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. | |||

In the beginning the RC211V was a unique machine, featuring a V-5 engine. Honda claims more than 240 [[Horsepower|hp]] (179 kW), 145 [[kilogram|kg]], and 330 km/h top speed. After dominating the races with rider [[Valentino Rossi]] in the debut year 2002, the RC211V/Valentino Rossi combination was a winner too in 2003. [[Nicky Hayden]] on the Repsol Honda RC211V is the current 2006 points leader in the MotoGP series. | In the beginning the RC211V was a unique machine, featuring a V-5 engine.
