We got two weeks ago just short of our faith, and do it now just one more time, because the Honda RC213V-S is incredibly brutal.

To the link with cars is not to lose it: imagine that there is a street version of the Mercedes W06 Hybrid Formula 1 car, but on two wheels. That is exactly what Honda has done, because the RC213V-S is nothing more or less than a straatlegale version of the RC213V. With that engine, it was Marc Marquez in 2013 and 2014 world champion, so we are not talking about just a Honda.

It might surprise you, but Honda has just some small things need to adapt to the RC213V by the inspection. So is the gearbox replaced and you should with a little less power. The liquid-cooled four-cylinder delivers yet ‘but’ 157 hp, while the racer is good for 235 hp. You can power with a special sportkit boost to 212 hp, but that unfortunately means that you do not have the public road, and you can only play on closed stretches of asphalt.

Furthermore, Honda of course what parts have to add that can’t be missing on a straatmotor, such as lights, direction indicators, number plate, mirrors, a speedometer and a little less sticky tires. The Honda RC213V-S is on sale from 13 July and will 188.000 euro costs, so you’ll be there for about need to have to be like Marquez by the corners to tear.
