Dude I just realized that I still have that leather coat. It was an anniversary gift from my first wife. So that has to be 1993 ish. Now I'm confused. I get the dates mixed up sometimes.

Yeah it is... the RC51 is a monster. A friend of mine has an 05 (I think) - Hayden Signature Edition. What an awesome ride... I trade with him regularly 
It is great for twisties and highway, but for putting around in town and in traffic - it is murder. 1 liter V-twin... does NOT run smoothly under 3k... lots of chugging and klunking back and forth of the operator in the seat. After a while the throttle hand is not so comfortable either, without being in a full race tuck, which of course looks silly when putting around the city.
