TLR NEEDS TO SHED SOME LBS.

[Super Dave]

I've raced the RC51.  Heavy.  Stock suspension is no where near safe in race conditions.  It only serves to give the bike a look that Honda wanted.  Just about tossed me off coming out of NASCAR two at Daytona.  

There are bikes that you can get that are much closer to being a reasonable unit out of the box that make more power and are lighter.  But you can race the TLR and RC in Supertwins.  But, now you can get used Ducati's pretty cheap.  They are pretty nice and crash well.  The Aprilia just handles awesome.  That would be my choice if I were making the buy.
