What I am getting...

Shit, get what you want man...Otherwise you will never be happy and keep having buyer's remorse. Eventually you will try to sell it and eat up the loss, then go back to what you originally want in the first place.

I haven't ridden a bike for like 15 yrs...I jumped on a Harley that is 900lbs dry weight...Yeah sure I dropped the bike. But I pick that shit up quickly and hope no one saw.....But that was not because of my lack of skillz..It was because I installed some bling bling shit on it and move the handle bar to the point where I wasn't use to it.

No such thing as buyer's remorse on a starter bike. They are *always* in demand. I sold mine for $100 over what I paid for it after riding it for 8 months. I also changed my mind about what I wanted in a bike after riding my starter bike and a bunch of other bikes belonging to friends.

Also, if you haven't ridden in 15 years, then you have no freakin clue about how fast 600cc sportbikes are today, much less a liter V-twin like the RC-51.

Swing your leg over one, put it throught its paces and I guarantee that you'll be singing a different tune. Your 15 yr old harley probably went about as fast as my '89 500cc GS-500

I can't see why anyone would finance $15K for a bike, especially their 1st one. Good luck man, be safe.

Only two reasons: Either he is super wealthy.... or he doesn't know anything about bikes (including their prices).
