Can't believe this doesn't have half million views. Up till recently, Honda has won more than any other brand. A video on the RC213V-S would be really good; wish I could own one of those.
Thanks! We’re trying to get there. We’ve got some good videos coming soon so stick with us! I’ll do some research on the RC213V-S and see what I can come up with.
Let it be known it was still Rossi that brought it home as he promised Honda, but then refused to give him The bike as a gift as promised. That was wrong wrong wrong!
The rc211v was conceived and entered motogp before ducati's desmocedici. Not the other way around. These videos are funny. I'll even go as far as saying that the rc211v first made its debut in 2001 at the suzuka 8hr in the hands of mighty mick doohan if I'm not mistaken. Either way, mick was involved as an R&D rider in its development.
Honda "struggling" in 2002? Sir, may I point out Honda was the MotoGP world champion for 7 of the preceding 8 years. Their FIREBLADE designed by Tadao Baba has been their moneymaker for the last THIRTY YEARS (1992-PRESENT). Ducati's DESMO valve system had been around since the SEVENTIES, they had won numerous world Superbike titles w/ the system, it was nothing new! You missed the entire point of the RC211V engine - the fifth piston allowed them cancel out the imbalance from squeezing the V, thus making the engine and ergo the bike more compact!
EXACTLY THEN ADDED THE LOWER CENTER MASS WITH A FULL TANK OF FUEL MAKING THE HONDA THE MOST NIMBLE FROM THE START AND OUT OF THE PIT. IT TOOK ALOT OF WORK TO THROW THE OTHERS AROUND WITH 40 LBS OF FUEL 12 INCHES HIGHER.
@@JUSTINMIRANDA-tg7tj Exactly, light makes right. The chassis w/ the gas tank lowered, etc was nothing new, they had run that as a prototype (I have never seen pics of that bike) in the 80s. The V5 was to exploit the weight rule: 145kg for 4s and 5s. They got more power w/ the 5th cylinder, a steadier firing pulse order, and they managed to squeeze it into a smaller package. People forget this is a company that had the most dominant year ever in F1, they can do anything - excellent engineers. A lot of that motorcycle GP stuff (like Big Bang firing order) came from F1, and remember it was Honda that ran it first. Probably just a case of the HRC motorcycle guys calling the F1 guys or vice versa. Ground effects and fan cars that people associate w/ F1 were really first in American CAN-AM racing, the engineers went to CAN-AM races and by osmosis it turned up on F1 years later.
Man this brings all new light on their corporate decisions based on motocross! Those 2002 to 2007 CR250 2 stroke motors were pretty revolutionary at the time, and it’s a shame the plug was pulled on them. I’ve hated Honda ever since for not producing 2 strokes. Anyway, by 05 until the end in 07, the engineers were really starting to nail everything down, even though their budget was non existent by that point. I own an 06 and it is my favorite bike of all time. It’s a shame Mr. Honda hated 2 strokes, because if they were still making them then we wouldn’t have to deal with this ridiculous conglomerate of European bikes. First time anything Japanese has ever misread anything…they are incredibly smart. Yamaha is the only true player these days, but the entire western world wants Honda 2 stroke off road bikes again! Wtf Honda! These motogp bike engines are incredible though… 😂❤
then switched to Yamaha because Furusawa offered Crossplane, a machine with control and tire economy that was beyond reason at that time. other racers had no problem, then when TCS started to be able to imitate the ability of crossplane as if the world was destroyed for rosi .... as if it was very bad, the framing was as if other racers had no skills, it was strange .... TCS initially seemed to be just a virtual program that imitated the ability of the crossplane engine ... ymha enjoyed it without opponents for 8 years, but when it started to be competed with rosi began to make strange propaganda about TCS ....
rosi moved, the bike is still a monster in the constructor, but dorna killed the bike under the guise of lowering the cc, they said it was dangerous, poor hayden who had just found his rhythm, then had to start from zero again, his heart must be broken and he lost his direction. he should have started to develop...
Ducati entered moto GP in 2003 and hard a steel tubes front frame that used the engine as a stressed component of the whole frame. Honda developed the RC 211V well before Ducati had something to do with MotoGP. Honda’s primary rival was Yamaha which had a 4stroke design as well, even if it was much more conventional and less competitive. 4 strokes are not more powerful and don’t create better torque! MotoGP 990 were more powerful than the GP500 by only a few HP and they were nearly double the displacement! 4strokes have generally wider and linear power and torque bands so they’re much easier to ride…
To sum this up, Honda copied the Ducati but threw a ton of money into testing and development. They had the fastest bike for a few years, and now the company is more concerned with Management Procedures than winning.
this is a horrible video. your information is not accurate and misleading. the nsr500 was the dominate 500gp bike. the rc45 was replaced by the rc51 in 2000, and won the wsbk championship that year. and again in 2002. Ducati did not develop the desmodromic valve actuation for MotoGP. nor did Ducati come up with using a double bubble windscreen for racing MotoGP. there is so much wrong and misleading info it's ridiculous about the only thing you got right was how dominant the rc21 1v, that's how it's pronounced not rc211v 21st century 1st model, having won about 55% of the races it entered

It whas unbeatable until Valentino Rossi went to Yamahha. But the 2003 stays the most beautiful version. V5 +-250bhp and no electronics..
then switched to Yamaha because Furusawa offered Crossplane, a machine with control and tire economy that was beyond reason at that time. other racers had no problem, then when TCS started to be able to imitate the ability of crossplane as if the world was destroyed for rosi .... as if it was very bad, the framing was as if other racers had no skills, it was strange .... TCS initially seemed to be just a virtual program that imitated the ability of the crossplane engine ... ymha enjoyed it without opponents for 8 years, but when it started to be competed with rosi began to make strange propaganda about TCS ....
Why talking about the RC211V and showing a RC213V? 😅
rosi moved, the bike is still a monster in the constructor, but dorna killed the bike under the guise of lowering the cc, they said it was dangerous, poor hayden who had just found his rhythm, then had to start from zero again, his heart must be broken and he lost his direction. he should have started to develop...

Ducati weren’t in MotoGP at this point and never copyied it ? It was a v5 🤣
Ducati actually copied the RC 45 .
Completely incorrect
@@KingArthurreturnsDucati absolutely was in motogp
@@brdllc they entered in2003 with a bike that wasn’t good. Loris Capirossi scored the first win . Their first true succes was in 2007.
