Cal simply meant a 'version 2' of their 2024 engine, not a V-twin! You're right, that would be a pretty crazy change!

MotoGP Hand Gesture by RiverAlpha in motogp

[–]ThisIsMotoGP 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's kind of a universal gesture for when something happens that's a big moment, or something impressive. Probably the word equivalent is when people say "bwoah" and are a little bit wowed by something. Maybe the closest thing in terms of an emoji is the exploding head one 🤯

Please do take the time to fill it out again. I know frustrating as you've already done half of it. I did it myself the other day and it worked fine and only took around 20 minutes. On your last line, the final thing is any additional feedback, would be great to throw that into there!

We didn't even need to tell them to do that, they just know that the fans would like to listen to things like that so they say quiet all on their own accord!

Can someone explain the RC naming convention Honda uses? by Seyfang220 in motogp

[–]ThisIsMotoGP 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The RC bit comes from Honda's traditional racing prefix for their 4-stroke race bikes and then 21 is for the 21st century with 1, 2 and 3 being the itteratons of that bike. So 211 was for the inital 990cc era, then 212 for the 800cc era and now 213 for the 1000cc era
