Ermmm a few facts left out of that bit of corporate spin for the Big H.

Aprilia took their first GP win in 1987 and last with a rebadged Aprilia in 2008 that's 21 yrs, first in 125's was 1990 last 2011 which is another 21yr span. In 2002 the Noale factory had 140 GP victories then they relly kicked Honda's arse when Jan Thiel was calling the shots.

Despite the kissing ass on honda's side, the video was fairly accurate. This bike was producing the same hp figures as bikes weighing 150lbs more and with an extra 500cc. There was no reason for it to "Disappear." Kinda like the trx250r which was only produced for three years but was kept alive with aftermarket support(Honda have always hated two strokes), twenty years of awesomeness, and they replaced it with the 450 class, funny part is that people are still going back to the trx250r chassis geometry with is now over 27 years old.
