Update 7.18.2013: This bike had sold but the owner has informed us the sale fell through. Links updated. -dc
Located in South Carolina is this barely used Nicky Hayden edition RC51 with just 1877 miles. While this special edition only gets cosmetic upgrades (polished frame and swingarm, white number plates, sticker kit, and affixed with Nicky’s signature) it is arguably much better looking than the standard issue. If you missed one when they were new this is your second chance. Current bid is $3000 reserve not met (obviously) and the buy-it-now shows nearly $9k.

2004 Honda RC51 Nicky Hayden for sale on eBay
from the seller:
This is a very low mileage, mint condition 2004 model from my collection. Very clean and adult ridden all it’s life. The Jardine exhausts on it, sounds awesome!Stock OEM exhausts included. Comes with a brand new, unopened, uninstalled “sticker kit”. With rear seat and owner’s manual still in plastic.
Buy it now for 9 grand? Hahaaaaa…..people have done lost their minds if that sells for more than $7,500!
Hey , it’s all about what the market will bear . If he gets decent loot for it , good on him . After all we live in a Capitalist society here , not Communist ! And that’s my 2 cents .
I recall back in 07 the dealer had one of these still brand new from 04 that he couldn’t sell. For $8,500!
RC30, as they say, a sucker is born every day, so he may get more than $7,500. These sellers evidently think that since it has the “RC” moniker that it will command they same type of demand as a 30 or 45. Just not gonna happen IMO.
I don’t understand the height prices for a lot of 250 and 400 cc bikes on here. A least this bike has power and is rare. Unlike the cookie cutter gsxr’s cbr’s and r6/r1’s out there….
As all 04 RC51 bikes are Hayden models, they are not especially rare. Last week at Mid-Ohio I saw more Hayden RC51s than regular RC51 bikes. Last winter I bought an 850 mile 2000 model RC51 for $3500. Nearly mint condition too. I know this type of deal is out of the ordinary, but IMO the 04 model shown here is not worth the premium price.
Well, it’s a sportbike and it’s for sale… 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.
Its got the guys signature on it, they dont all come with that. If anything happened to hayden this bikes value would sky rocket
