I guess that's the RC213V that MCN videoed being uncrated earlier this year (and the one that revealed the bike's PCN for me to spy!)  Should be interesting to see how it handles the TT course...

 

Ciao,

I thought it was April 1st again, that looks like a toy/model box photoshop'd in front of the Pagetts van !  We'll see if the hype was worth it !

All Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! once again the IOM hills will be alive with V4 moozic...

 

Mr.Honda's race bred V4s have dominated the natural road course like pinned
in sixth gear at red line the rider in full tuck going quicker all the while
telephone poles fence posts and roadside curbs ensure mistakes meet with
either injury or instant death... A casual observer must think a road race for
crazies but I think of it as heaven on earth...

A two-stroke at IOM in this day and age. The weight of the rider's balls must really hurt his times.

You're mistaken sir...the balls don't his times.  The balls are made of steele and while they do add a modicum of weight, the only thing they hurt is the inside of the knees whilst walking.

+1

 

For even riding a modest LM1000 around the mountain course at a safe pace requires good focus...

 

And speaking of scary, try the ferry crossing between Liverpool and Douglas..

It still sounded cool. I really wish there were better coverage here. I didn't realize we'd only be getting the day condensed into an hour just before midnight.
