Honda RC213V-S Launch | First Ride | Motorcyclenews.com 

This RC213V-S will be a legend in future. Rich man, buy it now!!!!!!!

This bike is GORGEOUS, why am I poor? :(

All the hate... They can't afford it so they throw a tantrum by posting hate comments lol. This bike weren't meant for you, so shut up. This bike already sold out like a month ago, so shut up.

What a Beautiful Bike. But lotta negative comments here, seemingly mostly from Brits. The haters are like kids who "poop" on something simply because they cannot have it. I once read a great article - a Ferrari Enzo review in a British "CAR" magazine that was most illuminating about the difference in attitudes between US and UK: when a UK guy sees a Ferrari, they curse the driver; while in US, people give them thumbs up - because in the US, people still genuinely believe in hard work and that given a bit of luck, they can accomplish a lot - and will be able to afford such things one day themselves. So to my UK colleagues - yes this bike is expensive, but it does worth the price much more than an Ariel, or a reincarnated Brough, or a stupid Ecosse, as every bolt and nut in Honda is fully custom-made and hand-assembled (think - "blueprinted"), hand-adjusted - and yes, it does make it special. Forget about the horse-power, as it is now known that this engine can do more than 230bhp, and those who can afford the bike might bring it up quietly to a proper state of tuning anyways... Yes, you cannot do so with an R1, or 1299, or RSV... As for hating on this bike - only kids or delinquents hate on something because they cannot afford it. Also, only kids or delinquents think that what they own is the absolute best - simply because they own it... Cheers!

What I really want to see is a reproduction of the RC211V ... The sound of the V5 is phenomenal

Japanese motorcycle engineers are like mad scientists

The only manufacture worth looking at, "Honda" by far the best sounding, looking, machine out there, only the best riders will appreciate this bike, fastest riders too, not MCN....... live the dream............ as other bikes give you nightmares.....

I would love to own one of these, especially with the full race kit installed. IF I had that kind of money it would be a "Must have"!

is this a good first bike?

bike is a beauty, would love to get my hands on... or in one lol

Ohhhh that's a killer machine ... Wish to buy one in future 😍😍😍

*Keep working guys*

Man... that sound is awesome!

0:55 Guy got a face full of exhaust lol

Gorgeous... absolutely gorgeous.

Its doesnt make 219 hp and it cost too much!!! Im a spec sheet warrior and Im angrrrryyy!

In typical Honda fashion they bring something that looks like it should be a race car I.e. nsx(old version) everyone in the fan base thinks it's a race car(type r)*new excluded they did it right] or bike repsol 1000 rc45 rc30 vfr 750 but then it falls short of the glory in so many different areas that it begs the question "why even bother?"

i wish i was a rich man

Just to pilot this machine would be a dream.

Albeit they are a rare find, I've seen 2014 Kawasaki Moto GP bikes for sale for $54,000. Honda wanted to make a motorcycle that is more of a status symbol than a performance bike.

At 12 seconds ... fine jewels in an exquisite case

BEAUTIFUL BIKE

I've had plenty of Honda's back when. They were great bikes and well priced. BUT Honda always seemed to dabble with "specials " like the CB 1100 R. It cost a lot more than the Katana 1100 but couldn't keep up with it. You had to buy the megabuck "race kit" to make it go. Then there was the VF 1000 R..deja vous ?

...and when you are in trust, it s really , fantastic

Maybe I'll get me one. Two, come to think of it. One stock, one fitted with the sports kit.

Ive watched so many of your videos . I didnt realise i wasnt subscribed . Huh .. i am now ..

IMO, Honda has good strategy btw, they sell this expensive bike, and the money they get is to improve the GP bike. maybe it's answer the question why Marquez still using 2014 chassis for his bike caused of michelin tire and magnetti mareli ECU in 2016 season. Qatar few days ago Lorenzo lead 1 or 2 seconds from Marc.

If you want a ridiculously expensive bike that feels very unique and racey, get a Suter MMX-500. That's 195hp from a 576cc TWO-STROKE V4, moving just 127kg (280lbs). There's a bike that will genuinely kick an S100RR's teeth in.

Would love to even see one for real.

CORRECTION: it is put together (assembled) by one person and and fair amount of that is systems already pieced together, like engine fork tubes, brake calipers.

Thinking about this but in the other hand I'm looking for the current honda MotoGP motorcycle which is currently at the end of the rate

is it worth the 100k over the 1299 superleggera or the HP4 Race?

Exciting bike and video! Nice work!

I will make that paint job on my 2008 fireblade and get it anyway, 190 hp 170 kg is almost as that specs 215hp 160 kg

So want one. Just not the tickets I'd be sure to be getting everyday.

Does anyone know of a RVF 1000 actual release date?

The MV Agusta F4 RC has like 210-215 hp, destroys the Honda in looks and sound, and costs 1/4th the price. MV F4 RC is king in my books.

For the price of a Corvette, you get the ultimate track bike.

