I found three European magazines that have been able to test the 2002 RC51. The consensus is that it is a better all around bike for the track and street. The throttle response and vague feel from the rear were both addressed. I still have one question....why is it every time I read something about the RC51..even something positive....I leave feeling like I am going to face a serious let down in terms of the power it makes. I am waiting for the 2002s to come in. NO dealership around here will let me ride one before purchasing and the only V-twin I ever rode (duc 996) I HATED. I hope I am not making a mistake. One day I think I should stick to what I know (inline liter performance!) and other days I feel like I will never know till I try something new. Awful big investment to wind up disappointed. The waiting is making it worse...this sucks. Someone brag about how fast their RC is quick before I bail and grab the 2002 GSXR1000! Hehe
