@MrKamechan they do its called a cbr1000rr and it only costs a little under 14,000...no one can push it to its limit except pros or experienced track day riders, so the idea of giving average riders a rc211v would be a death sentence or incredible waste of potential...
@MS3boostin -- Yes, I am aware of the CBR1000RR. I have one. And you're right--most riders cannot push today's sportbikes to the limit. But a "replica" of the RC is what many of Honda's enthusiast customers want, not another cookie-cutter inline-4, (especially one that was engineered poorly like the 2008-2011 generation 1000RR: 4 cranks in 4 years, oil burning due to poor ring design, poor paint, etc...etc...). Hopefully the 2012 model will be better-sorted...
If only Honda would make a street-going replica of this bike. The world would beat a path to their door.
Of course the bean-counters will never allow it to happen...
