2004 Honda RC51. Ive been wanting one for years now, even before I got my other bike. Gotta love the sound of a big v-twin revving to 10k rpm.

 

Very cool... yea it's hard to beat the throaty sound of a vtwin, I must admit.

 

Nice! Perfect time of year, too. It's tough to beat a motorcycle ride on a cool fall day!



Are those radiators on the sides? Does the air flow in the front, and out the sides of the fairing? Or into the sides and out the back? I'm curious, you don't see too many different rad placements on bikes.

 

Yes, those are the radiators on the side. Honda did that on this and the vfr because the bike isn't really wide enough for a traditional radiator. The fans pull air in from the sides at low speeds, and turn off to let air flow out the sides when you're moving.



This weather is awesome, I've been riding a lot lately. Ive put 400 miles on the rc51 since I got it last tuesday.
