Now we will see the technology behind the hottest sports bike \u2018Honda CBR\u2019 which is derived from its big brother 2006 world champion Nicky hayden\u2019s Honda RC211V<\/em><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Boeing 747 takes off at 320 kph\u2014it\u2019s the top speed of a Ferrari. MotoGP bikes break two bills with power to spare. MotoGP is the ultimate motorcycle racing series, a pure combination of advanced technology and athletes psychotic enough to pilot these overpowered machines at speeds most wouldn\u2019t dare with four tires on the ground. Riders lean so severely into turns that they scrape their elbows and knees on the asphalt; brake so hard they have to force their weight over the back end of the bike to keep it from flipping; and accelerate so violently that their front wheels often leave the ground. The only reason the riders make it out alive is because they drive the most precisely engineered motorcycles ever made.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take, for example, Honda\u2019s RC211V\u2014the bike 2006 world champion Nicky Hayden rode to victory in the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix last July. The most advanced machine on the MotoGP circuit, it weighs less than 150kg yet packs more than 240 horsepower (around 20 times more than recently launched pulsar 200cc). It rockets to 160 kph in less than five seconds and can hit 346 kph. Oh, and it costs about $3 million (13.5 crores). <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
