Engineered by Honda for the prototype - concept model motorcycle segment, the 2015 Honda RC213V-S utilizes a 1000 cc (61 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 230 HP (167.9 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 230 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the RC213V-S measures 160 kg (353 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.44 HP/kg (0.7 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,435 mm (56.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 350 km/h (217 mph).
