RVF Honda puts you on board a realistically-modeled RC30 bike, with the task of becoming world champion. Initially you race at Clubman level on fictitious local tracks (one of which is set in Tetbury), before moving up to UK and then World championship racing if you're good enough.
The circuits feature obstacles such as puddles of water and oil, which can upset the bike's handling and cause you to crash. It takes time to remount the bike and get back up to speed by revving it back up. This adds a layer of realism to the game, but also makes mistakes more frustrating.
