2002
In 2002, the debut year of the RC211V, Honda and Valentino Rossi dominated by winning the constructor's championship by more than 100 points over their nearest rival. The bike underwent small modifications over the season, but it did not as yet have traction control so much as a handlebar-mounted power management system with 3 settings for different needs during a race.
- Factory riders: Valentino Rossi, Tohru Ukawa
- Satellite riders (in the latter part of the season): Alex Barros, Daijiro Kato
