  • You knew it was going to happen and here it is. Adam finally has a chance to get an NR out on the road for a proper Sunday ride. The Honda NR is about as Iconic as it gets, and remains a marvel of design and technology to this day. Needless to say, Adam gets a little excited in this one!
    This particular NR is also the cover bike of our new Iconic Motorbikes 2021 Wall Calendar: bit.ly/2HEtCSU

    My love for motorcycles and their history actually the 1987 VFR750R (RC30) and 1988 Honda Hawk GT (RC31) were some of the first bikes to have the single sided swingarm similar to todays styling.

    • @JETZcorp
      @JETZcorp Před 3 lety

      I think the NR was even-firing. The big-bang engines were 2-stroke. A big-bang configuration in a 2-stroke is probably just a normal day at the office for a 4-stroke. My understanding is the NR team and NS teams at Honda were mostly separate. The NR500 was a Manhattan Project type undertaking to drag 4-strokes back into competition, whereas the NS was a small 2-stroke side project to hedge their bets in case the NR couldn't catch the Yamahas and Suzukis. The NS proved way more successful, eventually taking over and becoming the monstrous NSR series including the big-bang bikes. The NR project got this super sexy 750 street bike as a sort of going-away present and love letter.

    If they would catch you doing 100kph within urban limits they would take your license and matter of transportation and hit you with a massive fine and a courtdate, where i'm from.
