*******s! The lot of them, us 851 (well whats left of mine) guys, have got to stand up to the misinformed unwashed masses.
The father, the father, 888 is just a mutated clone. PB got it right at least. And what about the poor old Pantah the great grand father, bet it never got a mention.
Being and old Tornado boy, and have even seen a Lightning in action, I can see the similarities. The 851/888's have less chance of catching fire on start up!

Hmm,the RC45 was a cool bike right enough.Think of those great WSB rides by Aaron Slight,Colin Edwards,Foggy and Kockstinki.Then there are all the TT wins by Joey and 'mad' Phil McCallen,......
Yep,awesome bike.
Ya cant say that for many 'Ondas!

Ducati Alloy ones I think.


The RC45 is indeed a weapon. Does anyone remember the TT and the back wheel. Or was that an RC30?
