Product Introduction
[A historic machine that challenged a new era. A perfect reproduction of the original NSR500!]
In 1983, Honda won its first Road Racing World Championship title since 1967 with the 2-stroke V3 NS500, but it was clear that the three-cylinder engine no longer provided enough power. The following year, in 1984, a new machine was introduced, equipped with a single-crank V4 engine. The V4 engine was mounted in an aluminum frame, which would later evolve into a twin-spar frame, and featured an ambitious upside-down layout with the engine chamber above and the fuel tank below. The original Honda NSR500, which embodied Honda's spirit of challenge and would dominate road racing for the next 19 years, is finally joining the 1/12 scale motorcycle series.
