Would you rather?

1 Rc45 for regular street riding or a variety of bikes such as Big Red, NSR, and a tribute RC36?
Can’t sell the duc. For me having too many projects is a thing and Cal makes it expensive to have a fleet.

Just reviewing my sitch.

hope all is good.

 

RC45 is killer BUT … spare parts are an issue… not to mention plastics if you happen to drop it. I sold my RC30 after a $800 fuel petcock issue.
I just love my RC36 ( poor man’s RC30 ). I would go with bikes that have minimal maintenance and maximum ride time.

Variety

Bikes like the RC45 and RC30 are cool as fuck, but are not really practical street bikes for living with day to day.

I would much rather have an RC36 that looks like one of the other ones.

Don't get me wrong with money, space, time, money, space and more money, I would love to have both worlds.

But I don't. I would much rather have a smattering of cool bikes that can actually be enjoyed and are enjoyable in more situations.

 

I think Big Red, RC36 (whatever form it takes), Duc, cool-as-fuck NSR, and a Dual Sport/Dirt Bike is a pretty nice mix. And have the ability to ride spouse/offspring bikes.

Big Red and RC36 Venn Diagrams do overlap, but if the RC36 goes the direction you want, not really. To make the RC45 fairings work at all and still look cool, the bars will have to be below the triple clamps. And then rear sets are needed to rotate your body. All of a sudden they are different bikes.
