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

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.

That's the one with the oval pistons. It would be fun to ride. Plus, I think it looks fine, like a Honda VFR.

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:

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:
