@@sburns2421 Yes, God only knows that the NR750 (with its oval pistons, an overall aesthetic that still makes me go all tingly & what-not, yada yada, etc) is & was a phenomenal motorcycle & anyone with any knowledge of motorcycles that's worth knowing should already be aware of this...& what's more, I sure wish nowadays that my parents had instead spent my private school tuition fees upon one of these for me, during my late teens & when it was released, than they, in their infinite & well-meaning wisdom, elected to!

We were given the bike for a ride in Sepang Circuit (few laps), what a treat and it was the best bike ridden by far in terms of handling. It was so light and agile. Power, well it's not enough due to restricted RPM (in the track) but we agree that sub 150hp should be more than enough on the road. The bike we got couldn't go pass beyond 9 or 10 thousand rpm. But it was still great enough to left a memorable experience. Thanks HRC for that round of test ride.
Quality comment, my friend...awesome & truly interesting & useful information, which can often be a rather rare commodity within these comments!! Thank you very much for the feedback...cheers & best wishes from 'Down Under'...Matt.
Slightly de-tuned....they never release hp numbers but the proper GP bike with pneumatic valves it's based on is probably somewhere between 250-300hp. If you bought one of these in the U.S. you got limited to 100hp and no race kit option. Meanwhile Ducati had already sold the Desmosedici making twice the power for half the price.
Now that it has few years on it how would you compare it to the last "special" bikes of today? With all the gear necessary to have it full power would it beat todays V4s Sp2 M1000RRs and similar also on their full power and tech?
Nice. Does anyone know if honda uk are releasing the cb400 super four like the yellow one I keep seeing pictures of? I love it! 4 little cylinders yellow, perfect sunny Sunday bike.
Honda should bring back the V4, a RC30/RC45 successor (VFR750R) like Ducati brought back the Elephant Desert X. It doesn’t need to be the fastest, just a middleweight V4 that can do street and track, especially when the 600 class is gone.
You say, that with the way things are going today, will we ever see the like of this again? Well, actually the answer to that is in our own hands. Bike and car manufacturers want/need to sell their products and as appears to be happening in the car world, battery car sales are drying up, then the stupid politicians will have to change and allow customers to buy what THEY want. The answer is quite simple, buy ICE vehicles and boycott all battery only vehicles. Simple.
a diluted race bike for the collectors to own... still, what a move from Honda, producing such bike... yamaha should've made a M1 homologated bike in their winning years with VR46
The solution was always there. Everything is so perfect, the HRC just needs to take this, add 150 hp, and Marquez’s problems are gone. Seriously, this is nice, expansive, and pointless. The last good Honda specials were the RC45 and the VTR SP2. Because they could race in proper categories and win. This one is just like the NR750 in the 90’s, which was (much) slower than a Fireblade. This one is so expansive that it will never get raced next to a Panigale or a M1000RR: Honda can breathe a bit.
Stunning! What a treat, very jealous!....In Wales no less, land of the free...what was it like at 20mph?😂
I think this is the sexiest Honda ever built. It looks both old and modern at the same time, and that livery oh my word I love it.
NR750 is amazing and three decades old.

As a big fan of RC213V-S, I am eternally grateful to Visordown for this video ❤
Thanks for riding the machines that most of us will never get to ride. Great insight. Good luck 🏁

Amazing motorcycle..!!
Very nicely done Toad👍👍
for years I've been dreaming of this bike.
What are those mirrors?
Now that it has few years on it how would you compare it to the last "special" bikes of today? With all the gear necessary to have it full power would it beat todays V4s Sp2 M1000RRs and similar also on their full power and tech?
We have road bikes with over 200bhp, and you think we have a nanny state?
I think this bike does not have same firing order as today GP bike. This is RC30/45 firing order while GP is big bang, at least sounds like that.
I have to ask (because I actually don't know), what is that red, white, and gold Honda sportbike in the background?
It's an interesting color scheme.
Honda CBR 1000RR European version
Nice.
Does anyone know if honda uk are releasing the cb400 super four like the yellow one I keep seeing pictures of?

Its more gorgeous than a Ducati 😍

Lucky guy. If I owned a £200k bike I definitely wouldn't let anyone else ride it. The excess must be crazy.
It better be special for 185,000 dollars lol
Well and actually MotoGP bike is $2.5-$3 Millon.
@@JDeezle21 what’s your point?
@@____________________ok you don’t say lol
Beautiful bike.
To me it's more beautiful than any italian sport bike
I just noticed that white livery with the red spot looks like Japan's flag
I think KTM will do one next.
Any good for the M25?
RC213V-S v Superleggera V4?
Didn't they try to run this at the last TT IOM and it just completely fell apart?
I always thought these were hand made not mass produced in fact less than 200 were completed
Do you fall every time you ride it?
The Japanese are masters. ❤️
That bike does about 217cv, but its limited to 150hp.
Bring back a V4 superbike, Honda !
Geezus , you could buy a few R1M's for that , or a few H2'S with all the fruit
Its 102nm of torque not 102ft/lb's 😂
Is it 2023 version or 8 years old model
8 yrs old.
A shame they never made a v4 fire blade…
CBR9/CBR1k=FireBlade
VFR/VF 500-1200cc=V4
RC namesakes = Racebike/Homologation bikes.
If given the opportunity, I would spend the $$$ for this unicorn……
This isnt a replica it is the bike lol
yo i was just wondering if you knew about how heavy the crankshaft of this honda rc213v-s is. would really help
If it wants to go faster. It must not be a replica of Honda’s Moto gp bike.
Oh come on, why didn't you make some comparison to Ducati Superleggera?
only for honda fanboys.
same as the desmosedici RR, only for a niche.
👍🍀🥂
Bullshit, 102 foot lbs ! how could anyone that knows anything about bikes say that!
