Comparing the RC45 to the RC51 is like chalk and cheese.

The RC45 is an extension of your mind. The ultimate corner carver. Small, low petite.

The seat height was .5" lower than my TZR250RRSP replica.

The RC45 is amazingly comfortable for the task at hand.. singularly purposeful.

The most stable street chassis I have ever ridden.

The RC51 is about as far from the HRC RC51 as you can get - whereas the RC45 was the HRC chassis. The bikes were assembled from HRC race parts, by the HRC mechanics. The RC30, Rc40 and RC45 were not assembled at Honda on assembly lines, but rather in the HRC facilites by single teams.

True mechanical sculptures. The RC30 even more so than the RC45. The RC30 had hand laid fibreglass fairing components, where as the RC45 had ABS molded components.
