[art #905]. Limited Edition Print by Steve Dunn.

2006 was Nicky Hayden's greatest year, winning the MotoGP World Championship aboard the mighty Repsol Honda RC211V. Nicknamed "The Kentucky Kid", he demonstrated grit and determination throughout the season fighting fiercely on Honda's astonishing V5-powered machine. The RC211V was an amazing force of engineering with its 990cc engine providing massive power, but it was Hayden's skill in wringing every ounce of performance out of the bike that truly shone through.

Honda's RC211V had excellent acceleration and a stable chassis, but it was also a bike that required finesse in managing its brutal power delivery. Hayden's ability to remain consistent in a season filled with challenges, particularly the epic final rounds, allowed him to clinch the title in dramatic fashion. At tracks such as Laguna Seca where Hayden excelled, he utilized the Honda's balance and braking stability to perfection throwing the bike around the famous corkscrew with great finesse.

In a season where Valentino Rossi was the expected champion, Hayden's combination of perseverance and Honda's formidable engineering saw him come out on top by cementing his place as one of the sport's great champions. His victory in 2006 was a testament to his personal resilience and Honda's enduring pursuit of MotoGP supremacy.
