HONDA RC213V-S

THE HONDA RC213V-S is often considered the most hardcore, track-biased road bike ever made. The motorcycle was released in 2015 as a limited-production street-legal MotoGP replica. Honda claims that the RC213V-S shares as much as 80 per cent of its parts with the MotoGP bike raced by Marc Márquez during that period. In fact, Marquez himself trained on an RC213V-S to prepare for a return to MotoGP post-injury. The motorcycle is powered by a MotoGP-derived 90-degree V4 engine which produces more than 215hp with the optional sports kit. The design of the bike also closely resembles the RC213V race bike, except for the lights and a few more components to make it street legal. Only 213 examples of the Honda RC213V-S were ever sold, making it one of the rarest production motorcycles. Last year, one of the examples created a new sale record by fetching more than a quarter-million dollars at an auction.

TOP 5 SAFETY TIPS ALL MOTORCYCLES RIDERS SHOULD KNOW

ALWAYS wear appropriate motorcycle riding gear irrespective of how long the ride is going to last

CHECK tyre pressure before you ride. Both low and high tyre pressures can be dangerous

IN case you are not wearing riding boots, make sure the laces of your shoes are safely tucked in

KEEP only your left foot down when you come to a stop and keep the rear brake covered with your right foot

IT'S safe to wear a bright coloured jacket while riding, especially at night, which will make you more visible to everyone else on the road
