The long-standing truism that racing improves the breed serves as the perfect watchword for Honda's RC51(TM). How so? In the year 2000, Honda unveiled the RC51 as a purpose-built racing platform designed to battle in Superbike competition the world over.
And what a magnificent racing platform the RC51 turned out to be. Honda's remarkable V-twin took the 2000 race season by storm. In the able hands of Texan Colin Edwards, the RC51 captured the World Superbike Championship in its first season, while on the homefront 19-year-old Nicky Hayden finished the 2000 season a paltry six points short of the AMA Superbike Championship. These race track successes carried on into the 2001 season, where the RC51 continued its winning ways. The highlight of the year belonged to Nicky Hayden, who closed out the AMA Superbike season by winning four consecutive races in devastating fashion.
