:smash: Need4Speed 09-27-2004, 02:43 PM Dizamn!!! Why cant my last name be Hefner??? GSXR1000DJ 09-27-2004, 03:31 PM WOW Now that is a sweet bike. $55,000 I would be in so much trouble if I came home with that one day. :D The Saint 09-27-2004, 03:48 PM Yeah. Those sold for $60K new, back in 1992. I think Honda only made about 200 of them (150 for Japan, and 50 in Europe).
Though it was never sold here, there are about 6 of them in the US, Michael Mann owns one, Nicolas Cage has another. Gas Man 09-27-2004, 03:59 PM $55K was for the used one! The one on the top is brand new!! The Saint 09-27-2004, 04:23 PM $55K was for the used one! The one on the top is brand new!!
Yep. I spoke with one of the partners in that shop today, just for fun. He told me they have a *brand new* Japanese model that has never been started! :eek:
They even have an RC45 there for about $19K... Need4Speed 09-27-2004, 04:35 PM does that shop specialize in exotic bikes? nobody around here has that kinda stuff anywhere around :( Aaron 09-27-2004, 08:20 PM i dont like its looks.. :puke: Mudpuppy 09-27-2004, 10:09 PM i dont like its looks.. :puke:
I agree with that but then again I am partial to Yamaha only.. Give me an R7 over that Honda anyday.. Need4Speed 09-27-2004, 10:49 PM undertail exhaust is pretty sweet, looks like 2 jet engines coming out the back Gas Man 09-27-2004, 11:05 PM I love em. They're old, exotic, different, and fast...can't go wrong! ShanMan14 09-28-2004, 07:44 AM I wouldn't pay $55K, but I'd take it if someone gave it to me. :D Pigface1 09-28-2004, 09:14 AM Badazz bike, but it's hideous looking. The Saint 09-28-2004, 10:32 AM Badazz bike, but it's hideous looking.
You're crazy, Pig. No Worries 09-28-2004, 10:57 AM That's the one with the oval pistons. It would be fun to ride. Plus, I think it looks fine, like a Honda VFR. Pigface1 09-28-2004, 11:11 AM You're crazy, Pig.
No doubt about that. It still looks like dogshyt, though. lol The Saint 09-28-2004, 11:33 AM That's the one with the oval pistons. It would be fun to ride. Plus, I think it looks fine, like a Honda VFR.
Actually, the ('94-'97) VFR looks like this bike. They definitely took some styling cues from the NR750 for the VFR.
If I remember correctly, Loris Capirossi had one of these NRs close to 200 mph. I think his average speed (with and against the wind) was 186. :smash: No Worries 09-28-2004, 11:40 AM Plus it has 8 valves and 20,000 RPM. The Saint 09-28-2004, 11:44 AM Plus it has 8 valves and 20,000 RPM.
Right. But there are jackasses out there who would refuse to consider it an exotic, simply because it's a Honda... :crazy: :lol: Need4Speed 09-28-2004, 03:30 PM Right. But there are jackasses out there who would refuse to consider it an exotic, simply because it's a Honda... :crazy: :lol:
I may ride a suzuki, but Honda's have always rocked..they are timeless, IMO.. Dactyl 09-29-2004, 08:32 AM could i just have a new gixxer 600 instead?? | |
