A close up look at Michael Rutter's NW200 and TT bike, the Motogp bike for the Roads, Honda's RCV213. Bathams team member Jonny Mcavoy talks us through the history and race prep of the very special Honda obsessionengineering.co.uk/
Fair play to him for being so honest. Nice to hear the figures involved, and the fact that he was willing to fire it up was cool. Good man. Thanks for the video.
I met rutter as a kid signed my t shirt guy is an absolute legend class act and took loads of time out to talk to me and my dad. Him and Shakey Byrne gentlemen
This was my moment of the nw200. Hearing it heading out of the roundabout towards mathers was awesome. Thankyou for showing this and thankyou Micheal Rutter and team for running such a beautiful machine.
Best place to listen to this is the 35th milestone, between the Creg and Brandish. You can hear it screaming down from Kate's to the Creg and then every gear change from 1st to 6th. Awesome sound indeed 😍😍😍
Thanks Dave, great video and very insightful 👍 Hoping you and your team have a wonderful (and safe) TT - I’ll be looking for you on the timing sheets 🙂
Just want to say Dave you do a brilliant job with these video's for us, this year more so than ever you seem to have regular new videos yet you must be very busy with your racing, Franco's racing everything that goes on behind the scenes to do with that and of course running your own business. Best of luck at the TT and I will try and bring you some cake this year.😂
My eyes lite up as soon as I saw the 213 ❤😮what a bike Wow and what an incredible story I didn’t know that they never reach 213 production bikes and they crushed the rest of the kits 😢what a shame really interesting story 😊
Difference in valve train is more significant than you would think. I'm guessing the motogp bike revs considerably higher than the road going bike. They are quite similar but quite different in a lot of ways.
ok that was fantastic!!! I currently have a 2004 Honda RC51 (SP2) Nicky Hayden Edition and a RC213 is the only bike I would ever sell if for. There may be a sight problem getting permission from my wife since I'd need to mortgage our home.... and seem reminds my she knows where I sleep ;-P
Is that big fella test for FastBikes magazine,, I'd heard and seen the bike at the Irish classic bike festival,,😊 awesome watching and good luck Michael Rutter 👍👍👍
Either I wasn't paying attention, or don't remember hearing Jonny mentioning any horsepower #s- I'm thinking somewhere in the high 230's/240's maybe ??
