NSC50R for Repsol Honda MotoGP riders

Wednesday June 26^th 2013, 12:01 CET

Repsol Honda MotoGP contenders Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez have received new Repsol Honda NSC50R replica scooters for use in the paddock at the European rounds of the MotoGP Championship.

The NSC50R has a crisp, cutting-edge design and is powered by a highly efficient 4 stroke engine offering a tank range of over 270km. Honda’s Combined Braking System, fitted as standard, links front and rear brakes to improve safety and confidence. The Repsol Honda colour scheme adds further appeal for young riders eager to start their motorcycling life on a machine that echoes the look of the bikes ridden in motorcycling’s premier racing series.     

The Repsol Honda riders commented as follows:

Dani Pedrosa:

"It's fun for me and the team to have the NSC50R replica of our MotoGP race bikes to get around the paddock. They are essential to move from the motorhome, to the garage, to hospitality, especially at the home races in Spain! My team also use it to move around the service road during sessions over the weekend to watch me at different parts of the track and give me feedback."

Marc Marquez:

"Having two such different bikes in the paddock is something quite strange! We jump from the 50cc scooter onto a 1000cc MotoGP machine - you can't get much more different! We also use the scooter to do our track inspection on Thursdays before each GP."
