RC51 - Testing Honda's Last True Sport Production - VTR1000 SP2 / RVT1000R SP2

- A comprehensive Hugger-to-Hugger review, history, walk-around, and ride of Honda's RC51 SP2 RVT1000R / Honda VTR1000 SP2
It was Y2K and Honda’s 4 cylinders had been losing to Ducati who was enjoying a displacement advantage with its 996cc L-twins in 750cc World Superbike. So Honda designed a purpose-built WSBK Ducati killer, and in 2000, Honda and Colin Edwards did just that; beating Bayliss and Bostrom on the Ducati 996. Fantastico!

Missed the Intro and Outro from CA for a while. Nice review and the bass was so intense with the bike running I had to turn the headphones down.
Yes, like a Lucas THX theater...just need the VR goggles.
@@FancyAnimal or maybe VFR goggles!
I’ve had numerous R1s, ZX10Rs over the years but I miss the one RC51 I owned the most. Don’t really want to ride anymore but I’d still love one at home so I can admire it in the corner of the lounge.
@@PacificNorthwest777 Good move. It’ll make a great discussion piece though it will be hard to resist riding at times I’m sure.
That's the best sounding Japanese bike ever made. In the 20 years since the RC51 appeared there really hasn't been all that much progress. Just fancier electronics.
Yup...Honda had a mission.
The original VFR 750 V4 sounds better imho!
Not a fan of Suzuki's, but the TL1000 sounds magnificent!!
You forget crossplane R1 existed?
Not a chance. RC30, RC45, VFR750 and current R1 all sound much better
I bought one 2 years ago with 11k miles. Tuned by Dan Kyle. One of Honda’s best motorcycles. It was literally built to beat Ducati. It didn’t just beat Ducati...It went undefeated in 2002 World Superbike.
Yup. Just remember though, Ducati still one the manufacturer’s championship that year and almost every year from 1991 to 2011. My 1199 ruined the winning streak 🥲
I bought mine new in 2002. Other bikes have come and gone, but I still have my RC51 SP2!
Same here
Absolutely will never sell mine .
Bill Burr doing bike reviews. Love it.
Totally.
He's like Bill Burr doing an impersonation of Jerry Seinfeld
Joey Dunlop won his last couple races at the Isle of Man in 2000 on a RC51. To honor him there are 2 statues on the island of Joey sitting on a SP1. Valentino Rossi won his first and last Suzuka 8 hour along side Collin Edwards on a SP1. I thought that was pretty cool. Such an amazing success story that bike is! Thanks for the video
Just to be clear Rossi raced there the year prior but crashed out I believe.
Dunlop was given the fireblade 929 as a replacement but he thought the bike was a donkey so he took the SP back of the shelf and won the TT with it. The RC was a fantastic bike, I was a shame about the 929, it was a donkey! i owned 1
Wow didn't know that.
Just got one of these a couple months ago and I absolutely love it!
Of course because the rc51 is a legend, probably the best bikes ever!
Lovely machines, sold mine unfortunately with 45,000 miles on and still felt tight.
Nice! I broke out my RC51 this morning to start her and you come out of nowhere with an RC51 video! What?! Great stuff!
Ride the wave bra
Top 3 bikes for me. A buddy back in Maryland had that exact bike. Hearing him pull into the coffee shop and taking off down the street was awesome. I would buy one in a second if my back wasn't so bad. Gorgeous bike .
The only time my back doesn’t hurt is when I’m on a superbike. Cheers!
Welcome back! I find your analysis to be the most enjoyable of ALL the motovloggers out there. Keep up the good work !
Thanks chief. Ride safe!
Superb motorcycle when Honda and HRC put the effort in they really produce some outstanding machines, great to see you back 👍
He's back baby! Missed your videos mate.
Ciao bene gratzi bene!!!
As others have said, enjoyable, informative, and entertaining. Thank you for explaining my new to me bike.
lovely to see you back sir. Miss the content. Love the engineer mindset.
