Honda finally made its big splash presentation of its long-awaited RC213V-S street-legal MotoGP replica machine at a press event prior to the Catalunya round of the MotoGP World Championship. The bike appears to identical to the machine that was shown at the EICMA show in November of last year, with the “HRC Tricolor” paint scheme and bar-end mirrors.

Big news is that the list price of the RC213V-S was announced at the event: for US customers, the price tag will be a princely $184,000. Back in November, American Honda reps weren’t even sure the RCV-S was even going to be brought to these shores, but apparently that decision has been made to go ahead with the importation. Reservations for purchase of the RCV-S will be taken starting on July 12, 2015 at 3:00PM on the official RC213V-S website. According to the Chief Operating Officer of Honda Motor Japan, Tetsuo Suzuki, the bikes will be hand-assembled by HRC technicians at the rate of “one per day,” and that Honda/HRC have “decided to end the production period at the end of next year (2016).” That means that around 500 or so units will likely be built for worldwide distribution.

Lovely Wicked bike. Marquez, go get 'em!

Were you expecting 700hp for a motorbike before?
Who knows, you might be expecting the successor to G700 brabus to fly more than a boeing 747.
