...something I enjoyed seeing during Rossi's last weekend of racing (Valentino Rossi surprised by his 9 title-winning bikes). Even though I'm more of a Yamaha / Suzuki sort of person (in terms of my personal preferences about which motorcycles I have owned) the Honda RC211V is probably my favourite 4 stroke grand prix bike. I love the exhaust note from this bike (although not as good as a 2 stroke 500 - in my personal opinion). The RC211V sounds like a V4 in a bad mood. There's a short article about the Honda RC211V and a link to a GP featuring Rossi riding it (Assen 2002) here: Honda’s ‘Famous Five’, the MotoGP five-cylinder legend
