Bahnstoermer1647545488 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Test rode a 2002 RC51 at Hinds, I know it is a local owner b/c the guy told me it was a friend's of one of the shop employees. Does anyone know this bike's history? I think it had Jardine cans, I could be wrong. It's been there quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I bet its Dave Andrians bike. If it is, you don't want that bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street pilot Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Did it have any aftermarket plastics pieces? (undertail, front cowl...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahnstoermer1647545488 Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I got a bad feeling about the bike, for a few reasons. One, it had crappy cans and cheap aftermarket mirrors. Two, it was $7600 for a 2002 with 6k miles. Nice RC's are more than that. Three, they've had it forever and said it was a "friend's friends" thing. Four, I felt the weirdness in the employees looking at me as I was getting ready to ride it. Five, I just felt in my gut something wasn't right. I didn't look at the fairings closely, but the rear hatch wasn't hooked up properly, which could be the tail problem. The battery lid wasn't on, there were some extra plastics pieces in the trunk. What happened to this Dave Adrian's bike? Could be the one...
