Fairy Nuff.
Personally, although I love VFRs, and this was a ground-breaking bike, and a technological showcase for Honda, I wouldn't want an NR. It's too expensive, too exclusive, and doesn't look quite as kewl today as it did when it was first released. It's also somewhat of a slap in the face given that Honda have done such a crap job of upgrading the VFR over the last 8 years. They spent a fortune designing the NR and making it reliable, more to show they could do it than to make money from sales. By the time it was sorted, it wasn't as competitive as other less complicated bikes.

But it does have some very kewl features, which were very innovative at the time, and some of which have made it on to production models:
- Single-sided swingarm
- Oval pistons
- 32 valves
- Iridium-coated screen, for the HUD system
- Indicators in the mirrors
- Use of carbon fibre
- Ram air intake
- USD forks
- Single-nut race rear wheel
- Underseat zorst

I might have to escape from Cubicle Hell for a few minutes and go and drool on it...

That is in great condition. Nice bit of kit and I hope it gets run, though the temptation would be to put it in a glass case in the lounge.

thanks for the photos: you guys are obviously the guys to talk to about my RC45 (that I want....)

From what Ive heard the bike will be ridden and not locked up!

Rumours are that Troy @ Motoworld can get just about anything you want from Nipponland......
