It seems S2000 and motorcycle ownership are common interests. Am I right? BTW S2000 and RC 51 gauge packages are very similar (although the engines sure aren't).

I got my first dirtbike when I was 6
raced pro when I turned 16
on the street I had a

Ninja 900
Katana 750
Suzuki GSXR 750
and just sold my R6

I love bikes and always will but the streets are getting just too dangerous for me. ( or maybe I'm getting too old )
but an RC 51 in the garage would be nice

1991 Honda CBR600F2 (Totalled)
1993 Honda CBR900RR (Currently Own)

I don't ride anymore since I get my "fix" with the S2000. The Houston traffic is literally murderous and not cycle friendly.

I've had my learning experience with the F2 accident. I purchased the 900RR with the insurance money and I just don't enjoy riding as much as I did back then.

I love motorcycling.
Started out on dirt.
Never raced street. I have owned quite a few.
Now I've settled on my Goldwing. I like to cruise. I hook up my MiniDiskman, set the cruise control,kick back and just enjoy the road. There's nothing like it. I'm hooping Roxanne comes close.

I can't stay off the bike but these weary bones mean I need something that is more situp on than lean down and stick your knees in your ears. The naked Bandit is an excellent compromise between racer clones and barn door tourers.

My Suzuki Bandit 1200 handles better than I can push it, has heaps of toroque (totally unlike the S2K), is a great wheelie bike and totally reliable.

I have an RC51 and a CBR600F3 Smokin Joes Edition currently. The 1800 goldwing is on the way. I also have a fleet of vintage Honda Elsinores for vintage motocross.

I might have failed to mention I am a Honda motorcycle dealer here in Blue Springs MO.

Though I love my RC51, I may be giving it up for the new 600F4i. . . The new Silver/Black paint combo will match my S2000 exactly
