Honda`s RC211V is the most successful motorcycle in modern MotoGP racing.

The Honda RC211V is a four-stroke race motorcycle from HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) developed in 2001 to replace the two-stroke Honda NSR500.
It was developed as a direct result of major changes to the regulations for the World Championship motorcycle road racing 500 cc (30.5 cu in) class for the 2002 season. The name of the class was modified to MotoGP; and while two-stroke engines remained limited to 500 cc (30.5 cu in) and 4 cylinders; four-stroke engines were now allowed to be as large as 990 cc (60 cu in) and from three to six cylinders – which led many teams to switch to four-stroke designs.
The model name designates the following:

RC = Honda`s traditional racing prefix for 4-stroke bikes
211 = first works bike of the 21st century
V = V engine

In 2006; the RC211V came in three flavors: the “Brno bike” to be ridden by Hayden; a 2006 bike with a special chassis for Pedrosa; and a 2006 bike to be ridden by Melandri; Elías; Stoner and Tamada; Melandri and Stoner eventually got the special Pedrosa chassis.[7] Hayden`s RC211V was modified to put the crankshaft higher; the clutch and gearbox lower; and to lengthen the swing arm; the goal was to centralize mass and improve stability. After the Jerez round; Hayden was the fastest Honda rider in testing. At the British GP; HRC gave Hayden a new chassis; but Hayden complained that he didn`t have enough time to test it. Hayden had started the year with the same clutch as Pedrosa; but four rounds later it was shelved in favor of a clutch Hayden had used in previous years; at the Brno round; he had a problem with the clutch that contributed to a 9th-place finish. Honda and Hayden had difficulty finding a clutch that would allow a good launch at the start but also work well throughout the race. Hayden eventually won the rider championship and Honda reclaimed the constructors` championship.

Factory riders: Nicky Hayden; Dani Pedrosa
Satellite riders: Makoto Tamada; Marco Melandri; Toni Elías; Casey Stoner
The RC211V was retired when rules dictated a switch to 800 cc (49 cu in) capacity; Honda`s bike for 2007 was the RC212V.
