The $280,000 Honda

Honda's long-rumoured MotoGP replica lives. Our friend and colleague Kyoichi Nakamura chanced upon the uber-exotic RC213V-S V4's public bow on Sunday 31st May, ridden by works tester Hiroshi Aoyama at an otherwise low-key historic hill climb north of Tokyo. HRC are still not saying when production will commence, nor how many will be made, but each bike will be hand-built by the same team who is responsible for the GP bikes. Start saving!
