Message	:How does the RC51 comapre to the CBR929RR/954? :Aren't they pretty close in weight, with the RC51 having more low end torque, while the CBR has more top end power? :Do they ride *that* different? At what level of rider would one be able to notice the difference in the bikes? :I just find it odd that Honda makes to bikes, that to me, appear to be very similar. :Do people just "love twins"? I dig the RC51. I got to sit on one at Infineon. :Wags, have you ridden an RC51? If so, how did it compare to your bike(s)? Well the power curve from the two engines is completely different. VTwin has a lot of low end torque. The inline motors make a lot of power but mostly in high RPM range. You would notice the difference even if you were a beginner. I haven't ridden an RC51 but I have ridden other vtwins. And the difference is kind of like a V8 vs turbocharged V6. My f4i makes 100hp and only 40lbs torque. The vtwin I rode made 80lbs torque with similar weight bike. I have noticed that the people who have owned vtwins really love them. I know the CBR and RC51 look very similar but they are totally different bikes.
