The '''Honda RC211V''' was developed in 2001 by HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) because regulations for the World Championship [[motorcycle]] road racing 500 [[~~Cubic centimetre|~~cc]] class were changed drastically for the 2002 season. The regulations changed, 2-stroke engines were -as before- limited to 500 cc and 4 [[cylinder]]s, but 4 stroke engines were allowed to grow up to 990 cc and an unlimited number of cylinders. The name of the class was modified to ''[[MotoGP]]'', and is limited to race prototypes only.
