmetic blemishes of note.

The sale includes the owner’s manual, took kit, and parts microfiche (not pictured).

Currently located in Swansea, Massachusetts (please make an appointment for an inspection), this Honda is offered on a clean Rhode Island title. Have any RC51 stories or questions about this listing? Let us know in the “Comments” tab!
