What should Honda's 990 V5 be fitted to.

I'm curious to know, given the V5 debate in another thread, where you would put your hard earned if you were going to buy a V5 Honda.

I've voted for the RC30/45 option as it might be a little more 'special' than being put in a blade (which is already a developing / accomplished IL4 model)...I reckon the price would be a little more than £12-14k though, but I'm sure it would still get sales on the back of the 'RC' pedigree being perhaps a little more race/track orientated* than the blade.

• I refuse to use the Americanism 'oriented' that has crept into use over here...a vile vile bdisation of the English language I tell you!

I voted for the Blackbird replacement because (since were using bullits)

• Its about time Honda took the Super Mental In Your Face Nutter bd Tourer title away from the Busa

• I would think that this engine would be too heavy for a scratcher but I could be wrong - anyone know what is weighs?

Doubtful, given that it's developed from a GP bike, which aren't exactly renowned for being lardy.

i voted the same, i would be happy to pay a little more for a RC30/RC45 style bike over a Fireblade, i would not spend £20k or more on a Moto GP bike for the road though.
