MotoGP's next-generation 850cc prototypes hit the track at Mugello on August 5, with Honda's Takaaki Nakagami setting the fastest time of the day in the high 1:47s. That beat the May benchmark of a 1:47.2 set by Bulega, this time under noticeably hotter track conditions.
From corner entry to exit, that didn't ride like an 850 fighting its own weight. Bulega's 1:47.2 from May just got beaten, and this time it happened in hotter conditions. What Nakagami put down out there is proof Honda's new bike is the real deal.

Isn't it early to judge off one day of testing?
Maybe, but Nakagami topping the sheet on its own means something.
Honda's 850 genuinely looks like the real deal now!
High 1:47s beating Bulega's 47.2 in hotter conditions is actually nuts.
Grip usually drops as temps rise, so the setup must be genuinely dialed in.
