Reveal: 2016 Honda RC213V-S
Our technical editor provides copies of Honda's new $ 184,000 street legal MotoGP's a lot of detail.
Today, the word spread like wildfire about the new Honda RC213V-S, a copy of the street legal motorcycle, as 2016 models, a cool $ 184,000 sale. www.RC213V-S.com: 3 下午 PST time since July 12, Reserve this limited production of bicycles only on the bike's official website.
The RC213V-S, originally EICMA show in Italy last November, launched in prototype form, is based on Marc Márquez rode a motorcycle last two World Championships RC213V, and Honda said the new street-legal machine "closer Motorcycle bike and constantly offered to the public than the road-going model."
There are a few details: RC213V-S is based on the Kumamoto factory exclusive production workshop, and it is equipped with a compact 90-degree 999cc V-4 with a titanium rod. Quality is highly concentrated, and race-derived features include a fuel tank under the seat and carbon fiber reinforced plastic fairing. Honda said that these components directly from the motorcycle bike: rocker, slipper clutch, magnesium Marchesini wheels (17 inches for the RC213V-S), the Ohlins fork, adjustable pedals and foot control, then plus most of the Brembo brake components. The RC213V-S also has a throttle-by-wire, optional power mode, the engine brake control and traction control system with position detection technology.
Zhou Cedel editor Kevin Cameron, has been in Barcelona, Spain, he attended the opening of the new RC213V-S. Cameron reported:
Here, I on the keyboard, just back to the hotel. The price is 188,000 euros [$ 184,000 in the United States. Power Kit, priced at 12,000 euros in the permitted area, will not be listed in the United States (but if you can afford a bike, just call your crew, have 'em inflatable jet, then you or your designate persistent organic Pollutants transferred to Europe to pick up Kit).
Honda emphasized (perhaps overemphasize) This RC213V-S replication of experience handling motorcycle, but not the power. When I asked specifically what part is real and honest can someone tell me that 80% is the same. For the American model, the engine speed in serious decline. European models speed is 12,000, 14,000 with extended power supply kit. American model only disappointing speed increased to 9400 RPM (no room to place the amount of exhaust noise level of the United States needed this very intensive machine, so turn just cut until it can pass).
Yes, the 2016 Honda RC213V-S has a metal valve spring with all their problems, and yes, even the peak power supply kit and 14,000 rpm, the bike is not in the World Superbike level. But some, fit and finish is very cute, my bar magnet only if it should - front and rear axle brake discs (o carbon disc). The remainder of the fastener is titanium.
What have we here under the seat? This is one of the two control motors exhaust pipe valve, control the engine braking effect is very useful. Exhaust gas from the front of the head appeared at 90 degrees to the cylinder centerline, and head in the radial direction from the updraft angle so that the header cleared must be removed. Love is press-formed, welded aluminum fuel tank, which makes the spectator think mushrooms alien species. Most of the fuel is under the seat, with a positive / upward pressure on vegetation a filler cap. Every available space is filled with fascinating electronic, connectors, junction box. Everything is eye candy, rewards long time staring at. consider!
Street something? Mirrors integrated into the right and left guard bar and the emergence from the handlebar ends. License plate bracket and rear directionals pause ventilated seats (internal heat of the exhaust pipe) down from the fork to get rid of. Headlights are hidden in what looks like the front fairing intake, and former directionals fairing mounted to the sides. All the space is occupied intensive race bike, so fitting in extra exhaust muffler is difficult in any form. In front of the engine under the pipe run, adjacent to deep "dagger" oil to the right of the pool. Q pressure between stainless steel exhaust with pool and rear wheels.
Engine castings? Nice sand casting stuff, shaped like it must contain a method of natural beauty of pressure exerted upon us. Front engine mount, so significant because it is lower than the quality of the front cylinder is designed - in such a necessary part of today in front to provide lateral flexibility Rider "feel". Why is sand casting? Sand casting can be heat-treated high-temperature strength, anyway, there is no high casting mold which amortized cost of production. Weld? Satisfactory consideration, a piano recital without a mistake. A few years ago, a man named Kudo its apparent function is to make common components, such as brake lever looks like by the gods, or at least a Honda engineer. Art does not come only in the base ornate gold frame. This is art, and I was just absolutely top riders in motorcycle sport.
The new Honda RC213V-S hydraulic cylinders are integrated into the crankcase casting, not a separate part, and for those of you who do not know how a 90-degree V-4 can be placed in a compact wheelbase, the gearbox completely downloaded vertical noon Actress cylinder twin.
I might recommend to buy these bikes in pairs? After all, the original, the motorcycle Honda will start practice tomorrow, where the Catalan Grand Prix, always appear in pairs, in the "A" cycling and 'B' bike, each rider. Moreover, it would allow the owner of a bicycle from slicks to rain tires replaced by bike, on the time limit is not greater length Planck attempt Marc Márquez famous leap never touch the ground. We have full experience!
Service, Honda said it would be performed by trained personnel in three designated service center, so there may not be a Haynes repair manual immediately, or forever.
I asked RC213V-S mean that one day soon, a basic design will be a production of sports motorcycles, World Superbike and motorcycle bike-sharing. Mr. Yoshituke Hasegawa (who is responsible for a series of large-scale projects, or LPL), said: "We split an in-line and between the V-4, V-4 but the revolution has begun."
I should know not to ask such questions.