🥸
I had a 2003 and put 15,000 miles on it. An Ohlins rear shock is a must have. Other than being heavy by today's standards and prone to overheating in traffic (side mounted radiators with fans that need reversing to work properly) it's a fantastic bike. It absolutely rails at speed. Rock solid front. Engine is bulletproof. Torque in every gear (6th is almost useless) and every rpm. I sold mine for the same price I paid for it after 10 years of ownership. It had so many unobtanium parts on it I had a hard time relaxing on the bike. I could have parted it out for more than the bike was worth, but why destroy a piece of art.
You forgot to mention that you could stuff a drive-thru foot long with the works in the trunk. Only the TL1000 can rival its lunch capacity.
This damn algorithm's scary good. As an SP2 owner (2003), I can't remember ever looking up RC videos on here (it's too old for anything of interest & I know it well enough that I've never looked up "how to" videos or anything like that) and yet the TH-cam had this in my top recommended just now.
Very cool. Thanks for giving the platform a little love. Thumbs up and a "subscribe."
And to echo your comments on the current pricing, I picked mine up in '016, ~12k mi, original fairings w/out a scratch & overall excellent condition. $3500 iirc & there were a handful for sale in my search area (2 states) that ran the gamut of mileage and condition ($1500 for beat and up). Lately they seem to be $3500 for the cheapest beat example w/junk ebay bodywork & 35k mi.
I could ramble on about the RC's for days but surely no one's even made it this far. Cheers!
I’ve got you beat. I started growing a beard and TH-cam started posting beard product ads even though I’ve not once googled anything beard related. With regards to everything that was once cheap, the internet and eBay have made everything collectible and overpriced. Now the 90s bikes are trending.....god help us!
Hey Fancy- it is so great to see you back! Your channel is one of my absolute favorites- so glad to hear there is more in the pipeline. Was worried you got the plague but glad you are back as great as ever! Stay safe :)
Frankly I wish I licked a gas pump handle a year ago and got it over with. Here’s to 2021. Cheers!
This is my next bike bike, my first bike was a Erion racing cbr929, I love love my Honda, gotta have it in my garage
Up until today, I still got a hard on for this bike. RC51 is a legend.
Thank you for this! First Sport Bike I fell in love with as a kid🥲 (well my neighbor had a TL1000R too) I’m 24 now and have the equivalent to that, 2003 Aprilia RSV Mille 👌🏾
Mile is in my top 12 list of inglorious bastards. Working on that video now. Cheers!
@@FancyAnimal if you wanna do a review on it, it’s all yours
@@NudaMan does it need snow tires?
@@FancyAnimal no no lol I’m in the Bay Area like you buddy lmao
@@FancyAnimal I work at Scuderia West
Great video. Always fun to recognize familiar roads on YT. Ride safe 👍
Beautiful bike. I actually prefer the sports bikes with heavy on fairings. Just seem to look better imo
Heck man, for a sec... i thought that you were finally discovering the joys of the slightly used "used" bike scene...
which, i just happen to love, love and yes... love ! :]
haha... Spidey !
6,800 super wow !
a fast track bike... long tracker !
Glad to see ya back
Was lucky to own one from new back in the day, wish I kept her.
Love my Guzzi Nero Corsa v11 Lemans, when it is running..which it is not. (Oil Starvation due to the oil pick up location). The RC51 is beautiful!!!
Sorry to hear. What’s the damage? Crank? I’m sure you’ve heard about the slosh plate to correct this....
th-cam.com/video/BNphOOWeqYs/w-d-xo.html
@@FancyAnimal I believe, at this point, the entire engine should be checked out. I just recently understood the oil pick-up issue and the slosh plate. (I ended up on a unimproved road on the California coast with very steep sections). Thanks for the site!
Awesome, you are back. still alive, good news.....
Really good to see you back. I enjoy your channel. 👍🤙
Great review of a classic bike, thank you
So beautiful bike.
I love this video so much hahaha, good job man !! :D
Cheerio govnah
Should have just put a huge #46 on the screen!! THIS AND THE NINJA ARE THE BIKES THAT MADE ME FALL IN LIVE WITH SPORT BIKES!!
Great review, I want one now.

I have a SP1 and love it. I would never get rid of it. Get you one. I promise you won’t regret it. It literally makes your balls bigger! Lol
Cool!Love this Honda model.!I can't have a opportunity for bought an RC51,that's why I make it by myself from VTR1000f Firestorm..))Installed injectors,Megasquirt Ecu,rear subframe,wheels,plastic covers,etc.
