For the first time you have the opportunity to ride a great Honda RVF-RC45 motorcycle at a speed of almost 300km/h. You participate in exciting races taking place on 20 excellent tracks. In the fight for victory, 23 other competitors compete with you. The races are presented with high realism. You have the possibility to change the parameters of your machine.
