I know it's not a V4 4 stroke, but it's close being a V3 2 stroke, ok not that close. So I hope I don't get told off for putting it in the wrong section.


But I've been searching YouTube for this video for weeks

You might guess why I'm interested.

My new project is a 1986 UK Spec NS400R Rothmans ;-)

The video is pretty long so might be a bit boring if you don't like them.

But I love it.

Great find! downloading a copy now :grin:

I also have an NS400R - it's a project though and by no means mint. The motor is fantastic; I was surprised just how quick it is (atacs removed).

Ahh cool another NS owner, yeah mine is a project and won't be running yet as I need some bits and an engine strip.

Getting Fast Freddie to do that Vid makes it even cooler.

Very cool vid! I have seen it before...what I wrote before...Fast Freddie personally handed over the first 18 NS400R's to their new firspt owners back in '85 at the weekend round of TT Assen...the lucky ones also had few other extra items including signed helmet replica. Best show was they had their first milleage done on the race track with Fast Freddie upfront. How cool PR is that. :peace:

Just watched the clip - great stuff.

I've seen an RS/NS 500first hand, it passed me cranked over floating the front through Piratella at Imola 8-)

Lovely machine, they just look timeless...

Nice, always liked the NS400 even though it was considered to be the underdog compared to the RG and RD 500's, it was a lot better bike to ride imo.
