  1. Having seen Colin and Aaron ride SP's at Assen at the start of the millennium, I agree with Skids that Castrols are luvverly and a few steps up!!..

  2. SP-2s were a slight improvement over the SP-1. The changes to the fuel injection along with the swingarm made the handling and fueling a bit better. All of them in bone stock condition are a bit jumpy to ride at slow speeds. They are also geared too high for most practical riding. Most owners opt for a fuel manager and change the gear ratio. Usually, one up in back and one down if front does very nicely to make it easier around town. The 2006 models are the most "rare" if that matters. By 06 Honda was using up the frames and parts they had on hand and there may have been as few a 400 examples. I've never seen any vin numbers higher than that. The '05 is also all black. From 2002 on they are all identical from year to year except paint schemes. That being said, for some reason the 04 Nicky versions are all much faster than the others... 😉

  3. This is all @douglasthecook 's fault!! He gave me a "Nicky mod" sprocket cover years ago for redslut. Now owning an RC51/SP2, I had no choice but....

  4. So just curious... assuming I still would want to grab one of these... is there any reason to prioritize a SP2 vs a SP1?

  5. It'll just bolt right on aways trips me up, even with the smallest tasks. Of course, these little issues pose no problem to you. I'd love to hear your what you have to say about the SP1 a couple years down the road. And I bet I'm not alone.

  6. Also, through the winter, I added an SP2 RH radiator with fan (SP1 had only 1 fan), so I have double the cooling capacity when the fans kick in. However, I also had to get the SP2 oil cooler, lines, and center V-cowl, as it is relocated to allow fitment of the fan on the different rad. The LH OEM fan had been previously replaced by a SPAL pusher fan, so I now have one pusher fan and one puller fan. Should work OK in traffic and at speed also. And also put on a full set of Core Moto brake lines, and converted to coil-on-plug ignition using CBR600RR coils and modified CBR OEM coil wiring harness.
