Honda RC211V 2002 - 2003
The Honda RC211V was developed in 2001 by HRC
(Honda Racing Corporation) to replace the Honda NSR500 because regulations for
the World Championship motorcycle road racing 500 cc (30.5 cu in) class were
changed drastically for the 2002 season. The regulations changed, two-stroke
engines were as before limited to 500 cc (30.5 cu in) and 4 cylinders, but
four-stroke engines were allowed to grow up to 990 cc (60 cu in) and from three
to six cylinders. The name of the class was modified to MotoGP, and is limited
to race prototypes only.
The model name designates the following:[1]
- RC = Honda's traditional racing prefix for 4-stroke bikes
- 211 = first works bike of the 21st century
- V = V engine
