    I wonder if he will ever ride it, or just leave it to be looked at :(

    I think the only lucky thing is that he has a spare 150K to drop on a bike.

    He won't ride it! Otherwise his RC30 and SP1&2's would have been ridden

    I like it in those colours although the pre season black carbon looks best

    I agree that it will shamefully never be ridden which is a tragedy. In terms of the colours I think the HRC painjob is stunning.

    Surprised Honda have released one so soon - especially considering they didn't even bother showing one at this years NEC Show.

    The price is difficult to comprehend - it is nearly 4 times the price of what a Ducati Desmosedici cost new - and they had 200 BHP!

    I was thinking the same. But it's going to be the later though.

    Yeah I wonder if he paid the extra £8k to make it full power?

    Whatever he does with it I'm pleased for him. John has looked after me when I've bought from him in the past (and I'm 300 miles away) and he's Honda through and through so glad he's got one. Wonder if he got it trade?

    With 3k miles per a set of Pistons I wouldn't ride it either!

    I grew up round the corner from hunts. To be fair to john its probably a good item to get people in to the shop. I remember the original blade they had and have done a lot for honda racing.

    Ive had Michael dunlops supersport bike taken off a ramp for my old bike to go on, with john mcguiness tt ledgends on the ramp next to it.

    He was bound to be first to get delivery for the pr attached to it.

    Good luck to them despite it being a shame if it isnt used on track
