Honda RCV 1000 MotoGP Replica May Come in 2015

Honda is rumored to shed some light on the rumored Honda RCV 1000 MotoGP Replica at the 2013 EICMA in Milan, Italy this November.

Some photos surfaced on social networks, and in case the bike they depict is the upcoming machinery, it's going to be a blast.

However, such a blast comes with a blast to kill the casual riders' budget. Pretty much like any similar replica of a racing machine, it is a very expensive toy, with the price tag rumored to read €100,000 ($133,500).

For this money, Honda will deliver a bike with specs pretty close to those of the RC123V Pedrosa an Marquez are riding. The engine could be a V4 derived from the MotoGP prototypes, and capable to offer a power way above the 200 hp mark, with revised electronics and a more streetable character.

Small LED headlights could be integrated in the intake ports, while turn signals and a license plate holder would be really easy to add to the build for street homologation.
