The Honda RC213V-S Isn’t Sold Out…Yet

Do you want a MotoGP bike in your garage (or living room, as the case will likely be)? Do you have $184,000 and then some, burning a hole in your pocket? Do you like not living in a house, but think carbon fiber fairings will keep you warm at night?

If you said yes to any of those questions, you should buy a Honda RC213V-S.

In seriousness, if owning a Honda RC213V-S is a notion that does strike you, then you better hurry up with your order. This is because we asked Honda how orders were coming with the RC213V-S, and the Japanese brand responded that reservations for the MotoGP-bike-for-the-street are quite abundant, indeed.

Building one bike a day, Honda’s Hamamatsu factory could deliver roughly 250 units of the Honda RC213V-S in the coming year, at the maximum. This number is higher than the ~220 initially planned.

However, there have already been well over 300 purchase reservations made on Honda’s dedicated website for the RC213V-S, with the reservation window still open for another week of time.

A reservation is not a sale though (customer intent is said to be high, however), and each market is handling differently how it takes a customer from reservation to finished sale.

In the US, the process requires the buyer to sign a contract with an authorized Honda dealer, and plunking down a $50,000 deposit. In other markets, buyers deal directly with the Honda distributor for their order.

Once Honda has hit its maximum production capacity on the Honda RC213V-S, it will stop accepting purchase contracts. Meaning, if you don’t get yours in ahead of the curve, you could be SOL.
