NRs are just bloody wicked. Much more special juice on them than even on my no9!!

Excellent...the vid on youtube by that Dutch bloke is brilliant - what a noise.

If I ever get minted..I am going to buy two of them..one to track and one to play out on :tits:

The article pretty much says it all. The process behind the NR is all the Honda stands for, and probably we we still love our dear VFR's so much.

If I could only have one the NR would win hands down.. I've only ever seen two of them in the flesh and sadly neither of them were runnign when I saw them :(

I recall somebody who had ridden one quite a bit said the noise was like a bassdrum being cut in half by a chainsaw.

Maybe we should all pool some money together and try and buy one as a club bike ;)

Those NR's are just so lovely, it's the little touches I like how the lower fairing passes the rear wheel and the one piece top fairing. It's certainly one of those bikes you wouldn't want to drop! :grin:

Shot this photo of one of them at the annual bike show (heard that NR-engine running...a beauty!)

You do mean the 93 CBR900RR-P in the background right, not the VFR? :whistle:

One of my dream bikes that..

Actually It could be a 92 RRN, I can't remember which year had which color.. either way it's an original model ;)
