HRC boss Shuhei 'McPhee' Nakamoto has revealed that Honda's MotoGP production racer will now not be available at the Brno round this year but will be in evidence at Valencia.

The bike, which will be a snip at a million bucks, has a sprung-valve motor and standard (non-seamless-shift) transmission and will also come equipped with Dorna-spec software in the Magneti Marelli ECU.

"We’ll make a factory spec bike, but the engine is a bit different with a valve spring system and a standard transmission. The chassis we are trying to make a little bit cheaper, but to keep the performance is not easy. This is the reason our schedule is a little bit delayed," he said.
