Classic Freddie Spencer video

**onearmedbandit** · 13th April 2006, 20:33

Mid eighties video of Freddie Spencer on his Honda NSR 500 taking on a Nissan 300ZX Turbo and a Honda Sabre(!) at Laguna Seca. The car gets to go first, followed by the Sabre, then Freddie puts on his gloves and his helmet. The rest you'll have to watch...

Here.

That's a different Laguna Seca than we are used to seeing.Now if that was Steve Millen in one of his 300ZX Nissan's Freddie might wish he had been a bit faster with the gloves and helmet.

But a Honda Sabre??!! Like,was it free or something?

And that 84 NSR was Super Nasty, Hondas first V4, had the fuel tank below the engine and the exhausts going over the top of the motor. Cool vid, hadnt seen it before, thought those old ZX300 were quick, impressed that the 700cc Sabre caught him like that.
No tyre warmers on that NSR either.
Damn, Freddie Spencer was cool, wasnt he? 1982-85, that was his era!
