Broadband power and torque. Incredibly stable, razor-sharp cornering. There's only one sportbike in the Honda line with this combination of race-honed performance and handling: the stellar RC51, a machine that's won both the AMA and World Superbike crowns. Built around a 90-degree V-twin engine and twin-spar chassis, it's all about high tech — without the high maintenance. |