I have a 05 which I bought new still has only 15k miles. I have upgraded lights turn signal Akra PC Mupo suspension etc but nothing compares to Honda new RRR which I also own. It truly is the most comfortable and best handling motorcycle I have ever ridden. HRC still lives on.
Sweet ride. Sounds gorgeous too. Shame about the bar end tat. Anyhoo, good to see you back - my fave vlogger from the other side of the pond 👍
Such a cool bike. From those years I preferred the CBR954RR for the all around Sports bike. It was faster, gobs of torque, and happier to ride around town. However, owning a track purposed race bike on the streets on the RC51 was way unique. I also loved the way they sounded like a helicopter landing at idle with the right exhaust.
Both cool bikes. I don't think a 954 is faster around a track than an RC51...maybe at the top end of a straight line. Power commander makes the around town habits between the bikes the same.
Always wanted this bike. Couldn’t afford one I like so I went with my next choice. Anniversary xb12R. Came from a highly upgraded sv560 to a few modded Harley’s and the buell really does it for me. It check all the boxes but I do want a rc51 and an inline 4 but that one is to be determined.
Have you considered a Honda Super Chicken, AKA SuperHawk? Similar power and capacity motor to the RC51. Great street bike.
Perhaps all good things must come to an end. Nevertheless, great video and thanks for your humor. I always enjoy your videos.
In the immortal words of the Arnold “I’ll be back.”
Good evening from France 🇨🇵, I love this mythical machine, normal I have an SP1 🤭🤣
Bon goût mon ami...à votre santé!
I wouldn't mind having an SP2 in the garage. First track day I've ever done one of these rumbled past me on the outside and scared the shit out of me. This was back in 2006 and I wanted one ever since.
Hit me up - I can make your dream a reality! Marty

Really enjoyed that, good informative video 👍😎
Cheers mate!
If all goes well, I'll be picking up a black SP2 today. Has some very tasteful upgrades, average miles and a good price.
Back in the day I owned #236 RC30. This isn't the same but it will be nice to have a race inspired bike again.
Currently riding (1 of 7 bikes) a high mileage Superhawk. It's fun and reliable but a bit of a beater.
I'm pretty excited to have filled my wish list.
I'm done. Finally done with the wishing.😁
P.S.
Just realized I had committed before on this video.
Instead of just watching, I'm doing my pre-purchase research.
Due to parking space. I'll have to send the Superhawk down the road. The next owner will get a solid bike for a good price.
Not only is the RC51 coming home. So is a DRZsm.
Two of my wish-list bikes to complete the list.
Maybe I'll do a walk-around with the two bikes soon. I'll include the recently acquired ZRX1200 as well.
Good Lord this place is getting full.😎
RC30 is a nice looking bike but overrated otherwise, and can’t touch an RC51 on the street or track. SuperHawk is probably the last best kept bang for the buck secret.
@@FancyAnimal
The RC30 is highly appreciated because of its rarity and exotic makeup.
Also have to compare it to the counterparts of it's day. Mine was a 1990. That was the end of the run so it was really a 1988 bike. The last 300 came to the States.
I agree. The Superhawk is underrated fun.
@@franktaylor7617 there are certain bikes that have the pedigree and the performance to match their perceived value, like a 916, Desmo RR, or 675 Daytona. The RC30 isn’t worth 10k, let alone the 40 or 50k these collectors are shelling-out. There are a lot of people buying stuff for the totemic idea of what something is, rather than the reality of what it actually is. The ego is a hell of a drug.
@@FancyAnimal
There's a lot of people that would disagree with you.
We're all entitled to voice an option.
Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay.
Take art for example. I wouldn't pay $10 of some of that crap. I might pay $10 hauled away from my front yard. Yet people pay thousands of not hundreds of thousands.
The RC30 is worth what people pay for them.
Not liking its performance or thinking it's overrated doesn't change anything.
It IS a very limited production race bike. Meant for endurance racing, not sprints.
Maybe the OW01 is overrated too?
In my opinion. Anyone thinking the RC30 doesn't perform well compared to a completely newer or different class of booked.
Simply doesn't understand what the RC was intended to be.
