The 1983 NS500R ridden by F. Spencer to his first world championship is the best looking racing motorcycle ever made, narrowly eclipsing the Manx Norton and the Honda RC166. There, I said it. Honorable fourth for the Britten

AMA Dirt track.
1981: THE 'NS750': Probably the strangest development of a modern era road motorcycle for competition purposes, the NS750 used the venerable CX500 twin 'shaftie' as the the donor motorcycle engine. The engine was turned through 90 degrees in the frame to allow for chain drive to the rear wheel. Incredibly Freddie Spencer competed on this motorcycle in AMA dirt track racing.
The staggering part of the 'design' was the placement of the carburettors and air filters, hanging out in the airstream. Then there was the matter of two miniature radiators!
The 1981 NS750 engine was a 750cc v-twin, liquid cooled with four valve OHV arrangement.

You've just given me a fantastic idea for a pre '82 junior race bike build.

Looking at this for a friend and was thinking $6.5, but most of the essential stuff seems to have been done.

seen those dirt trackers, just taking the piss, they were a great bike, for a long time i wanted a cx650 euro figuring spec wise they had longevity and i liked the motor set up, but as time went on other shit got betterer and i never got around to getting one.
i did have a turbo for a while, never liked it though...

Dreaming or not?
Could be another 'just because it is old doesn't make it valuable' or???

Not an original idea. An Aermacchi customer of mine in Adelaide was building one last time I spoke to him about 3 years ago...I of course ridiculed it but he said he really liked the heads and could see some good HP coming. His target weight was, I thought, optimistic....
