Could the average rider even take the RC213V-S's performance?
Being a street-legal version of a MotoGP race bike, the Honda RC213V-S is made to go well past the limits of the average rider. It has been detuned for road use but still has abilities that are probably more than enough for all but the most experienced riders. The practicality and safety of such a high-performance machine in the hands of 'average' enthusiasts are thereby questioned. Can the bike’s advanced electronics and rider aids tame it, or is it too much bike for anyone other than a professional racer? Moreover, does the necessity of limiting its full capability on the road detract from the very things that make it unique in the first place?
No way. It's like giving a fighter jet to someone who's only flown a Cessna. Recipe for disaster.
Modern electronics allow average riders to deal with big power. It's not about how fast you go; it's about how usable the power is.
The real question is, could the average rider afford it? If you can drop 184k on a bike, you’ve probably got some skills.
In reality, it’s actually designed to be surprisingly manageable. Honda's whole philosophy is making fast bikes that are easy to ride.
It’s neutered anyway, being the street-legal version. It's not that much crazier than a top-end literbike in stock form.
Average rider? No. However, it’s not designed for the average rider. It's for experienced track enthusiasts and collectors.
If you had proper training and respected the machine, most decent riders could handle it. It's not some uncontrollable beast.
The problem isn't the bike; it's the ego of the rider. Any bike is rideable as long as you ride within your limits.