With that being said.
Opinions are like bellybuttons and a$$ holes.
Everybody has at least one.
@@FancyAnimal
P.S.
I passed on the RC51SP2.
It did have some nice upgrades but it's covered in Chinese knockoff bodywork. The guy never mentioned it and I failed to ask.
Some sketchyness with the title lead me to believe it was a wrecked rebuild or X race bike.
Even with almost $2000 off the asking price.
I was no longer interested.
400 Mile drive round trip.
Nevertheless I did end up with the DRZsm for a fair price. The RC51 will have to wait until I find the right bike. I'm in no hurry.
The Superhawk will fill the twin cylinder slot for now.
👍
nice bike and probably the best review I've ever seen. Love the style of your video!
Thanks chief!
Great bike love the bike
I've owned two RC-51s, neither had a set of those Sato pipes.
They make me want to buy a third RC so I can have a set of those amazing pipes
They look a little large on the bike, but sound pretty dang good. Just make sure no one is standing behind the bike because they aim right at their face.
@@FancyAnimal lol. That woudl just make me want to aim at peopels faces
Good luck finding a set . Went with mid Hindles on mine .
Love the video lots of good information. And in process of looking for one of these. I have a Ducati 749 2005. I will still keep it. But originally I wanted an RC51. Can't wait to get one.😁😎. Thanks again for all the information.
Can’t go wrong with a 749. Hopefully things quiet down on the RC51 prices. Cheers!
@@FancyAnimal love both bikes. Friend of mine had one RC51. I drove it . Amazing bike
Must say one of the best review clips and the funniest.
Thanks chief
My RC51 sits in my shop looking good and every once in a while I think I should sell it as I don’t ride it enough. Then I take it out for a rip up the twisty mountain highway by my place and declare I’ll never sell it. I also have an RD 350 LC track bike and a 996 Super Hawk.
Just the sound..... love it :)
Nice review mate. Well done.
Looks like a lot of fun to ride.
G'Day from the Land of OZ
Love the sound of a 90° Vtwin sports engine. Cruising at 90 mph it sounds like an airplane prop just above idle. BZZZZZZZ
glad you're back
Great review , love the funny moments where you pitched your voice up. What is your recording set up sound is great
Enjoyed the hell out of this video 🤙🏽
Thanks chief!
I had a work mate offer me an SP2 in mint, stock condition with the stunning white and black paint. Man I really wish I had the cash at the time because it was a jizz machine.
Bloody double deckah. Get a Honda SuperHawk. Slightly different motor but same experience at 1/3 the cost.
So much short shifting… great sound; great review and an awesome machine!!
I have an SP2 and I love it... BUT... I ❤️ my RC45 more....😊😂😊
Love That #69 🇺🇸 Decal On It.
#Honda rc51 , #Nickyhadens #69 , One ever Dam race , RipNH , Hondas #1 hands down !
Always wanted one but they were a bit out of my price range.
I've got several bikes even a RG500 stuffed into a 93 Honda MC21.
I really wanted a twin in the line up. I picked up a nicely mod'ed Superhawk for $1200. Of course it's a much more street oriented bike. A bit more comfortable too.
Nevertheless, the big twin works very well. It's a nice departure from the other 4 cylinders I have.
Great work on the video 👍
I’m working on a video about the superhawk. Great bike.
@@FancyAnimal
I agree.
It does have its short comings but overall it's a fantastic bike for the price.
Although the used prices have seemed to be rising lately.
It's actually the newest bike I have. 1998.
I'm sort of an old school super bike guy.
Look forward to seeing the Superhawk video.
Subscribed.
@@franktaylor7617 seems like the prices on everything are rising. Cheers!
I’m happy I had enough sense to fall for these while they were new. I’m mad that I didn’t have enough sense to know how legendary they would be viewed down the road, bc I sold mine….. for a cbr1000……. Wtf man
It’s funny you should say that. The bike featured in the video was almost sold for a CBR 1000. He had a minor accident and the insurance company was going to give him a lot of money so he had considered selling the bike for a new CBR 1000. I talked him out of it.