Honda RC213V-S is so expensive because it has been derived from the MotoGP version of the bike names RC213V. The track version and the road legal version only has certain differences, which includes the rear view mirrors, side stand, front headlight and the different seat for riding. The power has been limited electronically, which means that the same engine has been used in the road legal version also. Its ultra light weight design, which is 170 kg only is all due to its light carbon fiber parts and skipping the unnecessary parts for riding. The bike has a very powerful engine capable for producing 250+ BHP in its fully functional form, making it a really expensive ride. It also uses the parts manufactured by top performance brands for its brakes, tires and other components.

With choice I would have either the Ducati Superleggera or the BMW HP4 race over this any day. In fact you could buy them both for the same price as this Honda.. and get change for petrol!

That Killswitch is mass produced lol

Hi I am new rider! This is good first bike?

Thebike is made by 1 person over 2 or 3 dsys? Do you not mean assembled?

on my wish list

I'm speelbound !

assolutamente spettacolare....e unica.....

How is this compared to Ducati's Desmosidici?

Six years later: this is still the ultimate Honda. Ducati may have gotten close with the V4 Superleggera.

Honda rules and that's all you need to know!

I'll have my R1 any day.. Maybe when I become an international drug lord I'll buy one of these

Lol! For $184,000 you could get an 3 H2Rs (which are still better than this for 1/4th of the price) and you could get a brand new mustang.

For that kind of money I want both bikes in one with a switch on the handle bars that let me flick between track and road mode. Diminishing returns at that kind of money I tell ya.

How could you dislike that?

awesome bike. Does anyone know if this bike is giong to wsbk ??

Was the intro editing in reference to the film Le Mans?

Just imagine the price of insurance on this thing!

What tires would you recommend ?

*rides to honda*..... *sees price* ......*rides to Yamaha* *buys R1M*

I have an RC 45 and enjoy the ride ...and especially the sound....But this RC213V is a bit of a mystery to me...mainly where do you ride it ?......when you fit the power up kit you will never pass any of the riduculous noise limits on UK tracks....and I take it you also lose the headlights for the air intake....so no Road riding with the kit fitted either ?.... So leave it road legal and have the power of a Ten Grand GSXR 1000 ?... I appreciate the engineering....but what do you do with it ?

is that the same digital gauge cluster as the new R1 and Panigale?

Gorgeous bike for sure , what part is that spinning at 47s into the vid?

Can someone tell me why they're being sold?

Why is everyone forgetting about Ducati's Desmosedici? How does the Honda compare to decade old Duc?

They had digital instrument cluster back then too.

So how much faster is this as compared to a BMW or Ducati Panigale

Coughs in still waiting for a v5 fireblade

Aren't the controls the same as the ones on a CBR600RR?

200k is unrealistic, a rare and expensive bike like this on the track they are stepping away from great price to performance value bikes a renowned for, might as well get mclaren 650s but if you can afford it by all means have fun

It Seems. You're A Real Trooper! simple purring What's your opinion about that, guys

So the bmw hp4 race would be a much better choice seems like. The hp4 race is about 80k.....this bike i think is almost 200k.....

Makane kui aku alles mikirnkomwptiis cepat semakin cepat...... Gawe susah...

there is not so lot of solutions; it s the afraid that do the difference

why ppl keep moaning about the price? overpriced, regular bike can beat it, blablabla.. imo for motogp replica and limited bike, its a bargain compared to a ridiculus red square painting that sold for 105million..

looks very similar with pangiali and r1

how much hp does the road bike have?

Hp4 eats it up.

nice....street-fighter it!!!

For that money i would want it made of gold and capable of 1000 miles on a single tank of unicorn piss ;)

Honda have always done the same with their race replicas like RC30 & RC45 which were also pitifully underpowered in road going form and need extra parts to get up to standard.

wait is that the dry clutch?

i want to see RC213V-S VS H2(street version)

Honda are smoking some strong stuff if they think people are going to spend $200k on a "road bike". What am I saying, they'll sell every one they can make. Rich people have to spend their money on SOMEthing...

this bike looks gorgeous than cbr 1000rr.

Not a bad bike and Im a fan of Honda but I'll stick with the s1000rr

sports kit on top of a bike already price at 188k euro

did they look at the front of the race bike and think "oh I can just stick a headlight in that air intake, and because its a rc213 street bike nobody will mention how shit that looks"

Hey MCN, Glad to see you finally changed the horrible old intro to this new one, it's look much nicer. However, it's still need more work on shooting, audio recording and editing. There are lot of videos made by individual are looks much more professional then yours.

Same bike will be available standard in 5 years for 10k and under

Want.

is this bike street legal? is this the cbr600 or what? i cant see this on a local store

I would choose Desmosedici RR over this bike

Continue 👏🕊️⚖️🦅. Bike.

I wish Motorcycle manufacturers would go back to giving their bikes actual names.

It's neat and all, but I'll take an r1m and a porsche turbo instead

Ahh.. The gods own ambrosia for the well-heeled, un-paunched and limber.

can anyone explain me whats that spinning thing at 0:46? thanks

Older bikes look 👀 miles better

Isn’t it over 100,000

"MINE"!! "MINE"!! "MINE"!! 😁

Awesome bike and attention to quality and materials, for say 35k, not a penny more... Including the "race" exchaust. Honda, what a joke...
