I disagree, the architecture of the bike is defintely a direct result of the RC211 with the engine being the exception. The frame, elongated swingarm, modified rear suspension linkage were all brought directly from the RC211. My guess is that the V5 was simply to expensive to produce for the masses. If you take the tank and plastic off of the CBR and stick it next to the 211, they look very similar.