These are not getting cheaper! I started riding in 1975 and ran a one man bike shop from 1998 to this year while in the Naval Reserve and later the Army Reserve. Bought/sold/fixed/collected and always thought the Sportbikes would be worth money someday. In the early 2000's the Kawasaki and Suzuki Triples were going up, along with RD's, Z1's and CB750's, and now they have gone nuts. But I'm seeing, and maybe because of how fast the old collector bikes are disappearing, higher and higher prices on ZX11's, early Gixxers, R1's , Blackbirds, etc. Seems like not long ago you could get nice Liter bikes for $3,000 to $5,000, and thinking of it, the RC51's were higher on the used market. Now try finding RC's, CBR954's, VFR800's (gear drive), ZX12's, TL1000's, SV1000's, heck the 600's are getting spendy. Either the Modern Sportbikes are getting shipped overseas or there's lots of guys laid off with Biden money to spend.
I have almost the same setup on my RC51, I do have a Durbahn air box. But also have have the Sato's low mount...
The Cars and Coffee intro is good, need more of that Seinfeld impression. Im in South Bay if you want to test a Royal Enfield Conti GT650.
Haven’t watched you in a while but I am very impressed with your knowledge and the way you explained that motorcycle I don’t think you could’ve been any more thorough and I just think it was a great great video keep it up I’m glad I stumbled across yeah I just got Roku and tell you the truth it’s hard to like a video or find even the most current ones I go to your station in subscribe and they start showing me stuff from a month or two out I don’t get the latest what is great you do a great job and I hope the best for you
Thanks chief. You’re getting a Snickers!
Marvelous sound ❤️
Great video, have always loved the RC51. My son was born in ‘02 and his name is Colin ... lol. Those roads are familiar, dated a girl in N. Andovah. We’ll look for you in the Spring, southern NH here. I’m on a 13 1199S and my buddy is on a 14 1199R. He had an SP-1 new back in ‘01. Quite familiar with that bike but I think they worked out some kinks with the SP-2.
Kid, we can take ah eleven nine nines to Kelly’s. Kyle left Seacoast BTW. He’s over at at Freedom Cycle I think.
@@FancyAnimal yes he is. I used to haul my 999S up to him at BCM from CT back in the day. See you in 6 to 8 weeks brotha
Amazed Honda used THAT modern of a gauge waaay back then. CBR didn't get that for another decade+.
From Peabody. Love seeing you ride my local roads!
There was a cop in the Honey Dew parking lot by the Wakefield rotary so I couldn’t rip around the roundabout. If Wakefield doesn’t pinch you, Reading will. In California, local cops don’t care.
@@FancyAnimal Good to know. I am usually coming from Lowell/Salem street and enter Reading after going around the lake. I will keep this in mind. Also the GF was in the room and thought I was watching Bill Burr review bikes
I wish honda would make this again.
The sound is the most famous thing at this bike 👌
Noice, love my RC... bring on summer!
I remember around my house one off Tease. Sp2 Whith yoshi exaust sound like chopper .Congrats from Uruguay.
Superbe vidéo, moto mythique
I had an SP1 and have an SP2 .... Fantastic bike
I had one of my worst tank slappers on the SP2 ...... It got a Scott's damper that same week and it's never done it again
How fast were you going on that wobble?
@85/90 mph @@ghost_3_actual319
Great to see you back man! How have you been?
Warm and vertical. Hope all is well chief
My favorite sport bike ever
Man I'm putting back my Harris high mounts back on tomorrow, stock is way too quiet for this bike. Time to shake the ground again
I never had this bike but my first bike at 17 was a vtr1000 it was beautiful (kinda clapped by the time I got it but still)
After a test ride, I can't say I like these. Might be exclusive or more expensive but I much prefer the RSV Mille.
What didn’t you like?
Never been so obsessed with a bike as with the Rc51. Owned the 2002 Isp2) until some low life stole it, now with the 2001 mode. No other bike does it for me. Don’t even think about changing this classic.
Do you notice much difference between the bikes?
They look a bit different in Australia. I had an all red SP1. The SP2 is very similar to this one
Love your vids. I would like to see you do a video on the cross plane R1.✌
Beat sounding 4. What year R1 is your favorite? I’m partial to the ‘98 in white with red accents...even with the red seat!
Need to try a nice Aprilia RSVR to see how it compares. Another incredible value for $5500, with Ohlins.
