Every other team in MotoGP is looking up to Honda these days. If they want to do anything to topple Marc Marquez’s march towards a third straight world championship, they’re going to have to do something about the new Honda RC213V.
The prototype of the bike was recently unveiled by the Repsol Honda team in Bali a month before the 2015 MotoGP season kicks off in Sepang, Malaysia. That explains the rather exotic location of the reveal, don’t you think?
The 2015 RC213V features a familiar-looking livery with Repsol retaining most of the real estate space on the bike, including the unmistakable orange color scheme, on account of its title sponsorhip of the team. Likewise, energy drink Red Bull is also returning as a team sponsor and this time around, the company has a larger sponsorship role on the team, hence the prominent logo placements on the front fender, the windshield, and the belly pan just underneath the tail.
Two-time defending world champion Marc Marquez and teammate Dani Pedrosa were on hand for the 241-horsepower bike’s debut. So here it is, ladies and gentlemen. The ride Marquez and Pedrosa will use this season as it attempts to re-assert its dominance in MotoGP.
