  • In episode #14 we take a look at the 1987 Rothmans Honda NSR500 of Wayne Gardner. This is one of his Championship winning bikes on display at the National Motor Racing Museum in Bathurst Australia. We'll take a closer look at this 2 Stroke beast of a bike and delve into some historical footage of another time when men were men and bike bit back. Enjoy!

      Yep I remember the Go Show, all that talent completely gone to waste, if only I had 10% of that style. In fact I think we went to the Island on my ZZR600? Mid nineties?

      Yes, you are correct. The Wollongong Wizz! He basically learn't to ride all around his home town on his dirt bike when he was a kid. Probably learn't his craft out running the local Police.🤣 Thanks for the watch. He was one of my hero's and I was there for his 1989 Phillip Island GP win.

    a 160hp 500cc... wowsers. why are we stuck with modern 500s at 50hp! seems like bike tech is going backwards.

      True but could you imagine the carnage if any loser could buy one and ride on the roads. 🤣🤣🤣
      It's bad enough with the latest 200 plus horsepower weapons! Just can't wait til they cost a couple of grand on the secondhand market. 😂😂😂

      500cc twostroke = 1000cc fourstroke. Ergo, 500cc fourstroke = ca. 50 hp (well, todays machines are more like ca. 90 hp). Remember on a fourstroke only one in two seperate strokes is a ”working” stroke. On a twostroke every seperate stroke is a ”working” stroke !

    Make longer shows. And when you say you’ll rev a twostroke machine up, well don’t play the soundtrack of a fourstroke machine. Lazy !!! But, as I said - longer, more detailed shows . And don’t try to fool us again !!
    Got it ?