The Aprilia is at another level. Honda should have done an SP3 to catch-up.
Enjoy your videos, make some more :)
Great video!!!, You got a new subscriber from this one lol. I have wanted this bike from launch back in the day, i finally picked up a 2003 this past summer in june and i put 11,000 miles on it this past season up here in the western new york area. 39,000 miles total and the bike feels and rides like a dream. never going to sell it. Im in the process of taking it apart and doing all of the maintenance and the infamous valve check/adjustment. i have a video of mine on my youtube page. in the process of making maintenance videos for this bike. can't wait for the spring, ride safe bro.
That’s some good miles chief. Glad you finally scooped one up. The RC30/45 and CBR thousands get all the attention, but the RC51 is the greatest performance bike Honda has ever made, and a whole lotta fun on the street. Can’t imagine the valve adjustment is worse than my 1199 desmo...took me 2 weekends. Will checkout your progress. Cheers.
good review. I've always had a thing for the rc51, I'll always regret getting a 929 instead of an rc51. and I think the most important thing about it, especially the sp2, is it was an affordable piece of hrc kit
yes, but there are not many 929's around either.
Sold my 929 and bought an SP1, both great examples of Honda builds . Still have it , sits beside my 22Busa, ride it whenever I need a smile . Horrible in town honestly, but what a beautiful thing ! Plan to be buried with it !
Love this video!
Guys keep ya factory mirrors i caught thag vlice reference😂😂
Talk about tank slapped my mate had one he never experienced tank slippers as bad as he did on his sp1 , I was behind him both times , the smoke off the front tyre when he landed the wheelies
I have 2 superhawks as you yanks call them, I have to RC51 SP1 and 2 RC51 SP2.
The motors on these bikes are sweet,
I will never sell amy of them, get 1 of the bikes back from Suter Racing tomorrow from tuning, STILL makes more power than stock at 76k miles on the clock.
Amazing bikes the SP better than my 2017 fireblade
Indeed ol’ chap. The owner of the RC51 in the video had considered selling it for a CBR...I conveyed the same sentiment. SuperHawks are the greatest bike no one knows about. What’s the deal with the SuperHawk cam chain tensioners? They as bad as advertised?
@@FancyAnimal 1 of my firestorms as we in Europe call them had 4 engines in its first 6k all auto CCT failures 1 was out of warranty fix. Need a front head like they all do, put manuals in and its now sitting on 151k miles and still making 114hp,
If you ever wanna ride in Europe in the alps let me know I got bikes you can use no problem at all.
My channel name is same as Facebook page, hit me up for when this pandemic crops over .UNLESS I move state side which is possible and I'm bring the bikes with me. Including a 92 and 99 blade, apriiia RS125 and RS 250 zx9r and an honda ST1100.
Toys toys everywhere
@@swissmotorbiketours3619 they say 3rd time’s a charm. Looks like 4 engines did the trick. I had planned to be in Europe last spring. Probably won’t get over there until spring 2020. Will look you up. Cheers!
@@FancyAnimal you mean Spring 2021 lol or 22 Drop me a PM on my page and we can talk more if you wish, i dont charge anything but the insurance on my bike rest is all good, even then its aint alot its like 50 bucks a month to add an extra person on my insurance
@@swissmotorbiketours3619 2022. Might ship my bike over. Cheers!
Nice review ! But I don’t give my bike to some stranger to review. I will pass thank you..
Still best sounding bike ever
Hi Fancy Animal, hey I’d like to see this bike compared to the Suzuki TLR and maybe the Ducati it was built to kill. I have a low mileage mint TLR and the engines sure sound similar. A clean low mileage RC51 is pricey, even more than you say!
I did a detailed overview of the TLR in this video th-cam.com/video/h6Cuz8a0cDM/w-d-xo.html ..skip ahead to 12 minutes. But ya, that would be a good comparison if I could get my hands on all 3 bikes. Cheers!
Best looking bike.
This and the 98 gixxer 750...👌👌
Bike is amazing. Love the sound these things make.
btw, how are those Massachusetts's Staties with bikers these days?
Business as usual. They’re tucked behind every highway shrubbery and bridge buttress in the state.
The real monster
