The only reason I could even think of for them to offer this pitiful offering is that I thought they must have needed to meet some requirement for a racing regulation in order to classify in some category. Since that obviously wasn’t the case then yes they fell down terribly. No one in their right mind would drop that Read more

Even since rumor this bike was far from appealing. Sure, you can buy a MotoGP bike gets your attention for millisecond, but then you face reality. I know I don’t ride like Marquez and so would never dream of throwing a leg over his bike. That’s almost guaranteed death for me. Plus always assumed pricing would be Read more

Honda will sell every one they build and every race kit that goes along with it. It would be no big deal if anyone could own one. Read more

I raved a couple months ago in the article about the H2R about how awesome it is that Kawasaki, and Ducati (well at least the did) are building ridiculous bikes like this for the public. I said they were pointlessly awesome because of their batshit craziness and that’s why they worked....Honda, I guess, doesn’t fallow Read more

for 184k GT-3 997 USED and hit every track day for the rest of the year. Read more

I’m staggered. Road going versions of race vehicles always work, don’t they?

I still love the Desmosedici RR. May not be as bat$%!t crazy as the Honda... but at half the price and much more beautiful (to me)... that’s the one I want!

I imagine if you can afford $185,000 you will be able to get the 215 hp ECU to go along with it. Casey Stoner recently rode this bike and said it outperforms his full superbike spec CBR 1000RR he’s riding at the Suzuka 8 hrs. I wouldn’t kick it out of my garage. Read more

As a previous owner and weekend racer of an RC51, I was REALLY looking forward to the next step from Honda....... and then this junk came out. WTF are you doing Honda? Why the hell would you completely alienate your biggest supporters with such a stupid and expensive bike THAT SUCKS!? Guess I will just go back to a Read more

If Honda had claimed a million horsepower and just jacked the price up slightly more the people who bought them probably would never have been able to tell the difference. 99% of these bikes will be bought, locked in a garrage and never stared for 20 years. Then they will pop up on ebay when the owner is looking to Read more

Did they sell all 200 of them?
Is it freaking awesome?

Isn’t Marquez running last years chassis right now because he doesn’t like the feel of the new bike?

My ATC 110 didn’t have turn signals. That’s the $180,000 difference. Read more

Here is a related question, Has any companies track performance (two or four wheeled) directly influenced a purchase? Vehicles built for the track are hell sometimes in the real world to live with. Read more

My best guess (or hope) is that Honda’s engineers are working hard behind the curtains to bring out a completely new bike. Yamaha has waited a while to introduce abs, dtc, etc on the R1 until the complete package came out this year. Honda might doe the same, since 2008 the bike really hasn’t been updated at all and I Read more

It’s sad that this bike turned out this way. You’d think the formula would be simple at that price point, and Ducati seemed to be able to do it with the Desmosedici ages ago. It’s hard to believe that they’re reusing switchgear at nearly McLaren prices. Read more
