Honda finally gave us the V4 sportsbike we’d been waiting for but for most of us the beautiful RC213V is out of reach. Luckily there are rumours of a more affordable version for us, the people.

2015 saw the long-awaited V4 sportsbike that had been talked about for so long, finally released to the public. Except with a limited production of just 250 hand-built bikes, most of us will never see one on the road, or track for that matter. At £137,000 for the base model (and that’s without the £10,000 sports kit that unleashes an extra 50bhp on top of the stock 165bhp) it’s not hard to work out why. However, there are rumours that Honda are developing a cheaper, more mass-market version. We hope it looks like this.

190bhp may not sound like much but the way it delivers that power will make every piston stroke worth it. Tractability, usability and torque will play a big part in how well the new V4 will go in the real world away from the dyno.

Bodywork-wise, it will take cues from the MotoGP bike and the Fireblade, as well as Honda’s first V4 performance road bike the VF1000R. Finally, as well as this year’s Aprilia RSV4, MotoGP wings make an appearance too. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that something like this becomes a reality soon.
