2016 HONDA RC213V-S

KEY FACTS

• An as-new example of the exceptional and very rare “MotoGP bike for the road”, which has never been ridden and remains packed in its original flight case.
• It is powered by a 999cc four-stroke V4, which is driven through a six-speed transmission and produces up to 215hp with the included Race Kit components installed.
• The vendor understands that just 213 were planned to be built, but due to an earthquake near the factory this was apparently cut down to just 125 examples – and this bike is marked as number 029 of that limited run.
• A true collector-quality example; having been registered and kept on a trickle charger, but never ‘unboxed’.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Created with a focus on light weight and agility, RC213V-S is a road-legal MotoGP bike, built around a hand-fabricated aluminium frame with carbon-fibre body panels and titanium fasteners, resulting in a dry weight of just 170kg.
• Furthermore, it is equipped with some of the finest components available, including Ohlins TTX front forks, massive Brembo brakes and forged magnesium Marchesini Racing wheels.
• Further enhancing this example’s already impressive performance is the full HRC Race Kit, which comprises a recalibrated ECU, a titanium exhaust system, a front ram duct, a race-pattern quickshifter, a data logger and a remote control cable for the front brake lever. In total, this reduces the bike’s total weight by 10kg, and increases its power output from 157 to 215hp.
• This thrilling superbike will be supplied with all of its original documents and accessories.

CONDITION

• Still packed in its original shipping crate, the bike is in pristine, as-new condition, with absolutely no chips or scratches to the bodywork, frame or other components.
• Similarly, the tri-colour red, white and blue finish is untouched.
• As it has never been ridden, this RC213V-S remains as it left the factory, and has not been subject to any servicing.

SUMMARY
