c'mon, don't hedge your bets like that.... put down a figure.
Honda RN01 frameset
- Thread starter wujj
- Start date
I am betting it will be an impressively low price. Whats a highend frame cost now, 2800? Take that and tack on about $750-800 for the gearbox. I'd imagine the $3800 figure above is a good bet.
3800 seems a little too low to me.
high end frame - 2600msrp,
750-800 gear box.
(Rear hub / chain / Cranks included in the kit?)
1400 high end fork (comparably speaking with other high end forks)
you're at ~5000 there. Depending on how main stream Honda wants these to be i can see it fluctuating around that figure.
$3999 Usd
I was just going off what the guy said above about no fork included, which i can see.
Ah without a fork that number is more plausible (the guy said with fork though)
I think that they should either keep it super exclusive to keep the mestique of the RN01, or they should at least offer a cheaper version where they do replace the carbon with plastic and stuff like that to really help get the ball rolling for gearboxes
The production bike will have plastic, it's in the thread.
Anyways, I'm sure Honda isn't too concerned with the "mestique" (mesquite?) of the RN01.
Perhaps they'll hire you one for the season and up grade at the end of the year.
Retail price for purchase $8.5G with fork.

"I'll have two please..."
Crap. Source?
the lahar comes in at more like 4500, fyi, without hubs.
price apparently went up.

I'm just guessing like the rest.
Or did you want some crap sauce? LOL.
I had heard a figure of around 800,000 yen being thrown around over here but that was a while ago. I had heard rumours that Honda were going to release it before the start of the Japan race season but that didn't happen!! I can't remember for sure but I think I heard that the frameset would include the fork too (Showa). Here in Japan I think there are 3 forks that are/have been used on the Honda.
As long as we all are guessing, I'll go with $3999.00
Has anybody ever seen one without the fender?
They rode them once upon a time without the fender, but they seem to keep them on now even in the dry. I think it's a sort of image thing due to thembeing Honda?
I think if you've got Showa suspension, you just gotta run fenders. I really just want the fork, that'll make me happy for a while.
without hubs? The lahar frameset (at barest minimum) comes with the rear hub, no shock or gearbox, unsure about chain and cranks though - and at that level they're definately a lot less than US$4500.
Definitely. Looks way better with the fender mounted IMO.
I was qouted 6490nzd for frame, rohloff, rr hub, cranks, shock, etc. (basic build kit). That comes out to about 4861usd not including shipping. My bad on not including the rear hub.
does anybody know if they're just selling the frameset or complete?
I'd be willing to bet they'd do a complete bike, unless it's officially been stated.

As Knightchild stated,the bare minimum frame package,this includes rear hub,headset,BB bearings and shock. That's it.
Your quote was for the basic build kit,Rohloff,rear hub,Saint cranks,shock,chains,BB,Headset,rear hub,sprockets,bacsiclly the whole drive train.

I'm the opposite, I think it looks better without the fender.
Not sure if this link has been posted before. All I've ever seen is the Japanese website.
