2016 Honda RC213V-S Press Kit

While not currently "historical" in our usual sense, it will be one day. Until I stumbled on this yesterday I had no idea some of the engineering they'd accomplished as described in this long read.

Impressive technology. Little tidbit found is Honda has used over 350 Red or Red tint colors, it's no wonder we have trouble with getting the right one.

Agreed, and must be so confusing and/or annoying to some owners.

To substantiate your 'tidbit' the 2017 CBR1000RR SP2 was designated 'Victory Red.' The 2018 model was designated 'Grand Prix Red' yet very little difference was discernable.

One might struggle to believe there could be more than 350 shades of red, but verification will be found in my wife's lipstick drawer.:biggrin:
