    Ha well we know how to close the can, the blade will never be a V4, an RC1000V for the road, maybe, a V4 blade, Never...or its not a blade...

    Now I fancy a project V4, say a VFR800 tuned right up and stuck in a blade frame, beat Honda to an RC1000 for the road...best I can do as I can't cast a motor.

    The production racer is €1,000,000.00 - €1,500,000.00. I think that price is 1yr lease. Its called the RCV1000R. Its based on the pneumatic valved. This is a spring valve engine.

    Did you know they charge the pneumatic valves to around 3,000/3,500 psi (200bar) afaik before each session.

    Nuh, he's a simple living guy, made his money lost the bottom line love of the sport imo and as he put it, gone fishing. Tbh I don't think he will come back as much as I'd like to see him and MM go at it.. I think he got to the point of seeing the sport for what it has become....money....

    Clever technology that thing

    Yep, and thats a ZX10R motor converted to pneumatic valves, I did read some info on the RCV and remember not much gets said about it, I can't recall all the facts but I know its around full bottle pressure to charge the system, those full size bottles of nitrogen (often seen in the workshop/pit) are around 200bar.

    Would love to see Stoner back, but he is more into his RC cars these days.
    Imagine him and Marquez in huge same team ?
    Just testing would be competitive.

    The road version was supposed to compete with the Desmo tho, so they wouldn't move very much at £75k.

    Well a Ducati 1199SL is £54,000.00 and they all sold pre del (total made 500). I was chatting to a chap I know who works in Honda and asked the Q..

    Is the road ver of the RCV gonna happen, he said yes, I still think...maybe...

    My bet is £75,000.00 at least.

    I think "those with money" will not question 75k, after all a good super car is 200k and a run around range rover is 60-80k?

    They reckon it will be VERY exclusive so guess at 100-150 units?
