Honda RC51 | SP1 OEM Restore Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มี.ค. 2021
- At 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.

Being an RC51 owner and lover, you sir have my full attention.
...much more to come!
@@counter-steer counting on more content . We're all watching , were out there brother
Yeehaw! Lucky for you I can’t seem to help myself... love makin this stuff!
I love mine going on almost 24 years best bike ever
Nice job! good work on the tail! keep it coming!!❤
your rc51 is beautiful, thanks for your videos I love them
Thanks man, I love making ‘em! As for the RC51... will never sell her!
Having owned one for 15 years, I've literally just sold my 2000 SP-1 (it was collected half an hour ago!). Why am I now watching TH-cam vids of them!?!?! Is there a regret creeping in!? Hmm
Coincidence, I think not... but have you had a SP-2? Hmm ;p
@@counter-steer hmm indeed! Ahhh Don't get me thinking about them!! Lovely machines...
As someone looking to find an RC51 as its been my dream bike this video was amazing. Also your editing skills are another level. Keep up the amazing videos!
Thanks man! Keep yer eyes open and you’ll find one… you won’t be disappointed.
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 Ace, I can't wait!
The quality of your edits is amazing! I'm looking forward to the next installment in your series. I rebuilt an RC51 on my channel as well that was covered in Rhino Liner...boy was that stuff a mess. Not quite back to OEM, but it was a fun project indeed! Good luck, and I am excited to see more of your content!
Thanks dude, appreciate it! Oooh Rhino liner’s a killer... bet even airplane-paint stripper doesn’t touch that stuff!
We need a part 2 sir!
I hear ya! It pains my heart-parts to not have time these days but I'll get back on it again I PROMISE!
Good deal on the mud guard looks great. I know I’ve chopped up everyone I came across when I was younger now I’m always looking for undamaged ones for my restorations.
Thanks! Yeah me too... now a bike’s unique if it isn’t chopped. I know a guy who just started re-manufacturing OEM ones. Will be interesting to see!
Hi, i bought SP1. I'm owner since 3 months. I rebuild rear fender like you. I hope you will post part 2 soon. And i have same VFR 750 like you. I'm from France. Bye ✌️
Awesome, happy trails dude! Busy as all hell this summer but working on part 2!
@@counter-steer great. I'm glad to read this. Good luck for all. ✌️
Hello, thanks for part 2, very very good job. I have finish mine this winter. th-cam.com/users/shortsd2N2haJgp34?feature=share
Regards ✌️
Fantastic video. Thanks for making it!
Cheers Matt!
@@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
@@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 😂
more videos of your rc51 please!!
Ask and yea shall receive! Just not now;) I’m workin on it!
So good 👌🏼😎
Thanks man, gets me through the winter!
Love your videos! Skilled work, good humor and very cool bikes! (own a RC36-2 myself)
Thanks dude! RC36-2 is on the best... you sir, have good taste
@@counter-steer please do a film on your VF1000R too 👌🏻😃
Now that was a more interesting ($$$) frame-up rebuild!
@@counter-steer doesn't necessarily have to be a rebuild, just a good ride and perhaps a little photosession like you did with the Blade 👍🏻 would be cool "occifer" 🤣

Being an RC51 Nicky Hayden race rep owner ( the only NH race rep in UK) I found the riffs and other distractions too much to deal with.
🇨🇵😋 Honda SP1 🥰
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.
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.
Great videos sir! Can´t wait for more!
After 20 years now i bought a nearly new SP1 too and this is the bike i ever wanted!
Forget all the new s**t modern toy bikes with all kind of integrated supports for losers...
This is a pure and raw motorcycle for men with two huge juicy testicles!!!
Congrats! Truly a special beast. Easy on the double clutch ;p
Need to remake my tail guard for my 95 900RR
Yeah man, CBR 1100XX blackbird is the same shape on the bottom half. I know a guy who started making OEM under-tails for the SP1, maybe one day he’ll do Fireblades too!
@@counter-steer don’t know that I ever saw the VFR on your vids (maybe I should watch more) but watched ALL the 900RR ones. I’ve got one of them too -90’
@@DuffsterZ I absolutely love my VFR 750 F2 dude... I’m lucky enough to have a near mint ‘95.
No more?
It’s in the works! Life got hella crazy busy…
more videos please !
You betcha! Can't seem to stop myself... and it's a great reason TO BUY MORE BIKES!
