Coming from an RC owner,

B)The RC is a totally different kind of ride. Ruff, and grumble BUT amazing and pretty much historical.

C)If you are planning on anything like a comfortable ride, stay with the 636, but if you want a torque monster get the RC.

D)As stated tires no issues, cheap and easy fix.

E)Balls to the wall? The RC is one of the most balls to the wall bikes ever made. Ducati killer back in the day. Honda designed them specifically for that reason. Not high in the RPMS but right off the line and through the gears.\

636 is a solid bike no doubt, but the RC is a legend. One of the reasons I bought mine.

I’ll chime in here, owning 3 RCs (street/play) and 1 600RR (track) myself.

As for (B & C), the RC is a different ride. I wouldn’t say it’s rough; the ergonomics of the bike are set from the factory as more for the track than others. You must set up the suspension and if you plan on riding distances then I would invest in a Sergeant Seat. I have this seat and have had the Corbin also. I say had, because I sold it due to the Sergeant being a hell of lot more comfortable on rides period.

I myself I have ridden an RC from Huntsville AL to back here in Bellbrook in one day. It was about 8 ½ hours. Even when I got back here, I still took the bike out to the twisties for a little fun. How was I able to do this without hurting at all….it had a SERGEANT SEAT on it. I’m sold on their seats period after that experience. They do cost more than Corbin but are worth every penny.

Like I’ve stated, you would need to set up your suspension, change the seat and change the rear tire over to a 190/55. This will make your riding experience on the bike a hell of lot more enjoyable.

Another fix to the higher gearing the bike has stock is changing the 16/40 to a 15/42. It will become a different bike after that. I have 2 of mine set up this way and KRUELHOUSE here on the board just did this to his. So ask him what he thinks.

You can also ask him about suspension. We used to ride together all the time when he was here in Dayton. He rode his, then rode mine after I tweaked the suspension to a PERFECT RAILING set up for me. Ask him how the ride was on mine.

The RC is a great street bike. It’s predictable and will get you out of troublesome situations with ease. As far as railing the curves. I go down with the Junkies and I’m only in 2nd or 3rd through the roads. All you have to do is roll off the throttle and roll back on. The bike does not fall when rolling off, like a lot of others do. When others are off the gas in a turn, you can crank it on and run them down.

If you have the chance to grab on 04 in great condition, DO IT.

These are becoming harder to find in great condition. It’s also the only year for the anodized frame/swingarm.

There are a couple of easy mods that can be done to help bring this animal alive also.

I'm in for both days!!

Dyess, Barksdale, Wright Patt

Simply Mel and I will be there from the start to finish.

ok, so it rained till like 6:30 am which was when the gates opened.. and i mean it poured from like 3 am till till that time.

so needless to say the track conditions for a first timer were less than desireable.

I know what you mean here. Last weekend was my first weekend on a track and it was at Putnam also. My first session, I chose to come off the track on the 3rd lap. I was sliding the front, the rear all depending on which turn I was on.

However I had hybrid tires on and they won't grab at all in wet conditions like that.

I didn't get back on until the 3rd session, but sliding all over the place from the first played with my head. That track can look dry but end up being slippery.

2nd session

my first time on the track... i was overwhelmed.. sensory overload

Had this to. All my overload was from my suspension and tires. I've never had feedback like that from the street. It was a weird feeling getting all this at once when I would hit the turns.

after the first session i felt like i had just gotten on a bike.

Your not the only one. Hell I used to wear on my sliders when I would hit the NKY roads. I to felt like I had just learned to ride a bike that day and was slower than what I used to be on the street.

my big problem is confidence in the bike and myself i guess. i know i can go faster trough the turns

That was my biggest problem. After starting in the wet and sliding I had something else play with my head also.

In my third session a guy opened up his liter bike on the straight and got tunnel vision. He split two guys in front of me right as we started our turn. HE forgot to turn and had to go straight off. That also played with me.

By my last session I was starting to let loose and open up, then before the first lap was over the rain hit again. That ended my day.

After all that, not having lived up to my OWN expectations, I to even thought about coming home and selling all my bikes.

I know I'm a hell of a lot better than what I did that day. I personally just have some ghost to deal with in my head. I realize that drunk messed up my head more than what I thought and has put a fear there, I didn't have before.

Next track time, which is 10th/11th at Mid O, I'm just gonna be like Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. I'm gonna let go of fear and use the Force. I know I have it, just got to find it again like I used to..

When an individual is in desperate need of money or has financial problems, they will do whatever it takes and will be quick to take more money if offered.

However there are some that will hold true to what they say even in their times of need.

As for the bike.

Now you can search the net and find one that's had the front and rear suspension upgraded...

Where did you grab it from??? This one is from my computer of a scan I did. The original artist was Munitions troop in the AF. My friend has an original canvas of this signed by him.

Just wondering.

SOLD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>This is the Rockwall Stealth body work. This is the stuff that will flex. You can find a vid of it on youtube. It has been fitted and as you can see there were some slips on the initial placement.

$250.00

I did not fit this myself, it's a spare set.

SMX Bionic Vest back on the market. Buyer didn't contact me back.

All other stuff is still here also.

So reading the post.....who all is really going??? I'm in Bellbrook and have asked around and no one wants to go due to the possible rain.

I just picked up some rains for this reason. Plus I was there this past weekend and missed out Sunday due to not having any.

I'm game for going even if there is rain. However, I don't want to go-it alone due to the "What If" factor.

To those that are going, where are you staying? The group I went with just camped out in the rain at some usual camp site. Some got a ran down room somewhere.

I'm game for both days and staying where ever.

I haven't met any of you from here, but if you need a no BS reference, look up KruelHouse or Nijanick.

For those that were there this past weekend. I was in the hot pit with a friend that had the tire changing machine. I have the yellow 03 600RR with Over Two painted on the lowers.

The suit is a 1pc.......any offers on the these items???

Bump for a good guy's liquidation sale!

Thanks dude, we got to do lunch, however it would have to be next week.

cya sunday!

Are you just going, or would you like to take a look at these items??

MORE PICS upon request

SOLD

I will be at Putnam this weekend and can bring all items with me.

I will accept MO, PP methods, Cash, Certified Check and the Payment Plan (This will require a deposit and agreement made by pm, all money is non-refundable)

Ok.....just picked up tail....but still need the blinkers and headlight.

Let me know what you got

Title says it all. Doesn't need to be perfect.

It's going on a track bike so I can do some street riding with it.

Thanks.

PM sent on fender eliminator

That is one hell of a deal.

During the summer that bike will sell for more than what is being asked.

Wheels need to fit an 03. Looking for some ready to bolt on minus (tires and sprocket--I have that covered) or I'll take the sprocket if you leave it on .

For a track bike so not worried about looks as long as there not damaged (bent, missing metal, etc).

Thanks

I'm thinking there aren't any good Dayton roads to ride.........I'm not one for just riding though......9 times out of 10 I'm suiting up to hit the curves.

Most of what I used to ride around here is traveled by construction vehicles and now has gravel all over them or they are under construction themselves.

For me, I usually like to ride about 2 or more hours doing nothing but curve chasing.

If anyone else is up for doing the KY or other long rides on these types of roads hit me up.

For those that just want to ride and grab a bite to eat and drink.......yeah that's not me.....sorry

Great joining the site......not to far away either

Look to the top right of his post, just below his join date.

Funny......I know that......was looking for specifics......which area of Huber Heights......
