Classic Freddie Spencer video

[onearmedbandit]

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...

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!

And to think that Rossi's M1 top speed is 330kph plus, and 240hp, the car may need a tad more than 30 seconds start...:gob:

Barry Sheene was once giving a non works bike to race, 140 hp, he said '' you wouldn't pull a school boy of ya granny with that''.....:angry:

Cool vid tho' Nut With a Pea......:done:

You and your 250 comments....:Punk:

Actually, A NS400R would probably suit me more.... in the original red/blue/yellow and white.... liked that colour scheme, I did.

[imdying]

Awww man, where can I get a guy to stand there blipping my throttle to warm it up before I ride?

[MattRSK]

I would love to have a go at that corkscrew corner on my bike!

Think it says 500 a few times in the vid I watched plus you ever seen a 250 whip the front up like that?!

Maybe whilst you were dreaming.
