rumor mill says he isn't going to race...but something in my gut tells me he is going to have a wildcard ride on a 2014 production RC213V at PI as a way of demonstrating its capabilities.

" HRC have flatly denied that the test is a prelude to a MotoGP return for the Australian, according to MCN." http://motomatters.com/news/2013/07/22/casey_stoner_to_test_honda_s_motogp_bike.htmlIt'd be a treat to see him and MM wheel-to-wheel at PI... well, anywhere, really. |

It would indeed. Don't really see the point of it but it still would be fun to watch. Like Bayliss, Stoner is probably getting bored and is tired of changing diapers.  |

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

According to the article, Stoner is tweaking a D16esque street bike like special edition for Honda

Honda needs a RC bike back in the line up. My RC51 Hayden is almost 10 years. They need a LE Zoot Capri RC MotoGP knock off with lights and a horn.   Just don't put the price in the stratosphere.  |

From the article: And Honda insiders say he will also evaluate the performance potential of a new production 1000cc racer that the Japanese factory will make available next year.That's the limited production racer that Honda is selling for 2014. Where did you get the 'street bike' thing? |

I'd like to see Stoner come back for P.I. and beat everyone by 5-10 seconds. He'd still probably wax everyone at that track even with no seat time.

There's been a couple of brief articles in Motorcyclist & possibly Cycle World that allude to a special edition street bike race replica coming --- high price estimate though. |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

Yup. Can't remember the sources, but I do remember reading it (in print) a couple of times. Immediately thought that would be my next bike. |

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

He would not be testing a street bike and CRT is not quite accurate. It's a dumbed down version of the current bike, probably without the tranny or factory ECU.

YES, what they are referring to is the customer purchase racing RC213V without Pnuematic valves and Seamless Shift gearbox and a different ECU package. Supposedly they will also come with Nissin brakes and Showa suspension....

Every time I see this thread title pop up, I think it's a test I'll likely fail.
