Poor husband.
Husband: " Babe, you wanna fool around tonight?"
Barb: " Not tonight, I have a head-ache...I'm gonna go for a ride"
Husband: " I knew I should never have let her get the bike!"

Could have possibly been someone testing the bike. A lot of magazines (Cycle World, Sport Rider, etc.) will rent a track and let their journalists have a go on the new bikes so they have something to write about.
Either way, the RC51 is definatly NOT a cursed bike on the track. You should look to the rider for that.
I heard once that the Telefonica was the most cursed bike. Cakes, do you remember who said that?

I just think it's crazy that ANY trackday organization wouldn't enforce that riders remove and tape equipment
Glad that the rider was okay and able to continue riding the rest of the day.

I swear all last year and this year the most bike I have seen go down at the track is the RC51, and to think I almost bought one instead of my Gixxer.

That's not a low side. He's just backin' it in. Or maybe he though he was dirt tracking.
I have an RC51 and the bike is very competent but it comes back to the rider. I started doing my track days on the RC several years ago and I love it. Even though these days, it does feel down on power (at 130 hp lol) but it is still a blast to ride. Throttle control is importatnt with any bike. My guess though by looking at the picture, is he shifted to 1st gear instead of staying in second. The spacing is so tall between gears that it is very easy to do with the stock gearing setup. He downshifted and went to turnin at the same time and it elicited a slide like you see. It almost looks intentional though is the funny part.
I also have a lady friend that owns an RC and she LOVES it and has admitted several times that she really gets off on the power and rumble of the bike. Literally. A f'ing Men.
