The race machine I sold the most was the RS125.
I probably sold more than 10% of HRC’s total worldwide production.
Every morning, we lined them up facing the road,
and I remember how much work that was.
Times have changed, and the tools have changed as well.
We’ve started assembling the engine for Le Mans,
and its beauty is absolutely mesmerizing.
Even CBR owners will probably never get the chance to see the inside of their own engines,
so it makes me think of something like a tuna-cutting show.

The photos show today’s newly arrived CBR1000 and the engine assembly process.
