This 2003 Honda RVT1000R RC51 is powered by a 999cc DOHC V-twin paired with a six-speed transmission and is finished in red and silver with black accents over a black aluminum twin-spar frame. Additional equipment includes an inverted cartridge-style fork, a Pro-link monoshock, a braced aluminum swingarm, black-finished alloy wheels, and triple Nissin disc brakes as well as clip-on handlebars, a black vinyl solo seat, a Power Commander tuner, and dual Yoshimura silencers. The bike was purchased by the seller in 2025 following an approximately seven-year period of storage, and subsequent work included flushing the coolant, changing the oil, replacing the fork seals, and servicing the fuel injectors. This RC51 is now offered with a tool roll, spare parts, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The fully faired bodywork is finished in red and silver metallic with black accents over a matte-black aluminum twin-spar frame. Features include a 3.8-gallon fuel tank, dual mirrors, dual headlights, LED taillights and turn signals, rear-set foot controls, and a side stand along with an aftermarket windscreen and rider seat. Swingarm lift spools were been added in July 2026, and a ceramic coating was also applied to the bike’s frame, bodywork, swingarm, and wheels at that time. The paddock stand is not included in the sale.
Black-finished 17″ cast-alloy wheels are mounted with Metzeler tires. Adjustable Showa suspension consists of a 43mm inverted cartridge fork as well as a piggyback-reservoir monoshock connected to the aluminum swingarm via a Pro-Link linkage. Braking is provided by gold-finished Nissin calipers mounted over dual 320mm rotors up front and a 220mm rotor at the rear. Recent work included replacing the fork seals and changing the brake and clutch fluid.
Clip-on handlebars secured beneath the upper triple clamp front an LCD instrument panel that features a digital speedometer and a sweeping bar-style tachometer with a 10k-rpm redline along with indicator lights for fuel-injection malfunction, fuel level, high beam, neutral gear selection, turn signals, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The digital odometer indicates 2k miles.
The liquid-cooled 999cc DOHC V-twin features Programmed Fuel Injection with two injectors per cylinder as well as dual 62mm throttle bodies, dual side-mounted radiators, digital ignition, a Power Commander tuner, and a dual exhaust system that has been fitted with Yoshimura mufflers. The battery was replaced in 2025, and work in July and August 2026 included changing the oil, servicing the fuel injectors, flushing the coolant, and replacing the thermostat and fuel pump.
Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a hydraulically actuated wet clutch, a six-speed transmission, and a drive chain.
The bike is currently registered as Planned Non-Operational in the State of California.
