a quick google came up with :
From hereExamining the history, a name with "RC" seemed most appropriate for a Honda four-stroke GP machine. Indeed, the machine with a "RC" was crowned with glory in Honda's firm racing history. Crowning "RC" on the name of the new machine that is going to set out in a new racing world of the new century means nothing but expressing Honda's passion and resolution toward the grand prix. Hence, a name starting with "RC" was settled.
After the "RC" came "211" for 21st century's first factory made machine. Furthermore, a letter "V" was added at the end to indicate the V-type engine, five of five cylinders in Greece number and the initial of Victory.

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
