Anyone heard anything? They seem to be leaving it quite late this year?

50th anniversary specials?

If it's a 300RR equivalent in Repsol colors I will be jealous... 

I spoke to a Honda rep and he said just new graphics for 2018, they have lots of the current frames left over so won't make a new model yet

The 4rt has another 3 years of production left before it's due replacing ;0) the 18 bikes are getting 2kg of lead added to the bash plate to lower the centre of gravity, 2 spark plugs (one can be removed for even less engine breaking, 2g lighter tubless air valves, special lightweight white decals and helium in the tyres to make the bike float over rocky stream beds.

In 2019 Honda plan to fit the auto balance feature for all the decrepid ageing 4rt owners (no more 5's although the odd dab will be order of the day due to muscle memory). And in its final year Honda plan the debut the autonomous 4rt, with electric start, the old farts can sleep whilst negotiating each section and the built in gps/apple app automatically calculates the perfect score for a guaranteed win. I've already paid me deposit, 791 sleeps before collection and I can't wait :0)
