"Honda released photos of the latest-generation RC211V MotoGP race bike in conjunction with the Tokyo Motor Show. Here are several of the studio photographs.

By the way, forget about limiting horsepower to roughly 200 at the rear wheel, latest rumors out of Japan indicate Honda wants roughly 240 at the rear wheel -- with a smooth, flat torque curve. This thing will inhale straightaways like they aren't there. If it can go around corners, lap records will be absolutely obliterated. Ditto for the Yamaha in-line four MotoGP bike."

If I weren't afraid of bodily injury, I'd by one in a second.

 

Rossifumi is going to be a sight to see on that thing

 

If anybody hangs on to it long enough then that will be exciting to see. 240whp...are you joking me?
millertime

 

wow..... that is kickass.

that looks like the exact same bike sold here on special order only, which is an NSR500 replica, they call it the RS500........ you can get one for $50,000.

 

Carbon rotors?

Will
-who would kill himself on that thing

 

I would die pulling out of my driveway on that thing.
Really,really badass though

 

That would be a great bike to have when traveling through the mountains!

 

People with large asses will have exhaust fumes pumping up their love-hole.

 

that thing is bad ***!! but the itr could prolly still take it....j/k

 

Pimp as hell!! v-5 will weight too much to be fast in the corners. But it will be fast in the straights!!
