Thanks man, watching that video was the highlight of my day. Anybody know if Honda plans to build street versions of the RCV?

No many how many laps I ride, I just can't relate to the speeds these guys sustain. Another excellent video.

What is always amazing is how casual and comfortable guys like Rossi are. Here is on this 220 horsepower 275 lb bike, that turns on a dime and he's jumping around on it clowning, turning around to look at the camera, talking you name it. Reminds us of our novice status!!

that vid was damned well done. definitely fun to watch. would seem mr rossi is quite the personable young fellow. i was also amazed at how relaxed & nonchalant he seemed with the bike practically horizontal. wish i coulda read more than half the text tho.
zhool, u mean to tell me that bike is really 275 dry?!?

As I recall reading someplace they claim the GP bikes are well below 300 pounds. I know the 2 strokes are at 275 to 278 the 4 stroke might be a tad more but it's still outrageously light. And that weight is with fuel. Because they have to weigh x amount to be legal! It's really quite simple, if you take all the money in the world and use it to buy the most expensive and unobtainable components on the planet weight becomes less of an issue!
