The Honda RC211V was developed in 2001 by HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) to replace the Honda NSR500 because regulations for the World Championship motorcycle road racing 500 cc (30.5 cu in) class were changed drastically for the 2002 season. Two-stroke engines were as before limited to 500 cc (30.5 cu in) and 4 cylinders but four-stroke engines were allowed to grow up to 990 cc (60 cu in) and from three to six cylinders.
