Product introduction
[A historic machine that challenged a new era. A complete reproduction of the original NSR500! ]
In 1983, Honda won the title of the road racing world championship since 1967 with the 2-stroke V-type 3-cylinder NS500, but it was clear that the 3-cylinder power shortage was no longer enough. Therefore, the following year, in 1984, a new machine equipped with a 1-axle crank V-type 4-cylinder engine was introduced. A V4 engine was mounted on an aluminum frame that later developed into a twin spar frame, and an ambitious structure with a chamber placed on top of the engine and a fuel tank upside down from normal was adopted. The first model of the “Honda NSR500,” which embodies Honda's spirit of challenge and will dominate road racing over the next 19 years, has finally appeared in the 1/12 motorcycle series.
