The Honda ridden by Nicky Hayden in the 2006 season was actually a development of the Honda that the Repsol riders had ridden in previous seasons. It was, for example, a development of the RC211V with which Rossi won the world title in 2002 and 2003, a powerful machine built on the “Big Bang” system, with a 990C V5 engine.

In 2006, it was a more powerful machine and with several modifications to the chassis, giving it more than 240 horsepower.
