Honda RC213V-S Becomes The Most Expensive Japanese Bike Sold At Auction

The Honda RC213V-S has become the most expensive Japanese motorcycle to be sold at an auction.

The road-legal MotoGP-spec bike was put on auction in a Japanese Bingo & Yahoo Auction on the final day of October 2021, for a price of JPY27.1mil (RM995k).

The bike broke the previous record held by a 1-of-4 Honda CB750 Prototype (1968) sold for JPY25.1mil (RM921k).

Build strictly based on a MotoGP replica, the value of the RC213V-S is said to go up each year despite over 200 units being produced in 2016.

According to reports, the particular model auctioned off comes with the Sports kit included with just 191km on the clock.

The RC213V-S makes around 212hp and is road legal.
