    Marc rode a custom fireblade but Dani appears to be riding an RC213V but with fireblade parts? Very strange. Dani's bike has a swingarm similar to the fireblade, has a top brake with a ten kate caliper holder and just like all honda road bikes and the 2013 onward wheels seen on the CBR6000RR and CBR1000RR.

    Whilst it looks like an RCV213V the lower fairing is different and the side exhaust hasn't got the carbon cover.

    Well spotted!!! Maybe this is the cheaper RCV derived superbike they are on about. I say cheaper but MCN reckons it will still be around £25k

    The bike seems to have the fireblade engine design as its got a GBRacing cover and the gear linkage is near where the blade has it. Its made we wonder if this is in fact an old CRT bike with stock blade parts and a paint job.

    Well if the road going rcv is anything to go by this will be. 1000cc with 100bhp engine and cost another £5k to make it full power of 125bhp :D
