Honda has officially unveiled a MotoGP bike for the street, titled the RC213V-S and ridden onto the stage during the Japanese brand’s press presentation at the EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy, today.

While details and specifications remain scarce upon the release, the model Marquez debuted was complete with road-going lights, mirrors, a tail-section developed for street use and treaded tyres.

Alongside the carbon-fibre clad version ridden by Marquez was a static bike featuring a paint job with a Japanese theme, celebrating 100 years of the famous EICMA show.

The RC213V-S (signalling its a street variant) model name is similar to the production-based racer that Australian Jack Miller will compete aboard in 2015 – the RC213V-RS.

Further information is expected to be released in time for the annual Tokyo Motorcycle Show next March.
