The new Honda RC213V-S has been officially announced. It's more-or-less a road-going Moto GP machine.

If you want one, then orders open on July 13th, but…

For the RC213V-S, a machine for public roads, the regions with sales planned are Europe, the U.S., Australia and Japan. The manufacturer's recommended prices (tax-inclusive) are set at €188,000 in Europe (Germany *1), ¥21,900,000 in Japan, A$244,000 in Australia, and US$184,000 in the U.S.

:o

250k for a bike?!?!?!?!

[injunjack]

who cares?? it's a crotch rocket.

[Graeme]

The Honda strikes me as pointless. I doubt it'll be significantly better than a top-end Ducati or Beemer.

But I'm glad that it exists.

[Jordonf9]

That Honda, that costs THAT much, will still be blown out of the water by the H2. That  is a BEAST

@Giles look away now…

It's the new Auto Fabrica Type 6, via Bike EXIF.

Ah, just found their Instagram feed. The Type 9 is a Guzzi…

[Finkster]

Wow    … amazing

[injunjack]

go on gyus, stop drooling ang go and BUILD something for yourselves….

[Finkster]

Without a garage .. and each mechanical talent …. it's difficult to get a 'bike-builder'   

[injunjack]

Everyone has to start somewhere. That's how bikebuilders are born.  They are not engineers, nor born with a wrench in their hand.

[Giles]

I could build a house if I wanted too, I could probably build a car too and I know I can do a bike, because I did a BSA 250 Star in the late 70's.  But I don't have the time.

Why don't you build your own jeans, I'm sure you could…...?  We all choose what to do with our time and money, just because some of us choose to do different things to you, does not make it wrong....

[injunjack]

G, I didn't say it was or is wrong, just said stop drooling and start doing. That's how things start happening.  Anything actually

[Giles]

I don't have time to do, that's why currently I spec and buy…..

[injunjack]

even speccing is a talent to get tasty stuff out of builders hands.

[Graeme]

The Batbike…

[Sam]

Is that a Zero Engineering Bike?! That's the dream! How good would one of those look in the show room? @Giles Expenses?

@Giles:

One of my French customers has just sent me the photos below of his almost completed bike.  What a work of art:

[Giles]

Looks like we're going to be lumbered with your 48 through the Winter, that's enough Harley's for a while…...Though Paula did say I could buy as many bikes as I liked as long as I don't ride them.....

[Sam]

She's a good woman that Paula! And she didn't say anything about me not riding them
